Agree.. I met my dad when I was in my mid-30s.. I allowed him into my life, and he was a great grampa to my kids, but I'd never called anyone dad.. so it never felt "normal" to call even him, dad.. I called him by his name and he never pushed it. BUT when my son was getting married.. about 15 years of calling him by his name.. I just decided to call him dad. My stepmother noticed and was just so happy.. I'm sure my dad was happy to.. And I finally.. at age 52, I had a dad and called him dad. We never made a big deal about it, but that word "DAD" was an emotional big deal for both of us. He's passed now, but I know my dad lived me unconditionally, such a gift he gave me by just letting me get there on my own.
I am living in oregon but wanted to go to myrtle beach this year but maybe next year, I am an adoptee that got separated from my sibling group as a child, ended up with a fantastic forever family, God bless you.
Praying for little Bella, God Bless you all. Praying Bella is home soon and safe. Praying they fix the system. Sadly many stop fostering due to all the rules.
Im grateful shes at least been placed w another familiar family shes stayed w when Peter hasnt been able to take her places etc (restrivtions of foster) and Im holding on to faith she will be back soon.
Definitely, never hurts for them to know how to swim, whether they swim all the time in the future or not, at least they have the essentials in the back of their mind you just never know what they could end up in at some point in the future and could be the difference between life/death. People drown every day, even those who know how to swim....but not knowing at all just makes the situation worse. Easier for them to learn while they're young and make it more of an enjoyable somewhat play time, rather than being forced into it later on and not wanting to.
You can't leave us hanging like that. I'm glad to hear the boys are okay. That's a scary call no parent ever wants to get. I'm glad Luke and Isabella had a really wonderful day. Still praying fir expedited paperwork to get Bella back.
I'm so very happy to hear that Anthony and Zay are alright..You are a great dad and your kids had a great time..Please keep us up to date about Anthony and Zay and I hope that Bella comes home soon God Bless you and your family Peter ❤❤❤❤
Thank God the older boys are ok and no one involved in the accident was hurt..... it looks like such a nice time with you and your younger ones, you all look so happy. Last minute plans sometimes work out the best. God bless all, keep on having fun🎉.
Oh man that looked so fun and enjoyable. The view from the hotel balcony was breathtaking. How could you not bring your swimwear? lol. Thank God the young men are safe.
* * Awe..so sweet, them little faces.. going on an adventure with their daddy.. adorable.. and the puppy.. super cute.. (s)he could use a little hair trimming around his eyes tho Mr Peter.. so we can see that adorable face too. looks like a fun day.. Rain or shine they still have fun on adventures and special time with dad.
Of course they are involved in an accident when you are exhausted and hurs away. Glad they are okay. The love they have for you is obvious in that they called you when it happened. Something scary happened so they look to dad for advice and just to let him know what's going on. I hope the younger children got to enjoy another fun filled day. You're an awesome dad.
hopefully things have been restored back to normal. sorry for the scary ordeal. you are such a wonderful and unique person. best wishes to you and the kids.🌸🙏
I loved the packing checklist you gave the kids! Gives them choice and flexibility and encouraged making some productive positive choices (Specifically talking about the Book to read).
Really glad Peter that you and all your family share some of your life on social media. Peter you have a beautiful family. I pray that you all are safe and continue to share some of your life stories with all of us.
Oh goodness Peter, I am so sorry to hear the guys were in an accident!!! I join with all the others in thanking the Good Lord that they are alright!!! 🥲😇♥️🫂♥️😇🙌 I am glad you & the kids were able to get away for some fun! 🥳💯Take good care for now all of you, sending my love & prayers! 🙏🥰✨🕊️✨
OMG😱 thank the Lord they're ok. Yes I agree it's one news no parent wants to hear. Keep us posted Peter may God bless & be with y'all. Bye the way how is Bella, hope she's coming back home soon. We miss her.
Nice you enjoy at the beach...the children appreciate it! They Lear how enjoy Life! The teens.....omg!! you can't stay away one single day?As they are safe...all the rest will be solve!
GOOD FOR YOU, Peter, making sure they brought a GOOD book to read! A child's imagination could be so opened in a good book. And you are so right to take care of yourself, too, Peter, because, like you said, if you don't have a full cup yourself, you cannot give to the children. AND OH MY GOSH -- Oy, that's all you needed to hear about -- that Anthony and Zay had an accident. I hope it wasn't too bad!
Glad they are OK, hopefully if another vehicle was involved those passengers are also well . Anthony is a new driver and doing his best navigating many new responsibilities. I'm glad both young men had a " father" to call who was in their corner. That means everything to young people when they are scared. Doesn't mean a parent isn't disappointed but at the end of the day if all parties are OK all will be well . Truly ...I'm glad the boys called their Dad.
