Father's Day

I have to brag a little about my cute Russ and the great father that he is to our two boys. He amazes me at his ability to make any situation fun. He can come up with a funny song at the drop of a hat and Cole will be singing it for days. He doesn't seem to get stressed out the way I do when he has both boys -- it seems so easy for him. Cole is his little buddy and loves to do anything with him - playing frisbee, shooting hoops, looking for sticks, etc. I am so thankful that Russ is the father of my children - a blessing that I didn't fully understand until we had children. I love you Russ -- Happy Father's Day!

I got Russ a shop vacuum for Father's Day. To some this may seem silly, but the fact that we now have a garage to use it in makes all the difference in the world! Russ can't wait to be able to get real "manly" gifts like tools and outdoor gear -- maybe when we're out of school, but for now a silly vacuum is exciting! Russ also got a pass to see Indiana Jones on the big screen, without a wife or kids to distract him from the movie. And since we are so new to the area and all Russ' friends are in various parts of the country, he went by himself.

We went on an early evening stroll after dinner and both boys fell asleep in the stroller. Church is in the middle of both of their naps, so they were especially tired. Aren't they cute when they are sleeping?!
