Tatay Fred

Who stayed up until all hours of night assembling Tates new ride?

Who spent the next day teaching the Dude how to master the new ride?

 FRED

The same Fred that makes Tate feel like he really is Spider Man,

The same Fred that pretty much rigged all the fun Filipino games for our cool Easter day events.
The same Fred that takes out the trash, does the dishes (when Jeane is not around),
 mops our floor and waters the garden...religiously.

Even though Tate is clearly the favored child around here with

the guards, the girls  don't seem to mind.

And,

they can usually sweet talk them into just about anything.

The kids call Fred, Tatay, which means father...they have picked up their limited tagalog
from hearing Jeane talk. 

Filipinos have ways that they greet each other out of respect. 

The kids have picked up on Tatay, Kuya (brother) and Ate (sister). 

So, here's to you-
 Tatay Fred!
