My brothers and I are never allowed to play Trivial Pursuit on the same team and I've never managed to get Favorite to sing karaoke. We spend a lot of time sitting around the dinner table (not always with food), laughing and occasionally filling out crossword puzzles together. All of us love coffee and we are a loud group when we're all together. We love movies and (mostly) care deeply about the welfare of the others.
I'm blessed to know them. I'm especially blessed to call them mine. And one of these days I hope to add to the brood.

I had absolutely no idea that was your dad. He was in my p.e. class a lot of the times, monitoring a few students, I believe? and we were pals. Haha. Not really, but, I did talk to him a few times. I always thought he seemed like a really nice man. He didn't say a lot, but when he did, it always seemed philosophical. I was intrigued. :] That's awesome that he's your dad. And anyway- cute post:)
