Because …
… he’s not all that internet savvy (by choice)
… he won’t know I’ve posted this unless someone calls and tells him … like the sister on the left end of this image (he’s the one on the trike btw).
… it really shouldn’t surprise him seeing as I’ve posted this nearly every year I’ve had a blog or online journal (since 2001)
… this is one of my favorite photos of him … (he’s the one in the center!)
… as well as this one
… because he likes to annoy me so I remember he still exists.
… because he has this thing about hats … if its not obvious by now.
… he loves his tractors …
… he wears John Deere caps despite the fact he’s always been a Massey Ferguson fanatic. (maybe that’s what I should get him for Christmas!)
… because he makes awesome Rice Krispies!
… because he gives me annoyed looks like this one when I try to take his picture.
… because he’s always been there for the important things in all of our lives.
… I can, what other reason do I need?
… its his birthday!
Happy Birthday Dad! I won’t share his age (not that he’s ashamed), but if you know how old I will soon be, add 33 to that and you’ll have it!
(PS … Happy Birthday to Hannah as well — y’all will remember her as the awesome rocker from earlier this year!)
PPS … please excuse the scan quality of the older images — I scanned them back in 1999-2001, when I didn’t realize 300dpi would have been a good thing, despite the ginormous (to me at the time) file sizes!
