Watch It Grow

We wanted a small garden this year.  We've tried in the past but nothing ever really worked.  Sometimes it was because we forgot about the plants and sometimes the timing was just off.  We got off to a late start this year but so far things are looking pretty good.  We're enjoying checking on our garden every day to look for changes.  It's currently growing in our sunroom/playroom but we will probably be making the move outside this weekend.

Happy Father's Day!!

I'm blessed to have two wonderful Daddy's in my life.  The first is my Daddy!!!  He's taught me a lot about a lot of things throughout my life and I am so blessed to say I am still learning from him.  One of the best things about my dad is that he's not afraid to say he's still learning himself.  He knows he's not perfect and isn't afraid to keep trying and improving every day (even though he's great the way he is)!  Here's a picture of us from my wedding day...

I LOVE YOU, DADDY!!!

 

The second is the father of my two girls.  From day 1 I couldn't have asked for a better man to help me raise our girls.  From the VERY beginning he has changed diapers, burped the baby, brought me anything I needed when nursing.  He plays with them, disciplines the oldest when needed, makes them laugh, and LOVES them so so much.  He does just as much as I do with and for the girls and I just want him to know that I realize just how blessed I am!!!  There are a lot of men that don't jump in, poopy diapers and all, to help out but he does every.day!!!

Your 3 girls love you VERY much!!

Daddy can add COLOR , too!!!

Lately our oldest daughter is really hating to have to say goodbye to Daddy on mornings he has to go to work. I think Daddy equally hates AND loves to hear her say, "Daddy, don't go. Please stay with us!!" He hates she's so upset but loves that she misses him so much. I can't say I blame him...sometimes I feel she only gets tired of me and never misses me :-P
During dinner we've started casually counting down the days until Daddy gets to stay home with us for TWO WHOLE DAYS!!! on the weekends. It's fun and I feel like we're teaching her some mathematics in the process. I love to see her giant smile when she knows the weekend is getting close.

Here are a few pictures from how Daddy added a little color to a normal Saturday morning...

"Mommy, look at me!!"

Adding some FLAVOR.

They were delicious!!
