Dinner for Papa

This February 2ND marked 6 years since my dad has been gone- WOW. wow. WOW. And I still miss him now more than ever. It was a lot harder this year as I moved away from my family and Jason had to work that afternoon. So it was just Claire and I for dinner that night. We made dads favorite, meatloaf. We had some fun while eating and took lots of pictures. Claire loves to look at you out of the corner of her eye, she just thinks it's funny.

One thing that my dad and I loved was pickles, especially the tiny ones and we would always fight over who the the smallest one. Now I have Claire to fight with over the pickles, she LOVES her pickles. So I bought a jar a tiny pickles and we enjoyed them with our dinner.
Jason got home from work right before bed time and brought a TJ's balloon with him so that we could send it to Papa. Claire gave it a kiss and it was off to see him. (If only it were that easy)
