“Are These The Good Times, Dad?”

Saturday Snap – Happy Sixth Birthday, Pace!

Shea and her first baby on his sixth birthday… (Well, the actual day is tomorrow but the party’s today which is causing a bit of stress for Pace – “But if my birth day’s tomorrow, how can we have the party today???”)

Dying Man’s Wish – Leave $500 Tip on a Pizza Order
