Mid-Summer Warrior

splatters fly up,
hot sun melts all around you,
still you fight and win

dogged determined,
no detail left uncovered,
flawless sacrifice

14 hours of hard labor,
and still gives a bedtime tale,
no wonder you're the dad



Picture taken at the arches on our trip.  Erik was carrying the boys back down the trail.

Evy is staying up late keeping his dad company while he finishes up some cleaning.  This is what I heard as I went off to bed.

Evy:  (shows Dad his 2nd piece of chocolate that Mom just handed him)
Dad:  Oh, wow!  You've had a lucky day.  You are eating chocolate, and you got to go to Chick-fil-A.
Evy:  And I get to hang out with YOU!  I love spending time with you, Dad.