So nice to see the 3 of you enjoying a quick trip to Myrtle Beach 🏖️ Looks like the kids loved swimming in the pool and then the ocean too 😁🥰 You are such a good dad to take them away overnight, Peter - a nice memory for them 🏖️‼️ So sorry that the older 2 were in a car accident - hope it was just a fender bender and no one was hurt in either car 🙏🙏🙏 They are so lucky to have you to call 📱 Peter - shows they trust you ❤ Good luck 🍀👍 🙏
Our school secretary always had a honey bun and a diet Pepsi on her desk ready for her break time every day. She worked for the school system for many years, up until her retirement, which was actually later than traditional retirement age. The honey bun-diet Pepsi combo didn't hurt her. She used the same logic as Isabella, balancing the zero sugar beverage against that sweet honey bun. It's a good thing that Isabella is seeking a level of balance or moderation. It shows self-discipline. Smart girl.
Just be sure she takes good care of her teeth. Tell she only gets on set for free. If she doesn't take care of them, repair and replacements are expensive.
Love your videos and your beautiful blessed family. May God keep you safe and happy. Do consider taking the dogs out with the kids. Wherever/whenever possible. They will enjoy the outing.
Your children are so blessed to have you as their father, as you are as well having loving children. Your view is breathtaking! Accidents happen especially with new drivers so buckle up buttercup as you just might be in for a few more of those calls before as is said & done.
You are an awesome dad Peter! Great road trip - love seeing each of your videos! Glad to hear you say that Anthony and Zay are ok. Looking for your follow up video
Please tell Anthony and Zay I'm sorry this happened to them. Also, tell them not to let this stop them from driving. I was in an accident when I was 16 and had my learners permit. Because of the accident, I lost interest in driving. I'm now 65 and never had a drivers license. When I was in my 40s I was told that I should have faced my fears and drove again.
Oh my Peter you’re leaving us on a Clift. 😔🙏 Either way we’re praying for both teens and you also, that’s the worse phone call a parent wants to get about any of their children.
I love music so with stress I will put on some scriptures about trusting God that really helps me a lot there’s beautiful music with scripture which really settles me down an trust in God
Please let us know soon on how the boys are doing from the car wreck really worried when you haven't heard nothing about it lately hope everything's okay and God bless you and your family I love watching you
I love how the children are dressed today 👼🧚♂️🏄♂️the beach is so sensational you are having some good fun there kids where is BELLA LIVE YOU ALL 🧜♀️🏄♂️🧜♀️🧚♂️🧜♀️⛲🏖️
It looked like the beach vacation was a lot of fun. I think the boys had a fender bender. I think Rafiki knew what you meant when you said, "No you can't come," and it made him feel disappointed.
Praying all is ok. SO Happy the boys are ok. Looks like you all had a great time on your mini vaca. I watch ALLLL your vids and they are ALL such a beautiful blessing.
Doesn’t matter if it is raining when you are in the pool! As upsetting as it is for all if no one is injured in the car there is no reason to worry and rush back. One little accident for a new driver can serve to make them better drivers in the future. No matter how many warnings you can give about being over confident and that accidents are the easiest things to be part of their accidents will still happen. Their insurance premiums will rise so they will be doubly careful driving in the future! Try not to worry.
Oh mi,Heyy guys,Watch all the time!!!! Really hope bella comes home soon!!! Question,the 3 younger 1's r all siblings?(Blood siblings) Anyways,Watchin/Writin from ontario,canada Love yu guys ❤❤❤❤
Yes the 3 young ones are blood related they have same biological parents. The oldest 2 as you know Peter adopted them. Bella’s parents are working on to get her back. Which I myself think that is sad cause she didn’t try with the older 2 kids. I myself Pray that Peter will get to adopt Bella. Keep all 3 together in a loving caring stable home with Peter. 💜🙏❤️
I pray for a favorable outcome with this situation. Bella needs to remain in the loving home she enjoyed with Peter and her siblings. Lord answer our prayer for sweet Bella.
@@maryr7103 He's talking about Luke and Isabella. Those 2 and Bella are siblings. Anthony and Zay are from totally different families as well, not related to each other or to the 3 younger kids. Zay was never adopted, from what I recall he didn't want to be, he wanted to leave the option open for going back to his own family, which I don't think worked out either....although I don't think Zay really minds either way, he knows he's loved, and he knows he's got a place to go and people who love him.
The way Isabella and Luke doesn’t just say Dad but Daddy. My heart just melted ❤❤❤ That is a secure name when you know your Dad loves you.
Agree.. I met my dad when I was in my mid-30s.. I allowed him into my life, and he was a great grampa to my kids, but I'd never called anyone dad.. so it never felt "normal" to call even him, dad..

