NYC July 2010

It's mi padre's birthday today!  My Daddy is another year older today but doesn't look it.  It seems us Ashley's wear our age very well.  I'm so grateful for my Daddy. He has incredible work ethic and integrity, is a great Papa, loves bringing all of his family together for face and heart time, has a deep and quiet love for God, and can't hum "Like a Virgin" even when he tries (yep, there's a story behind that - ha!).  I'm a clone of my Daddy in looks and actually in a lot of the Type A ways also.  Happiest Birthday Daddy, you are loved!
