Today, my older son and I took my granddaughter (umm…his daughter) ice skating. It was heartwarming to watch him teach her; he was patient, encouraging, loving, and fun.
I believe that if more children could spend time with their fathers, our world would be a lot better place.
My younger son became a father two days ago, and I can’t wait to watch him teach and play with his daughter. I know that he too will be a patient, encouraging, loving and fun father.
2:28 PM: It’s slippery. It didn’t look slippery from behind the glass.
2:29 PM: Hi, I think I might like this…maybe…um, not so sure.
2:30 PM: This might be fun.
2:34 PM: This is awesome!
2:38 PM: I might be getting the hang of this.
2:54 PM: When my legs get tired, I can count on Daddy for fun!
3:22 PM: No need for the walker! I’ve got Daddy!
Ramblings 
Loved all of these, but the last one is my pick. The angle of the legs and the three ski boots together, and the father/daughter closeness, all of it is great. Congratulations on your third granddaughter, too! And Happy New Year, Mona!
Trish, I completely agree. The last one is my favorite also & I might just get it printed to give to my son. It does show their closeness, doesn’t it? And thank you on the 3rd granddaughter (you are quite observant). I don’t have a good picture of her to post yet, but I will … soon.
Beautiful, lovely and fun pictures that put a smile on my face. 🙂 Congratulations on a new granddaughter. I wish you a happy new year! 🙂
Inga, that is exactly what I want in my pictures … to elicit an emotional response … and you have given that to me. Your comment means a lot to me. I wish you a happy new year also.
And thanks for the congratulations. I am truly blessed.
Loved this.That beaming look of pride on your son’s face says it all about the father/daughter bond.
I think that pride and bond will help her be successful in life. Thank you.
What wonderful photos! Congrats on the new grandbaby… aren’t they just the best!!!
Thanks so much, Sandi. YES, grandkids are incredible.
You should be proud, not only of your photographs, but of the son you have raised! You really captured the bond between dad and daughter! Congrats on your third!
I am very proud of them, Jim. Thank you.
What a great bit of family photojournalism!
Thank you, Cris.
Great qualities to have in a father, husband, and as a man, “he was patient, encouraging, loving, and fun”, says the proud mama. Congratulations on the birth of your new grandchild.
You caught the essence. Thanks.
These are amazing moments you captured 🙂 Love them!
Thank you, Amanda
I’ve never seen an ice-skating training device like that before. Interesting.
I believe that if more children were able to spend more time with their parents, not juts daddy, the world would be a better place.
