As I told you before, my Dad moved away a few months ago and I hardly ever see him anymore. Well, since this Sunday was Father's Day, I figured there was no better time to go see him. The entire family went to see him, actually!

Growing up, my Mom used to tell me, "you think you're Daddy hung the moon". My parents were divorced and I'm sure her saying that wasn't always a good thing, but I didn't know the difference. I'm sure she couldn't have meant it to be too terrible! The truth was, I did think he hung the moon. He was never wrong in my eyes and I loved him dearly! As it turns out, I still feel sort of the same now, at age 26! He still hung the moon, and I love him dearly...but, as I've gotten older I have figured out that, on occasion, he is wrong. Sorry Dad ;)

Anyway, on with the story. When we got to Dad's house, he had something extra special for his favorite little man...a swimming pool! And guess what...Gage loved it!

I have never seen a 16 Month old that loves to have water splashed in his face so much!

Are you ready, Mom? Ready...

get set...

GO! The water takes his breathe every time. But he loves it!

We spent the hottest part of the day playing inside. What is it with kids being so fascinated with shoes that are way too big for them? I don't know, but it sure was cute watching him play with them!

Until next time, here's a little goodbye kiss for you!

Happy Father's Day to all the special Daddy's out there!

Happy Father's Day

This was Michael's first Father's Day, and I think it was a good one! We had a pretty busy day. We went to eat lunch with my Dad this morning, spent most of the afternoon with him, and went to see Michael's dad for dinner! It was a busy, but quite relaxing day. It is so much easier when there are only 2 places to go for a holiday rather than 4! The day is so much more enjoyable that way!

Daddy and Gage went for Gage's first real swim tonight at Big Daddy's house. He has always loved his baths so much, but we were afraid the swimming pool would be too much...we were wrong! He LOVED the pool! Hopefully he continues to love it, because I'm sure we will be spending lots of time there in the summertime!




Michael sat him on my feet and he rode on my feet like a pony. He thought that was the funniest thing! Gosh...I could just eat him up!!!


Happy Father's Day Michael! Gage and I are so happy to be able to spend our lives with you! You are so good to us, and we appreciate all the love you show us! You're the best Daddy ever!!! We hope you're first Father's Day was a great one, and we are looking forward to many more! We love you!!!!!
