Today is my father-in-law’s birthday and I LOVE this picture of him!…it just shows how great his sense of humor is. (And a bit of a smart aleck☺) To a wonderful father, a great grandpa, and the best father-in-law a gal could ask for…HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 
Being a family is such a blessing! I love to see tender moments shared between brothers and making up new games to play together. Daddy and Ryan were giving Carson a bath the other day and I was able to capture this beautiful picture:
Ryan loves his brother so much and is such a wonderful helper!
Tonight we were playing hide-n-go-seek. Which is always fun! Especially when playing with a 3-yr old that hides and then yells, “Here I am!” before you can go seek him. It’s so funny! Then we have Ryan…when Chris and I seek we pretend we don’t know where he is. Which when playing with a 4-yr old, you can actually hear where he hides…doors closing, chairs moving…you know what it’s like if you’ve played with a preschooler. So we say, “Hmmm, I wonder where Ryan is? Is he in the closet? No. Is he under the table? No….” and so it goes. Well, it’s Ryan’s turn to seek. He finishes counting to 20 and skips 16 again :)…he looks right at me (I’m under the table) and says: Hmmm, I wonder where Mommy and Daddy are? Let me stress, that he looked right at me. It was too cute!
So Ryan gets a flashlight out, one of his favorite toys to play with and I get an idea. Daddy and AJ team up and Ryan and I are a team. We play Flashlight Hide-n-go-seek! With all the lights out one team hides and one team seeks. Ony the catch is you can only have the light to go searching for the other team. It may just be my new favorite game. I think it’s Ryan’s too!
So thirty-four years ago on a VERY snowy morning, my parents tied the knot. Debra Ann Lahrs became a Tworek. I love that after all these years, I can still see how in love with each other they are. Happy Anniversary, Mom & Dad! I love you!
just another day in parent-dise...
