Whenever we go on a trip, my son and daughter always sing along with their Papa. My husband is a very happy person, he has a wonderful personality and with his loud voice, he is always at the center of a party. I beam with pride and ask the kids, "Didn't I choose the best papa for you! " they would laugh and say thanks mommy, "Papa knows everything!"
Time traces back to 1992, a month after I first met my future husband through work, he flew back to California, so we exchanged emails daily (sealed with a kiss) and talked on the phone whenever we had a chance. One day we had an annual meeting at Holiday Inn Lido Hotel in Beijing. While I was watching MTV and chatting with my man over the phone, a group of young ladies came on the screen. They were so fresh looking, and their voices were angelic! "Who are they?" I wondered. He asked me to describe them. "A short haired blonde, a red head, and one with curly long hair", then I started humming with the TV. He said " I bet you are watching Wilson Phillips, they are a rising new group, very popular right now!"
You see, the trio group of Wilson Phillips played an important role in my love story. With the first glimpse, they became my favorite singers! Guess what? He bought me all their cassettes, CDs and mailed to me the following week. On the days he wasn't around, the songs kept me company.
From wiki, "Wilson Phillips is an American vocal group consisting of Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson and Chynna Phillips. in 1990. Their debut single, "Hold On," hit No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, bumping Madonna's "Vogue" off the top spot!
You have probably heard of " the Beach Boys" and "the Mamas and the Papas" from the 1960s. That's when I say " like father like daughter", music talent runs in the family: Carnie and Wendy Wilson are daughters of Brian Wilson from the Beach boys; Chynna Phillips is a daughter of Michelle and John Phillips, from "the Mamas and the Papas"!

而且敢于为了这份音乐和体育天赋而付出。音乐总是能更快地打动人心^_^
多谢五哥,自己都不能相信已经过了那么多年。以前以为一直会喜欢最流行的音乐,后来慢慢不习惯“新潮儿”,老歌儿里藏着岁月的印记。
父亲节快乐,五哥嗓音很棒!
哈哈哈好像还是父亲比自己知道的多的时候多,父亲赢了!记得我姥爷老说,“不听老人言,吃亏在眼前。”
我和儿子讲过笑话。10岁时,觉得爸爸什么都知道。20岁时,觉得自己比爸爸知道的多。30岁时,觉得爸爸好象比自己知道的多。40岁时,觉得爸爸确实比自己知道的多。50岁时。。。
儿子回来住了一个月,现在旧金山。
是呀粉玫瑰,父亲是家里脊梁,父爱如山。雪儿和爸爸一聊就好几小时,大宝已经不信“爸爸什么都知道”哈哈。也是自己成长放飞的阶段。
这个日子也很思念我自己的父亲,天上人间永相念。暑假愉快,想着你的儿子也回家度假了。
亲爱的心姐,看到您说要搬迁,想您会很留恋现在的田园生活,池塘,树林,农场。也恭贺您早日安顿,乔迁之喜!
保重!我们会惦记着您,收拾物件悠着来,不要逞能累伤自己。心里想您要搬到加州我们做邻居!眼未见,心相连。愿大河宝宝有愉快的暑假(^.^)
顶一下,好爸爸比什么都强!
我要特别忙些日子,这个暑假恐怕没有什么时间泡网了。但心里想着你们。
上来就来看燕子假期遇见的鹿一大家子,还有美丽的雪儿在跟鹿交流:))
谢谢亲爱的松松妹妹,今天给先生念我写的,他哈哈大笑说这么好啊,因为我常常抱怨他呀,我说父亲节好好夸你几句。前些天大宝毕业party我看着后院杂草收拾不过来,心里那个着急,结果大家来了几十人都挺高兴,我说跟先生说杂草可以忽略不计了。
希望你们全家度过了愉快的周末,夫君有美好的父亲节(^.^)
祝福你们一家!
