This past weekend all of the siblings, minus Austin in Fiji surprised Daddy by coming home to celebrate his 60th birthday.  He was in a stupor wandering around trying to figure out what he had missed.  There was no yell of surprise, everyone just showed up at the same time and acted like he should know what we were there for.  It was great.  If you know Daddy, it is rare that he is speechless.  He finally figured it out after we watched the video of his life and we gave him the book of memories that had been complied by his wife, all of his children, grand kids, his parents, a cousin, an aunt and even some of his siblings.  Jeff thought that it was impressive and very similar to what they often see at the funeral home minus the death date.  lol!  It was a beautiful weekend that was enjoyed by all.  As I got in my van to go home on Monday afternoon I chuckled and told him to watch his back, to which he replied, "that was a terrible thing to do to an old guy"  That is what he says when he is having trouble putting thoughts and feelings in to words.  That's Daddy.  We loved every minute of it.  We love you Dad and hope there are many birthdays to come.
