Father's Day Weekend

We decided to do most of our celebrating on Saturday, since church activities fill up most of our Sunday - and it's pretty hard to do 'breakfast in bed' when you leave for church at 8:00 am!. We started the weekend with "making" and eating Breakfast in Bed with Daddy. You can see John's breakfast on the side table next to him (the girls helped me make him a smootie and cereal with strawberries and coffee) and the kids breakfast on the tray (cereal bars!) :). John's usually the first one up, so we had to tell him to go back to bed after we got up so that we could give him his breakfast in bed. FUN. Later on Saturday, we took John's Dad out to supper. We went to a Chinese buffet, and if you know my kids, they are pretty picky eaters, but we were able to find fresh fruit and ice cream - a special treat for a special day.

On Sunday, we went to church, then Katherine and John went to John's dad's place for a special Father's Day barbeque that they were having while the younger kids napped. Then John took Katherine swimming at the pool and we went to evening church. A very enjoyable weekend, weather and all!

The Lord has blessed me with a man that not only is a wonderful husband, but is a wonderful father to our kids. What more can I ask for in a man, that he love the Lord, love me, and love our kids? He loves to come home for lunch (and fortunately has a job that he can do that most days) and enjoys nothing more than spending time with us - whether it's watching a movie, swimming at the pool, running in the sprinkler, taking a nap, going to the zoo, or reading at bedtime (his personal favorite, I think). I love you, John, and the kids love you, too! Hope you had a Happy Father's Day!
