Tee it up!

Dave grew up golfing and is a really good golfer but as life with 3 kiddos has unfolded, he has not had much golf time for the past several years.  Anyway, as luck would have it, for years we belonged to country clubs and our boys had very little interest in golf.  I signed them up for lessons and camps but they were half hearted about it all.  Now, that we do not belong to a club, all 3 kids want to take it up!

Sunday was a beautiful day here, so we went to a park with a driving range...

Will immediately stepped up to help Kate as it was her first time...

Then Daddy gave her some pointers....

Harry has a great swing.  He is a lefty in baseball and golf.  And he needs bigger clubs:)

Will is a natural too.  He is going to begin lessons and hopes to play golf in high school..

Coach Dad...





And I loved watching Kate watch the boys....

So these 2 little boys were watching Kate golf and they kept asking Dave when it was their turn.  We think their parents were eating at a nearby restaurant.  Anyway, Dave gave both 5 year old boys a mini lesson and some balls to hit.  It was very sweet.  Dave is a patient man and a great teacher.

Speaking of Dave, he had a birthday last week.  Unfortunately, his beloved Godfather passed away and his funeral (out of town) was on Dave's birthday so we did not have a big celebration.  But we did try to celebrate him a bit when he got back. Dave is the most generous and loving Dad.  Last Sunday, our sermon was about being a humble servant and our whole family agreed that Dave is a great example of a humble servant.  He really is the glue that holds our family together.  He is a Dad who makes the lunches everyday, coaches teams, brings bouquets to recitals, tucks children in every night, pampers his wife and works hard all day.  He is a shining example of what a husband and father should be.  We are so lucky to have him.  We love you, Dave!  Happy belated Birthday!!!
