Happy Fathers day to all the Dads!!

Happy Fathers Day all of you Dads out there!

I have just been woken by my 2 beautiful kids and been
spoiled rotten by a breakfast in bed

Normally my body clock gets me up about 5ish but I was
up until 1am in the dome....so sleeping in can have
it's benefits

I hope you alll get treated well today Dads!

Fathers Day reminds me of my 2 baby girls when they were toddlers. They're in their mid to late 20s now, gone their seperate ways and although I see them regularly (and will today) I miss them something cronic when they were growing up at home with Mum and Dad.

It's a pity they have to grow up, hey Claude?

Mine 6yo gave me her gift this morning.

Happy Fathers Day!

Unfortunately for me Fathers Day in the USA is on a different day than the one "Down Under"...my family does not let me "double dip" but every year I try!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads !

I got spoiled this morning, my eight kids couldn't wait to give me hugs, kisses and my present.

You can imagine my surprise when I opened it to find a IYA09 Commemorative Coin set.

Had a quiet day @ home with my parents, nice to see my dad enjoy himself on Father's day, especially considering it'll probably be his last.

Happy fathers day to everyone else.

Dave

Had a fairly good day.
Started with chocolates in bed.
Apart from the various bits from the school stalls, I got the box set of Indiana Jones. Love these films
Then off to the AFL final between Collingwood & St Kilda with a ticket paid for by my 2 sons.
Would have been a better day if Collingwood had of won, but you can't have everything.

All in all a good day.
