happy father's day!



We had a great Father's Day weekend, with Grandma and Grandpa coming up to help us celebrate. On Saturday morning they arrived just in time to play with Britton before her nap. Then, while Britton slept, we all got ready for our family portrait session at Portrait Innovations. Well, except for the hub, who was getting a haircut and straight-razor shave at the Clubhouse Barbershop as an early Father's Day present. Does it count if he had to pay for it himself (from our joint account)? Anywho, we made it the photo place to be greeted by every family who ever decided to get a family portrait, an hour wait beyond our appointment time, and the air conditioning broken. Seriously. I was fuming. But we'd already gotten gussied up and come hell or high water those photos were getting taken!

After that debacle, we got Britton home for her nap, and I promptly crashed on the couch. When Britton got up she played in her crab pool for the first time. I think she's wary of it, but she loved splashing.





And the hub and Grandma and Grandpa went to look at a new car, and ended up getting one! It is a Honda Odyssey and if you have a good memory, you know they owned one before the truck. Well, some vehicles are too good to only own once! It is beautiful and fully loaded and I can't wait to take up the entire third row for a family trip.

This morning Grandma cooked breakfast and we opened presents. Britton got the hub and Grandpa cards and photo frames, complete with pictures of her. She also got her daddy a cast iron grill pan that he has been eyeing for a while now, and got Grandpa a Disney polo shirt that says "Grandpa"! We could have had his name embroidered, but "Grandpa" is just so much fun.








So, I think the hub enjoyed his first Father's Day as a father, and the first spent with his dad when both are fathers themselves.

And to my daddy, in a place where the marlin are plenty and the sun always shines, I miss you. I love you. Happy Father's Day.
