Here Comes the Sun...

Well, didn't intend to double post today, but I received an amazing gift from my mother-in-law, Eileen and I wanted to post a few pics of it. I figured I might as well post some of the pics from our afternoon sprinkler session, too.

"GO POTTY!!!" or "SURPRISE!!" I'm not really sure. They look alike.
"Watch this, Daddy!"
Always the voyeur. Mr. Aiden is all too often Mr. Naked.
What can I add to this? Instant classic.

Playing in the sprinklers all afternoon wears you out. Snack time.
Pathetic. Just pathetic, Hersch.
yummy.
Slop, Slop, Slop, slop.
Seriously. UGA who? Herschel's the man...or dawg.

This is a Christmas/Birthday/Father's day gift. Anyone who has visited our house has seen the two beautiful pieces Eileen has already done for me. She's an amazing artist. This is a rendition of two photos: the one on the left is during my Commissioning week from the Naval Academy. Pok (my grandpa) and I visited the Midway monument on the Yard (Naval Academy grounds). As you know, his brother, my great uncle, dan, performed ok in that battle, so it was an emotional day for all. Pok didn't cry much, but any time you got him talking about his big brother, the tears flowed. this was such a day. I think he probably stayed alive to see my graduation (he had cancer at the time) and this picture meant the world to both of us. the second picture is of Dan standing on his dive bomber with 219 rounds in it. he got hit a few times at Midway. Both are juxtaposed with a typical Graduation Day fly over from the Blue Angels. I'm so touched by the piece. It means the world to me and Eileen's work is just fantastic.


Well, the afternoon wore us out. Goodnight.
Slop, slop, slop, slop.

Sorry for the barrage but I really wanted to showcase Eileen's art. Unbelievable piece. Hope you enjoy your day.
