Ooh-Eee-Ooh-Ah-Ah

When Phil was a young tike, his Grandmom sewed all the Kerper boys these tiny overalls. As the story goes, lil' Phil fell in love with them and affectionately called them his "Ah-Ah". When he grew too big to wear them, he would still sleep with his precious ah-ah and caress the fabric and buttons while he sucked his thumb.

We went to visit with his parents today, and Grammy announced that she had found the ah-ah...the boys tried them on and looked quite smashing.

What a Father's Day - not only did we have breakfast in town, BBQ lunch with Poppy, and dinner with Pop-Pop - but to be reunited with a dear old friend is truly the ultimate gift. Luckily for Phil he has a beautiful wife now, but I won't be surprised if the ah-ah makes it way upstairs for some snuggling of its own.

Happy Father's Day!!

If I can wrestle them away from Phil, I might be able to make a pattern for an adult size pair for his birthday this year LOL
