Today is my father-in-law's birthday!
OCTOBER 18th
He is 86 years young!
I always know how old he is because he is 70 years older than whatever Sarah is at the time. :)
She was only 6 months old at his 70th birthday party.
His name is Woodrow...
....and everybody calls him Woody.....
......except his grandkids.......
....who call him "Jiddee" which is Arabic for Grandpa.
He has 24 grandkids, six of which are mine.
He has a bunch of great-grandkids......a ball park figure might be 14, with 2 more on the way.......none of which are mine. :)
A few photos.........
Taken when Marty and his siblings were a lot younger :)
Those clothes and that hair reek of the seventies :)
