Jed's description of John

He came up with this at school for the Dad's Day celebration. What's even better is that it's pretty accurate!  Priceless!

"My daddy's name is John Perkins. I think he's 36. He looks good when he wears his black shirt every day. I tell him to wach it but he doesn't. I know he's smart because he can jump very high in the sky on the trampoline. I know he loves me because he tickles me and says, "I love you Jed, bye" when he goes to work. Jed's advice to dad: You shouldn't tickle my armpits because it hurts."

 

 

Father's Day

We had a great day celebrating John! It started with a loud, chaotic breakfast that involved loud, hungry boys, waffles stuck to the waffle iron after I forgot to grease it, and bacon grease spilled on the floor. Just another day in the life for us. We just had to laugh, and John said that we would look back on times like that and wish for more. True! Then John decided he wanted to mow and take it easy at home. He let Eli and Jed wash his truck, which was a great idea. Then we watched nature shows during rest time and learned about sharks. To top it all off, John watched some of the NBA finals game with his boys. A perfect way to hang out with Dad! We are all thankful for the amazing Dad he is!

This is the collage of trucks and that Eli made John for Father's Day. If you know Eli and how much he loves trucks, you know this is a perfect way for him to show how much he loves his Dad.
