Happy Birthday to my dear Dad



Oh I love my childhood photos - these are from the 70's in Africa. I just love how Dad is not only reading to us but he is in the cot with my sister and I (top picture) and he has hair :-) I have my father to thank for passing on his creativity among many other things. He is the most reliable, friendly, trustworthy, giving man you will ever meet (other than my husband;). It's a beautiful thing seeing him in action as a Grandfather, because when I see him love my daughter I get to imagine what he was like with me as a very small child. Dad is a sucker for babies, my youngest brother and I call him the baby-hog! Love you Dad, Happy Birthday!

I never knew you lived in Africa in your childhood!! Where abouts? We lived in Uganda for 1yr and loved it. Always a place in my heart for Africa and the people there. xo

They are such gorgeous photos. Funny, I can't remember your Dad having hair.. it's always been the comb-over.
