Started off the morning by giving Eric his cards and presents in bed
then we stayed in bed, all snuggled up to watch Toy Story (Kates first time seeing it).
Rolled out of bed around 9:30
Cooked breakfast burritos and enjoyed a relaxing breakfast on our patio
Headed to the swimming pool...Dads even got in free!
Lounged in the sun and splashed in the water
A quick visit to Erics parents
then enjoyed a quiet BBQ at home..loving our time together in our backyard. On the menu per Eric's request...Grilled Brats, Chicken shiskabobs (for me...not a brat fan), fresh grilled veggies (squash, zuccini, asparagus, and rosemary roasted potatoes) and fresh fruit. Yumm...Our favorite kind of summer dinner. We love grilling fresh veggies....Isn't summer simply fantastic!!! We even had fresh flowers from the farmers market to add to our table.
Eric set up Kates water table...she loves it, but for some reason has decided that being totally naki..makes playing in the water soo much better. Oh how this child loves to run around the backyard naked. I really do try and keep clothes on her..but sometimes it is just a losing battle. I guess it's ok when we don't have company right??? haha
After getting Kate in bed...Eric and I snuggled in bed with some chocolate pie and a movie.
Simply put...it was a heavenly day. We enjoyed every minute of it.
My dearest hubby....Thank you for being the man you are. You are an incredible husband and Father. You give so much of yourself, willingly..without complaint..you are always so helpful, patient, kind, loving, hard working..and fun. Seeing you as a father makes me love you more than I thought possible. Kate absolutely adores you and I can't wait to see you with our new little one. We love you and are so blessed to have you.
Some of my favorite "Daddy" moments:
Listening to you and Kate carrying on full conversations. She loves telling you all about her day.
Watching Kate's eyes light up when she hears the garage door...and runs to greet you at the door. You are so good to always play with her right after getting home from work. She never even lets you take off your shoes or get your jacket off before she is begging you to play. You always play with her right after walking in the door..no matter how tired you are.
Coming home from work to see all the fun games or projects you two have done
Hearing Kate say "I can fix it" as she knows just what to do from watching you fix everything
Coming home from work to find out Kate had the stomach flu...at first I was upset you didn't call me...but when I got home and you had washed the car seat, cleaned the carpet, washed several loads of puked on clothes..yours and hers included, given her a bath, and had dinner ready for me...and as I walked in the door (stressed that my baby was sick)..found you rocking her..I knew you could handle things in my absence. What a Dad!!
Seeing you and Kate snuggle while wathcing movies.
Watching Kate jam to your music
Im so glad we had a whole day together just to honor you and the wonderful Dad you are!!!
