Father's Day 2013

Father's Day is a wonderful day and gives me a reason to make a big deal about Bryce.  I told him just the other day how wonderful he is and he's got to be one of the best dads in our area.  We don't live close to either of our fathers and it sounds bad, but I like it that way right now.  I love it being all about Bryce.  Sure, if our dad's lived close, I'm sure we'd get together with them and share a meal and good times.  But for right now, from sun up to sun down, we get to spoil B and that makes me so happy.  He's so giving of his time for our family and extremely supportive and involved that spoiling him for one day doesn't even seem like enough.  Here's how our Father's Day of 2013 went.

We woke up and the kids gave B the cards they picked out for him.  Each of the kids (the older 3) picked out cards for B.  R's was a cookie monster card with a sticker inside that he got to wear.  A chose a dinosaur card and W picked no other than Spongebob.  W's card included a SpongeBob pin that B wore along with his sticker.  We rushed out the door to make it to the 8:00 service at our church.  Worship at 8:00 and Sunday School at 9:15.  I had to nurse E for most of the service but I got to hear the last 10 minutes.  We had a wonderful Sunday School hour and met a new couple too.  We like there being an 8:00 service but I don't think it's going to last.  After church we met J/K/L/B at Champs for Father's Day lunch.  It was K's choice but we like Champs so we were happy.  Lunch was fun and yummy as usual.  B and K had been out late the night before on their movie date to see Star Trek.  B didn't get home until after midnight, but they had been planning it for a while.  After lunch we headed home for naps and rest before our evening activity.  B even took a nap which he usually doesn't do, so that's who I knew he was REALLY tired.

AJE was taking families to the Durham Bulls baseball game at 5 pm.  We loaded up our van and headed to Durham around 4:30.  We got to the stadium a little after 5, and I just fed E in the van while the older kids watched Lady & the Tramp.  We don't hang out with B's company much so we are trying to get more involved with them.  The previous weekend we had our baby shower for E so I remembered some of the people from the shower. The game was fun, but hot.  I had E in the sling and B took care of W.  R & A were really fine on their own for the most part.  We ate pizza and cotton candy :)  The Bulls won and after the game, the kids go to run the bases.  It was very cute.  We didn't get home until very late so there was no bath & no brushing teeth at the end of this night.  Just big kisses for daddy!
