Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Missing this one even more today…
but thankful I had the very best dad to grow up with. And very, very thankful my kids get the same!
We sure do love our sporty dad…
our campy dad…
our girl dad…
and our adventure dad!
We are so lucky we all get to grow up – and grow old! – with him!
We love you Robert! Happy Father’s Day!!
Look who’s here just in time for Mother’s Day! Our very favorite!
She’s getting to see all the sports…and she even got to power wash! Good things all around!
Happy Mother’s Day to GJ, Lulu, and me! 🙂
I love this picture of Daddy…
My mom out of town (a very rare event!) and Daddy had to pick me up from my two week stay at Camp Ozark. Neither of us were used to doing those type of things without Momma in charge, but we did our best. Well, our best wasn’t quite good enough! We made the 2 hour drive back to Little Rock and then realized my laundry bag with ALL of my clothes from camp was still in my cabin. Oh no! So, we drove all the way back to Mt. Ida, Arkansas and there was my laundry bag waiting on the camp porch. We got a good laugh out of it and took turns taking each other’s picture with the laundry bag!! I need to scan in my picture with it but I love this one of Daddy – still smiling after 4 hours back and forth in the car with another 2 hours still to go back home! We did our best, but we weren’t quite as good without Momma around. Just like now, we will do our best but we’ll never be quite as good without Daddy around. I’m going to miss him so much.
It’s been so nice this week to relive memories with old friends and share stories of Daddy with new friends that never got a chance to meet him. It’s hard and we are sad but we will be ok.
I have so many more pictures I want to share – so I’m going to do just that! Someday I’ll scan in every single picture that is in all those containers in Naples but, for now, these are some more of what I have.
Little Stevie Patterson…
Butterball!
Up, up and away!
Engagement party in Montgomery…
the race car!
Two of my very favorite people…
Birthday boy at Disney!
Gotta love my long high school hair! Just about as long as it is now!
Obviously the cars were washed by hand!
Little Stevie Patterson had quite the dance career on stage, or so I was told!
The bunny ears…
and the retaliation!
The three Maxwells!
Holding court with my Vandy girls!
Merry Christmas!
He did always love Christmas time!
Daddo and baby Samantha…
Good times at the Bass Pro!
Baby Delaney!
Rooooar!
Ferraris all around!
He was a really good golfer. I am not.
Steve the engineer!
Looking sharp at John’s house!
New car!
Just missing miss smiley Samantha!
I’m thinking this note was stuck in a package sent to me at college. I love this so much.
So many good memories, so many good times!
I could only include so many photos on Facebook and Instagram…but I can put as many as I want here! 🙂
Man, he was the very best.
