Celebrating My Dear Dad – Birthday & World Cup Edition

This pic from one of my Dad’s milestone birthdays makes me smile. He was usually busy celebrating everyone else’s birthdays and special occasions but he also wasn’t shy about being in the spotlight and on center stage … That’s My Dad 

Celebrating My Dear Dad – World Cup Edition  In honor of my Dad, I had to watch Ecuador play in this year’s World Cup. My Dad would be so thrilled that I’ve been watching. He loved playing soccer as a child (with a makeshift soccer ball) and watching it on TV as an adult. He enjoyed filling me in about major games and loved when I actually watched some of them and we could talk about it. Viva Ecuador 

So lovely how the team would huddle and kneel down and point upward after each GOOOAAALLL! And yup, soccer is best watched en espanol
