I Heart Faces Week 24 (Lets' Hear it for the Boys!)

It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father.
Pope John XXIII


These week's them at I heart faces, is "Let's hear it for the Boys". The pictures have to be of guys. Check out all the hunky guys by pressing the button below.

Kids Entry

I took pictures of my kiddos in my husband's church clothes this week as a surprise for him for Father's Day. This was probably my favorite one. My husband is truly a wonderful father. He works full time, is going back to school and has a time consuming job at our church. Some how he always finds time to laugh, play and love with our children! So Happy Father's Day to all the great dads out there!


Adults Entry

I had to submit a picture of my Dad for the adults entry. He is such and inspirational man. I am so lucky that he is my Dad. He has been through so many trials in his life - taking care of my sick mother for 12 years, the death of my mother at 49 years old, numerous heart attacks and triple bipass surgery, diabetes, cancer, and complications from back surgery. Yet he continues to smile and endure life well. I love you Dad!

    I love your entry of your dad--maybe it's the story behind it? I can see that he's been through so much in his life. What an inspiration. Great shot, love that color, and you are blessed to have a dad like him! :)

    You could be describing my dad there. (except for the taking care of my mother part) He had triple bypass, colon cancer, diabetes, kidney failure...you name it. Because of him, I get to pretty much check the entire sheet at doctor's appointments. :) It's wonderful to have such a great father. I'm so sorry you lost your mother at such a young age. I can't even imagine.

    On to a lighter note...you son looks so cute in his daddy's clothes. What a great idea for a Father's Day gift!

    Cute little guy you have.

    What a clever idea for a photo shoot, using your husband's clothing! The result is marvelous. And the tribute to your father is a beautiful as the picture.
