Special Visits

One summer day the kids and I visited

Mr. Vardeman...my former 7th grade

English teacher who is now

my dear, dear friend.

He is the sweetest man who is

just so funny!!!  I love him to death!

I wake up to an email from him

every single morning. 

He wakes up VeRY early to one from me, too!

Mr. V is FAMOUS around Midway.

Everyone just loves this man!!!
He has a huge Indian collection

and my kids love to see things from it.

Hadlee entertained us with her

cheers during our visit and all three

loved trying on some headdresses.

We had such a nice time visiting

him and Mumsie, his 98 year old mom!

After our Mr. V visit,

I knew that my dad was home alone

while my mom was playing cards

with her Sunday School friends so

the kids decided they wanted to

"ding dong ditch" PaPa!

He was on to them though!!!

And met them around the side of the house;)

I love my dad so much.

It's hard seeing him age though:(

Two VERY, very special men

in my life that I couldn't be

more thankful for!!!