He's passed now, but I know my dad lived me unconditionally, such a gift he gave me by just letting me get there on my own.
It’s cool to have a Dad that likes to do Fun things 🎉🎉
Peter we can see the love and trust these kids have for their family with you.❤😊.
Peter you’re a great daddy. Your children love you. I pray Anthony and Zay are fine.
I am living in oregon but wanted to go to myrtle beach this year but maybe next year, I am an adoptee that got separated from my sibling group as a child, ended up with a fantastic forever family, God bless you.
Relief the older boys are ok!!!!
Praise God.
Your such a wonderful Dad Peter. Your children are so blessed to have you🥰✝️🙏🏻
Praying for little Bella, God Bless you all. Praying Bella is home soon and safe. Praying they fix the system. Sadly many stop fostering due to all the rules.
Im grateful shes at least been placed w another familiar family shes stayed w when Peter hasnt been able to take her places etc (restrivtions of foster) and Im holding on to faith she will be back soon.
Swimming lessons are paying off. So glad to see you all enjoying your time away.
Definitely, never hurts for them to know how to swim, whether they swim all the time in the future or not, at least they have the essentials in the back of their mind you just never know what they could end up in at some point in the future and could be the difference between life/death.

Easier for them to learn while they're young and make it more of an enjoyable somewhat play time, rather than being forced into it later on and not wanting to.
Just got back from our annual trip to Myrtle Beach. Family of eight, so much to do there.
Best Dad ever 🥰
I am just have tears in my eyes when I see the love in your family !!! God bless you all richly!!!
They love you so much. Such a good dad.
You can't leave us hanging like that. I'm glad to hear the boys are okay. That's a scary call no parent ever wants to get. I'm glad Luke and Isabella had a really wonderful day. Still praying fir expedited paperwork to get Bella back.
I'm so very happy to hear that Anthony and Zay are alright..You are a great dad and your kids had a great time..Please keep us up to date about Anthony and Zay and I hope that Bella comes home soon
God Bless you and your family Peter ❤❤❤❤
I can't believe you've left us hanging like that. I'm so glad their both ok
I know, I was almost freaking out!
Thank God the older boys are ok and no one involved in the accident was hurt..... it looks like such a nice time with you and your younger ones, you all look so happy. Last minute plans sometimes work out the best. God bless all, keep on having fun🎉.
You giving your children this is so terrific.
All of you are so blessed to have each other!
Oh man that looked so fun and enjoyable. The view from the hotel balcony was breathtaking. How could you not bring your swimwear? lol. Thank God the young men are safe.
We went to Myrtle Beach when I was little so many years ago. Good memories.
The children will always remember it. ♥️
Glad the boys are safe ❤️
Yes ❤ my father would take us there in the Summer and it's great memories and very beautiful.
So glad the guys are okay! Thank you for taking us along for the day! Reminded me of vacations past. Now yearning for a new memory!
So glad the boys are ok

One. One set of teeth for free. Autocorrect got me again.
Peter you are a great dad❤❤❤
Hope you enjoyed it. You deserve a mini vacation.
Love your videos and your beautiful blessed family. May God keep you safe and happy.
Do consider taking the dogs out with the kids. Wherever/whenever possible. They will enjoy the outing.

This happened to me. Got my license but don't drive. Uber/Lyft changed my life.
Looks so fun ❤❤❤Prayers for all.🙏🙏🏾
Thanks for sharing peter you are an awesome father 💜💙💙😊

We are going to North Myrtle Beach for a quick trip too. So fun!
How wonderful you could go to Myrtle Beach which tied some of the past with the present; at least sort'a, kind'a.
Oh my Peter you’re leaving us on a Clift. 😔🙏
Either way we’re praying for both teens and you also, that’s the worse phone call a parent wants to get about any of their children.

It looked like the beach vacation was a lot of fun. I think the boys had a fender bender. I think Rafiki knew what you meant when you said, "No you can't come," and it made him feel disappointed.
Hope your kids are ok that is a scary call 📞 prayers 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
I had no idea you are in Charlotte! I'm south of Asheville in Hendersonville. Hey there!😊

Go Pack Go!
Hope they are both ok!

I hope the accident was nothing too serious. Very scarry stuff. Hope the boys are okay😢
Praying all is ok. SO Happy the boys are ok. Looks like you all had a great time on your mini vaca. I watch ALLLL your vids and they are ALL such a beautiful blessing.
Glad the teens are okay. So excited to see that the Gay Dolphin is still on the Boardwalk at Myrtle Beach.
Go Pack go!! How did you become a packer fan?
The scariest 30 seconds of your life til you hear "were ok"
Hope Zay & Anthony are ok. Why do these things always happen at the worst time? Enjoy FL...I'm a few hundred miles south of u by Ft. Lauderdale
I hope everything is okay! We care!
Doesn’t matter if it is raining when you are in the pool!

I had a few accidents and my Dad always stopped & dropped for me!
You are a great daddy
Often happens when parent/s are out of town. It can be frightening for you but all will be ok.
💙
I’m jealous ❤️☺️
Why were they out so late? Those boys...glad they are ok. P.s. i forget they are both adults.
😂
