Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day! I know these two boys sure do LOVE their Daddy!

We have had a great day so far. We let Joel sleep in this morning before bombarding him with a homemade card that we drew this morning (complete with fire truck stickers and a ripped in areas where Harrison got his hands on it--it was very special! Ha!) and gifts from each of us. Hudson was so excited about giving Joel some Sperry's just like his; so much so that he spilled the beans a few days ago. For once, Joel's "selective hearing" came in handy as he claims he never heard Hudson say anything about it. I think he's just being nice because Hudson had a whole conversation with him about it! After gifts in bed and some rough housing (why do boys love this soooo much!?!?), we got ready and headed to church. We had a good lunch out and now the babies are napping and you would think that Joel would be relaxed on the couch watching the U.S. Open, but he's outside fixing our fence where our neighbor's tree busted through it (and came down in our yard) during the wind and storms last week. Poor thing, has to sweat on his own Father's Day! Good thing there's a steak dinner tonight!

I love this picture of Joel and Harrison!

We thought history might repeat itself with the stomach bug on Father's Day (I had it on Mother's Day this year), but it has stayed away from Joel and I so far. Hudson was up for several hours Thursday night throwing up. This was the first time that he has vomited multiple times and it was so sad. He was pitiful and was puny Friday and Saturday. Today, he is back to his old self and eating again. Harrison got it Friday night (coming out the other end--sorry, major TMI!). We were up with him all night Friday night, but he seemed ok Saturday when he woke up. I guess it was just a few hour thing--sure would have been nice to happen during the day as opposed to in the middle of the night. Two sleepless nights in a row is no fun! We all slept like a rock last night though and all feel good today.

Happy Father's Day to Big Daddy and Pops too! We celebrated with Big Daddy last Sunday night with a yummy dinner at Carrie's house. Carrie made the best coconut cake I have ever had. I didn't think I really liked coconut cake, but this one, wow. Sooooo good. There was only 7 sticks of butter in it. :) We are headed to celebrate with Pops later on tonight.

 

It has been a fun day celebrating! We are very thankful for all of our daddies in our lives!
