Happy Father's Day!

We love our resident Dad.***

This morning at 7:30am he was pushing the double jogger in the annual Race Against Hate so that all four of us could participate (I would have been much slower if I'd been behind that thing for 3.1 miles!).

Then he and Christopher zipped over to the pool for the first of their summer Sunday morning swim classes with buddy Wally and his daddy. The post-swim account was enthusiastic and included descriptions of "lots of BIG jumps, Mama!"

We had a picnic lunch outside with a few ticklefests to show him how much we love him and then he took a well-deserved afternoon nap (as did Christopher, woo hoo!).

Post-snooze, we went to Hartigan's for his favorite summer treat: a Cookies 'n Cream milkshake. We all enjoyed frozen yummies... except for Colin, who was asleep on Daddy's back in the Ergo for the whole trip.

We finished up the afternoon with BBQ and waterplay in the backyard. He grilled up some veggies in his new grill basket. We're looking forward to using that a lot this summer.

Super Dad brought the day to a close with little boy baths, singing the ABC's for toothbrush time, and now I can hear him in the other room reading a book about trains and counting.

Gooooo Daddy! You're awesome, Babe. Can't imagine this wild ride alongside anyone else.


***Our non-resident (Grand)Dads rock, too! One is celebrating with BBQ. The other one got to spend a long weekend at the US Open with much of my extended family. Wish we were there... sniffle!
