Father's Day

This Father's Day was especially meaningful to me because I'd been without my other half for a couple of weeks. Once again, my parent's saved the day and flew him out for the weekend. Thanks! Having him around only made us miss him more when he left. He's such a cheerful guy. A great leader in our family. Gentle. Kind. The perfect kind of firm with the kids. He takes such good care of me and he reminds the kids (well, one in particular I'm sure you can guess who) not to hit me. It's nice having someone stick up for you. :o)

Ava was super excited about Father's Day this year. She was thinking and thinking about what to get dad. She came up with two really good ideas: a game, and an ipod. She decided to go with both. If you look closely she's made Dad an ipod with her favorite car game on the screen. She was pretty excited. She also thought she would give him the heart box she decorated with paint and stick on jewels you can see in the bottom left hand corner. I convinced her otherwise, but it's proof to what a selfless sweetie she is. She had so much fun decorating it and is still loving it here in NJ.
