Father's Day

I realized this year that Father's Day with two young kids is just plain different. Feeling bad that Eric had to make breakfast for our family and company while I fed Elliott, he ended up holding, bouncing and soothing a fussy Elliott the whole church service. I apologized at the end of the service and said, "what a way to start off Father's Day, shouldn't you be getting a break?" He said something to the effect that that's the perfect way to start off Father's day. I thought, that is why I am proud to be married to him and so appreciate his help and sacrifice for his family. He was overwhelmed with God's love and grace as he sat next to his father, holding his son. What a great way to start Father's Day!

Thanks Jamie, for the very cute outfit for Elliott;
it came just in time to look styling for his daddy.

This Father's Day we were blessed to have
Eric's Dad in town for the special day.

Audrey and Elliott with their grandparents, we keep trying to
get her to "smile normal" but with very little luck.

The girls proud to be wearing their matching dresses.
We did try to get a cute picture of their face, but this will just have to do.
