Father's Day

Father's Day this year included breakfast in bed after a little sleeping in for daddy.

(P.S. this picture was taken in 0.4 seconds and then I quickly grabbed the tray back because Muscles McGee there was shaking with the effort of keeping it stable.  Haha!)

The kids presented Craig with a card and a certificate for Craig and our friend Mike to go golfing at Fallen Timbers golf course, which Craig has never been to.  Eighteen holes plus cart and lunch!

Both kids decided to jump on the bed shortly after so Craig decided to bring breakfast down to the table instead.

Craig spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon working on his truck outside (by his own choice) and then in the afternoon, we went to Craig's parents house for our annual picnic/cookout.  I took a replica of last year's Father's Day picture again.  Might try this annually until little sister is too big or Will's head comes up too high.  :)

There was lots of trampoline jumping this day...

And I took a TON of pictures of the kids when they decided to actually give me some genuine smiles!!!  Almost unheard of most of the time!

Trampoline Duck Duck Goose.

I'm a sucker for watermelon eating pictures.

And Aunt Kelly brought over two fresh strawberry pies for dessert after dinner.  Soooo good.

It wasn't until late that I finally got over to see my dad after getting the kids home and to bed.  :(

But dad's and my favorite bonding time is our regular lunch dates at the Beirut restaurant right down from my work.  He meets me for lunch about once a month or so and we have our one-on-one time and catch-up convo over a split order of kafta sandwich, fatoosh and hummus.  

And at prayer time before bed this night, I told the kids I was going to see my daddy after tucking them in because I hadn't gotten to see him all day and I have a father to celebrate too.  I told them how blessed I am to have a father that loves me and my family very much.  And that I wanted to go give him a big hug and kiss and tell him I love him too.

Happy Fathers Day to all the wonderful men in my life.and my kids' lives.  You are so very loved and appreciated!
