Happy Birthday, Dad & Kailey!

Things that make Dad smile:

*tickling his grandkids 'til they're laughing hysterically and begging him to "stop!"

*a REALLY good deal (translated: on sale with rebates!)

*"ambling" up the river into the Gulf on his boat(s)

*eating his food HOT and SPICY!

*music and movies...the LOUDER the better!
("Play that Funky Music" was Dad's only song request at our wedding reception-it still makes us laugh when we think about that special night!) So pump up that volume-this one's for you, Dad!

*an icy cold margarita while he hangs out in his office

*a phone call from an old friend

*four little people who lovingly refer to him as "Papa"


"Graham, what do you like best about Kailey?"

"Well...she's my best friend...she likes to climb with me, and jump on the bed with me...and play with me...and eat with me....
LOTS of things, Mom!"
