Chirping from Chippewa Circle: Happy Father's Day!

Alan is on call today and tonight, and it's been a tough day for him. Lorelei and I got up with him this morning to see him off, and we ran up to the hospital tonight to bring him some supper. We sure miss him when he's gone! Since we knew Alan would be on call today, we celebrated Father's day yesterday. We spent the morning and early afternoon together as a family of three, and then, we headed down to McComb to spend some time with my dad and stepsisters and their families. We had a great time! A sales guy had given my dad 50 pounds of huge fresh shrimp, so we had a delicious shrimp boil.

Today, my sweet dad drove up from McComb, so I could go to church for the christening of our good friends' son. He kept Lorelei for me - all by himself. Then, he took us out for lunch. He did all of this on a day where we celebrate him... And then he drove to Louisiana to go to work... What a long day for him. I have such a generous and wonderful father. I'm very fortunate. I know you read the blog, Dad, and I want you to know how much I love you!

And my father-in-law and mother-in-law came and kept Lorelei on Friday night, so we could attend an anesthesia dinner. Mr. Torrey watched our first babies (the dogs), and Alan's mom watched the baby. It takes two people to keep everything under control around here! We are so grateful to them for driving over from Vicksburg on a Friday night to keep our girl. She has WONDERFUL grandparents.

Happy Father's Day to Alan, my dad, and Alan's dad! Alan and I have alot to live up to based on the examples of our fathers. We love you!
