Although it is a few days late, I want to honor my husband for his incredible job as a father of two! Since his father passed away and mine is not around, we spent the day just focused on him. We opened presents in the morning, went out to breakfast (sure, we were not able to go to our first or second choice, but we did get in at our third), spent a good amount of time and money at Lowe's (one of his favorite places), enjoyed a relaxing afternoon at home, and attended Life Group in the evening. It was a good day. Watching him as a daddy to our kids makes me love him even more as a husband. Whether he is making faces at Cole to get him to laugh or putting Mia's dress-up clothes on his head (only to have her say, in a frustrated manner, "No Daddy, it doesn't fit you"), he is an amazing father. One of my favorite times of each day is 8 pm when we all go upstairs. Each night, we alternate which kid we bathe. Once they are clean and Mia's teeth are brushed, we lay them both on a blanket in Cole's room. We lotion them up and put on their pajamas. After we read two books, we say our prayers and put Mia to bed. Then, I feed Cole and we put him to bed. It is always a team effort, and I love that time of the day with all four of us together, having fun. Mia gets extremely silly when she is tired, and she makes us laugh frequently. So, happy Father's Day to Daddy Pose! We couldn't be more blessed!!!

Mia has also learned all about dressing up (thanks to her cousins).
And she enjoys dancing around the house in interesting attire.
Chris and I celebrated our 4th anniversary with a fabulous Couples' Massage. We went to a Memorial Day picnic with our Life Group and had a great time. And I only have 2.5 more days of school until I am home with the kids!!! I can't wait!
