a fun trip to city park

Last week we met Justin at City Park during his lunch break and let the kids do some of the rides. It was nice to see Daddy in the middle of the day and to watch the kids enjoy a special treat.

look at this boy!

Keepin' it real on Father's Day

Well today sucked. Sorry if that's harsh, but to describe it any other way wouldn't be honest. It was a little hard to acknowledge other father's who were still "here". I found myself jealous, feeling like it's just "not fair". I want my kids to still have their grandpa. So they day started off with Justin getting up early and riding out to get a latte and some eggs so I could make his favorite oat scones. I felt pretty slack. After Justin came home I was cleaning up the kitchen, because I had left it a mess the night before. I reached under the sink to get the dishwasher detergent and noticed lots of water. There was a leak and a stench! Then I noticed water coming out from the other side of the island onto the floor. Oh what a nice was to start Father's Day. It felt appropriate this year though. My "jack-of-all-trades" hubby became a plumber for the day and replaced all of the pipes under the kitchen sink. I told him he got a "re-do" on Father's Day. Below is a picture of the card Isaiah made for Justin. I told him how to spell the words and he wrote everything himself! (it says "I love you Daddy") I am so proud of him! He's such an excited learner.
