Dad's Surprise

Bill, is a wonderful dad. He comes up with some of the most unique ways to express his love to his family. Tonight was one of those nights. Everyone was busy away from the house except him and Lydia, so he decided to surprise Emily. Emily loves the singer Josh Groban. She likes his music, his eyes, his curly hair, his wholesomeness, everything about him. Well I must agree he does have a great voice and his taste in songs are awesome. Bill and I first heard him when we went on our 10th anniversary outing. A group of people were playing a CD of his loud enough for us to enjoy it by a beautiful stream. The music just added to the beauty of the nature that surrounded us. Well Bill knowing this found a picture of Josh Groban on the Internet did some adjustments to it, created a screen, and made Emily t shirts with his face on it. I say shirts because it was a beautiful array of colored shirts with Josh Groban's face in the center of each one. Lydia of course wanted one, she can't be left out so he made one her size.

He had the shirts all laid out on her bed so that when she returned from the temple trip she would see them. Austin predicted before he went to bed that she would scream so loud in joy that she would wake up the neighbors. And that is pretty much what happened. Bill expressed to me how wonderful it is to see how much happiness a little thing like a shirt can bring. He said that in Wednesday evening so he was still basking in the joy.

Lydia and Emily both wore their shirts on Wednesday. I asked Lydia on the way home from the bus stop who was on her shirt she said she didn't know but her teacher had asked her that same question and she didn't know then either. I thought that was funny that she was wearing a shirt with someone face she didn't even know. Emily and Jessica's friend, having seen Emily's shirt t wanted one so Bill made Jessica and her friend a shirt the next day.
