Happy Birthday Dad

I am so lucky to have such great parents... when I talk about my dad, it's funny because people never know which one I am talking about!! I am LUCKY enough to have TWO. So today is my dad's birthday. We went over to my mom and dad's house for dinner, cake and presents. This is my favorite picture of my dad, it's hard to get one of him smiling.. but Claire seems to know how to make that happen! This pic is a couple years old but has always been my favorite! SO dad.. Happy birthday! Thanks for being such an awesome DAD!! I love you!

broken bones x5

11:30pm...ring ring.."hello" "hey mac, do you know where mom is?" Strange question this time of night?!! "NO, what's up?" "I think I broke my arm!" ...mom found..trip to ER til 2:30 in the morning..broken in 3 places...surgery needed..surgery done..not enough pain pills to make it feel better.. 2pins 2screws and 1plate.. a HUGE splint!!! Fast Forward 1week (day after surgery) Levi and I do not do much celebrating on our anniversary any more.. Something about Cass being born on that day:) So the next day we left to go to lunch together (16 years and we celebrate by going to lunch!!) 2miles from home..ring ring..cass screaming on the phone so hysterically that I can't understand ONE thing she is saying.. after about 2 min of me yelling back at her to calm down.. she finally gets it out that Brady hurt his arm and "It LOOKS REALLY BAD MOM!!) me yelling at levi to turn around.. us both racing into the house to see Brady moaning on the couch..no tears..arm obviously broken..load him in the truck.. ER..xray tech saying "OHH" like I said obviously broken!2broken bones.. Resetting the arm.. I left the room for that one.. still NO tears!! A huge splint to match Uncle E.(cast a couple days later) a stop at Zabas for much needed food.. a stop at grandma's to compare arms!!
