I make one peach pie a year. You will love it. I promise. Because I am not amazing at baking many things, but I dominate a peach pie.
Its your Grandpa Sluiter's birthday today. And we'll celebrate it with you every August 9 with a peach pie. Because he didn't ever want birthday cake on his birthday. He wanted peach pie. Ever since he was little.
This is just one of the many things I will teach you about your Grandpa. And while you will never meet him in person, I know he's already watching over you while we wait to meet you. Because that's what Grandpas do. And I'm sure he's whispering naughty little things in your ears on how to drive your mommy crazy when you're little. Because that is something THAT Grandpa would do. He always had a smart mouth comment for everything, but you couldn't help but love him for it. It sort of runs in the family. I hope one of you sweet boys has a little bit of that spunk in you too. If your Grandpa has anything to do with it, you both will.
And one day, if you tell me you want something besides birthday cake on your birthday, I'll learn how to make it. And if you both want something different, I'll make both things.
Just like I did for your Grandpa.
*Happy birthday dad. Miss you more than words can say.

I know your Dad is watching over you, Dave and those adorable little boys in Ethiopia. He is keeping them safe until they get to you. I have this crazy feeling that both of your boys will LOVE peach pie:)
You know Pops is telling them all those things that will drive you nuts... so remember it isn't the boys' fault, it would be Pops. :)
Great post sis... oh, and you're allowed to share that pie too. :)
Love ya!
i am behind on reading blogs...but I love this post.
I always remember that your dad knew/knows ALL our kids before they even make it into the womb they will be born from. I truly believe he helped choose all our children for us.
He knows your boys as well as he knows Eddie...and the little one he helped choose for my tummy...and the ones he has waiting for cody and liz and you and dave and me and cort.
it's a special bond, I tell Eddie. And he and his cousins and siblings are so lucky.
Also? yes, peach pie, please. yum!
