Keep this a secret!!!
I have an idea for Dad on Father's Day this year. I know it is too early to be thinking about it in January but it might take all of us a couple of months to complete. I bought this really nice book a few years ago that has room for pictures and memories for dad. It is covered in brown velvet and has many pages to fill out. My idea is that each of the kids, fill out just a couple of pages. I have marked in the book who does what page. I will start it and then send it to Erica in UT, Debbie in AZ, Lisa in NV, Brett, Kay-Lynn, Jennifer, and Tiffany in OR. Each person should only have the book for about 2 weeks. Then, make sure the next person gets it and does it. It should reach Tiffy and Mom by May in time for them to finish it and wrap it for dad. I think Father's day is June 16th, but I'm not sure. I'm going to look for pictures of me and dad when I was a baby, baptism, father-daughter dances, and my wedding. If you don't want to put the original pictures in, then take them to Wal-mart and scan them and get color copies made. I will send a permanent marker that writes in the book without smudges. I think that Dad will love something that each of his kids put some time and effort into. Keep this a secret from Dad, so he is surprised.

I love the idea!! Great job for coming up with the idea, I know Dad will appreciate it, now we just have to be diligent in filling it out and sending it on :) My lips are sealed. How are you feeling? I can't quit thinking about those little babies, we're so excited for you. Take care of them and yourself. Love you, Debbie
Sounds like fun! Good job Shelly.
This family has a few procrastinators who will remain nameless so better get it going soon and nag the one you send it to and so on until they say they did it. And yes, he will love it!
