Father's Day fun.

We turned Father's Day into a several day celebration this year, because, why not? Dave is definitely deserving, as are the rest of the dads in my life. Dave had the week prior to Father's Day off and he got a real taste for how wild life is as I worked two of the days and Sully was in camp, which meant there was lots of running around and coordinating. We also snuck in two date nights, back to back, which was really fun. One involved wine and sushi for us, and the second involved enchiladas and drinks with Maggie and Jeff and my parents (at the last minute). It was fun! We always wish we would do it more often, but are thankful for the times we do pull it off.

We made our annual mug for Dave with the kids' handprints on it. Its no small feat, but well worth the sweat and anxiety. The kids love to see their work come to life and it is so rewarding see the delight in Dave's eyes. Sully couldn't wait until Father's Day to present Dave with his gift, which was so sweet. Ill have to plan that better for next year ;).

We spent Saturday at our friends' cabin on Lake Brandt and had a blast. They have a similar family situation, so the chaos is double, but we managed just fine and look forward to doing it again. On Sunday, we celebrated with pancakes and naps and an afternoon swim followed by a picnic with my dad and most of my siblings. The kids are obsessed with their older cousins and had a great time.

We love daddy. We know how hard he works and are so grateful that he is a dedicated and involved man in our lives. The kids love it when he is home and crave his attention. Thanks, Dave, for being you and for providing such a loving home for me and our kids. xoxo
