What You Might Not Know About This Dad

1. After a long day at work, many-a times he meets us at the Arcade before going home.


2. He has his own recipe for French Toast and German Pancakes (the Caltons call it "David Eyre").


3. He is not afraid of loosing friends by lighting industrial fireworks in the middle of our caldisac.

4. His wife is obsessed with this scene, and has pictures of it from almost every vacation we've been on.

5. He taught his 3 year-old not to be afraid of the big waves.

6. These are the people he admires most.

7. He's totally okay with a grown man putting his hand on his knee, so long as it's "DingLi", whom he taught while on his mission over 10 years ago in Australia.

8. His wife might be diagnosed with OCD.... hmmmm, and has this picture from almost every vacation too.

9. Has no shame in taking a picture next to a walrus with his 5 year old.

10. Or to be seen on the back of a kiddy ride, taking very seriously his duty to be the horn-honker.

11...aaahhhh, there's the picture again, now where was I?...

12. And again.

13. Once again, no shame. Things I would have never guessed about him when we were dating... lol

14. This picture makes me misty. Tanner fell off a swing, and started to cry. I had the camera, and said to Tim "quick! Get him back up on the swing, or he'll develop a phobia of the swing". Tim agreed, scooped him back up on to the swing. Here is Tim kissing Tanner's little head while swinging him slowly.

15. He is the family camel/horse.

16. He's very proud of his man-sized tricycle. And keeps a mental spreadsheet of how much money he's saved on cab/gas fees by using this electric beast.

17. A promise is a promise. Here he's woken Hunter at midnight to play Wii, b/c he promised they'd play when he got home.

18. I know two little boys who wanna be nothing but just like him.

19. This doesn't happen often, but when it does, I love it.

20. He's proud of his 'church ball' wounds. This is after he let a Chinese man at a hair salon have a go (mini-operation) at it with his little tool kit. LOL!

21. Loves to go out for treats. Especially the Chinese version of starburst "Hi-Chews".

22. But if you asked him who he really was... he'd probably describe himself as something like what you see in this above picture.

23. And I'd probably confirm that.

24. Happy Father's Day Tim, and Happy 7th Anniversary. I love you more than a 'bunch of pigs' (inside joke derived from my mom's poem "I Love You Little I Love You Big").
