Dad Doesn't Know...

...that I took these pictures! One of the joys of living up the hill from my parents is spying on them. :)

Although my dad doesn't normally do laundry, I did catch him in the act of taking some clothes off the line the other day. I happen to know that it was a busy day for my mother, and she had a lot of things to do before they left to attend a viewing that evening, so I can imagine her asking Dad, after he finished his work at the office and walked home, to please go out to the clothesline and bring in the laundry. (Actually, I don't know exactly how their conversation went because, although I do take pictures of them without them knowing, I do not have their house bugged!) :) I'm so grateful for a dad who is willing to lend a hand to help his family--even in situations that he doesn't usually find himself.

This isn't the first time he's helped out...then been photographed by his personal paparazzi...then had his picture posted on someone's blog! :)

~ if you look closely in this picture, you can actually see the clothespins flying out of my dad's hand into the laundry basket

  2. For all that want to know, I was not told to take down the clothes. It was because I saw the need and wanted to help my wife out. I am going to have to watch what I do because with a local paparrazzi I am never sure that I won't be discovered.

  3. Well, well, I'm even MORE proud of you, Dad! I love it when people see a need and help it!!! Can you give my sons lessons in this? :)

    (Actually, to be fair to Josiah, he's pretty good at this for a 5 year-old. Just this morning, David needed something that he couldn't reach and I was nursing Tobin so I couldn't get it. Josiah immediately offered to get it for him.)

    Anyway, way to go, Dad!!!

I'm honored that you've taken the time to peek into our life on Sylvan Drive...and even more, because you've decided to join the conversation. Thank you!
