I know, she doesn’t look like that anymore. But that is the way I remember her, back when I was a stay-at-home dad… before that was a thing… and the other dads made fun of me. I didn’t care. I was there for all the important stuff.

Now she is all grown up.

And she has style and grace and she is tough and smart. And maybe that is partly because I was there for all the important stuff.

And she is marrying a great guy. Everybody loved the wedding shower, except maybe our dog, who, as you can see, was stuck out in the backyard for most of it. Well, all the guys were sent away too, dog, so don’t feel too bad.

It was a weekend filled with love.

And we stuck Jessica’s fake eyelashes on Big Johnny, so… uh… yeah, that was fun.
