Father's Day...

My kids have a wonderful Dad. He takes care of them, loves them, plays with them, sleeps with them, wipes their boogers and tears, takes them to the park or mountains or swimming... When Benjamin was born and home from the hospital, he would take him to give me a break. I would find him asleep on the couch with Ben cuddled on his tummy or on his chest. He did the same for when Hannah and Noah were born. Ben used to climb onto his Daddy's neck (while he was laying down on the floor) and bounce and bounce. It was hysterical and still brings us to hysterics when we talk about it. Hannah loves her Daddy and sometimes he is all she wants to be with. Noah crawls or nearly jumps out of my arms when his Daddy comes home from work...yes already at almost 8 months old. Our Daddy loves his family and his kids know that he would do anything for them. And they love him unconditionally.

Happy Father's Day!

So we decided to have a party for him and the other Dads in the family. Our kids LOVE parties and today was no exception. We made a big banner for Daddy, Grandpa and Grandad and hung it over the table for all to see. Marissa helped to decorate it when she got here. We had a potluck brunch at our house and I've decided that I love potlucks. My life is so much easier when everyone contributes to the meal. We have vegetarian and vegan members of the family as well as meat eaters and planning for everyone is difficult. So they bring what they want to contribute and everyone is happy. Tha party was a hit and all the Dads left with presents from their children and hearts filled with love from their family.
