Happy Father's Day to the two best fathers I know...my own Dad, who sets the bar so high!, and my husband, who has not only given me three beautiful children, but is completely invested in this parenting journey with me!
In celebration of the men in our life, I made Ray an omelet (my first ever attempt!) which Brooklyn and Grayson delivered to him in bed. Then we got ready for church, I had a pregnancy hormone induced meltdown which scared everybody in the family, and we were on our way!
We had a wonderful time of worship and connection. I absolutely love looking at scripture through the filter of our absolutely epic story -- Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration. This is the winning formula that we find in all great storytelling mediums!
Jeffrey took us all to lunch at La Parilla, which was a really delicious and good time! Grayson and Brooklyn, despite being tired, were remarkably well behaved. Brooklyn and I played games with Grayson to keep him awake on the ride home. Fortunately he found them amusing rather than frustrating, so it worked!
At home, we went our separate ways. Grayson napped. I napped. Brooklyn (snuggled next to me - which I loved!) watched a movie, and Ray worked out in the basement. I felt much better after my nap. Ray left for work that evening, and mom and I took the kids up to the pool. It was super crowded with the "weekend" crowd (the teenagers and adults who really only come in the evenings or on the weekend, so we don't usually see them). But we had plenty of room to swim, so it wasn't too bad.
We planned on grilling ribs for dinner, but since we were all still pretty full from lunch, Dad took me to the store for some fruit and hummus and crackers. The kids had corn dogs and we just snacked.
The kids took a late, blue bath (it must have been 8:00pm by this point, and blue thanks to the "Color My Bath" tablets that Ashley gave Brooklyn). Grayson went right to bed and Brooklyn and I made dessert for everyone and watched Lazy Town. Strange show. Brooklyn did try a few of her "stay out of bed" tricks, but went down fairly easy. She was asleep in less than five minutes! I love summer time for the pool and the way it tires her out!!
Aside from the raging discomfort of my overstuffed and very heavy midsection, I have enjoyed a pleasant evening of TV, frozen pizza, and cheesecake, brought home from McAlisters by my favorite man. All in all, a very good day!
