Today, we celebrated the fathers in our lives. We started the morning by surprising Brady in bed with cards and an Electronic Slide Caliper (whatever that is...). He was completely shocked at the gift (thanks to his wonderful dad for giving me the guidance to get him exactly what he wanted/needed!), and enjoyed the kid-selected cards. Then, we had pancakes and strawberries, which is always a delight. We rounded out the morning with church, and then headed up to my parents' house. The afternoon was spent enjoying delicious barbecued hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, potato salad, deviled eggs, chocolate cake, and lemon meringue pie. Yummy! The kids all played with their cousins, and the grown-ups visited. Charlie gave Jimmy a run for his money, which was entertaining to watch. :) All in all, it was a fabulous day!
When we got home, the kids watched "The Princess and the Frog" while I did laundry and Brady packed for his week of training in Michigan. Fun stuff. Now, all of the little people are in bed, and Brady and I are getting ready to watch a movie together. Having him home for two days has been wonderful and relaxing. I'm definitely going to miss him while he's gone for the week...it's been awhile since we've been apart for this long...I have lots planned for the kids and I to do, so hopefully, the week will go by quickly. Fingers crossed...
While I had intended to post a few pictures from our day today, I really didn't take many. I guess we were all too caught up in the chatting...Brady did take a few pictures of the garden, though. Perhaps I will post those tomorrow.
Until then...
