Super Dad

If you are expecting to see a picture of Bill with a cape on flying around, you will not find it here. But you will see pictures of him with all his kids doing all the things that daddies do. Bill is a super dad in all the ordinary ways and that is why we love him. Bill was super dad to his four "big kids" when I first met him. When we were just friends he was always talking about his kids. I could tell before I even met his kids how much he loved them. Here is a picture of us with the "big kids" plus Sydney and also Laura's two kids (her and Brad now have three). I have piles of pictures of Bill with the kids but it was prior to our digital camera so they are not on my camera. I do not have a scanner so you will have to believe that I have lots of pictures.

We used to travel all over the state of Indiana and beyond to watch golf, basketball and volleyball. We thoroughly enjoyed watching all the kids activities and we miss those days. The only negative thing about us moving to North Carolina is that we do not get to see the kids as much as we want to.

Bill loves to let Sydney help him wash vehicles or work in the yard. Even though she slows him down.


Super dad doesn't mind having a tea party with his little girl.

Bill is willing to ride along on just about any kid ride that he will fit on, including this cow train.

I think Bill had as much fun as Sydney did on the water slide on vacation last summer. We will going back to the same place this summer and I am sure he will be on the slide again.

He will ride the carousel as many times as Sydney wants to go around and around and around!

Bill is the king of being silly. Anything to make one of the kids laugh. This is a Shirley dog puppet that Sydney received from Aunt Rita and Uncle Jeff (Shirley dog because it looks just like their dog Shirley).

Bill thoroughly enjoys feeding Griffin a bottle and he was the same with Sydney. In fact Bill was upset, sad when I changed her to a cup at 11 months because he treasured their time together in the morning while he fed her.

Super dad gives the best shoulder rides!

Bill tells the best bed time stories and Sydney knows how to get him to tell her story after story even though it is past her bed time. Sydney loves to sing songs and her favorite thing lately is to pick a topic and Bill will make up a song. He is way better at it than I am and he will sing song after song whereas I tend to stick to the schedule and not go over board.

He is always ready for an adventure, including a trip to Lazy 5 Ranch to feed the animals.

As much as Bill hates snow he will gladly go out with Sydney to play and attempt to build a snow man. I say attempt because a snowman was never built but it was not because of lack of effort, the snow just wasn't right.

The kids are all so blessed to have Bill as a dad, he is SUPER!
