Happy Father's Day

To the best dad in the world. I'm so thankful to J every day for being the amazing person and parent he is.
We had a nice Father's Day. When he woke up, he got some goodies the kids made at day care--RUS made an "All-Star Dad" book full of red, white, and blue artwork and R made him a shoe card with her footprint inside, decorated a baby food jar with glitter and filled it with candy, and made a mold of her hand out of sand. She helped me fill a bin of Legos from the Lego store and she and I built a scorpion beach house for J with them. I also put together a Shutterfly calendar for J and had R fill out an "All About Dad" sheet.
ADDED: If you look carefully at the calendar in the picture you'll see a big mistake I made right on the front cover. Oops.

Here's a better shot of the "All About Dad" sheet.
It's hard to read, so here's the full text:

My Dad's Name is: Jamie
He is 50 feet and 2 inches tall.
He is 55 years old.
He weighs 102 pounds.
His favorite thing to do is: He likes to play with bad guys and he likes to play with little people.
He likes to go to: (she didn't want to answer this question so we left it blank)
His favorite food is: Burritos
My favorite thing about my dad is: I love him.
Love, R

We took the kids to a park later in the day, and then his parents came over for homemade pizza for dinner that evening.It was really hard to get pictures of the kids! R in particular ran away from the camera every time I pulled it out, and RUS barely stopped moving for even a minute. He was in love with all the things he could do on this particular play structure, including hanging and swinging--for a long time--from this bar.

Two Generations of Dads on Father's Day

J is wearing one of his Father's Day gifts in this picture--a red t-shirt from my grandma that R and RUS helped me decorate. I wrote "DAD #1" on it and R added some other embellishments with fabric paint leftover from her birthday party. Grampie received a photo mug he'd been wanting with both kids on it-- he already had one with just R but it was about time he had one with RUS on it, too.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to J, Dad/Grandpa, Dad/Grampy, PopPop, A, and JW!

and a special happy FIRST Father's Day to Surf!

Hope you all have wonderful, relaxing, well-earned celebrations today.

R and I got up together this morning, and after we both had our oatmeal, R made a card for J. When J woke up, he made some pancakes for everyone. R and I, hobbit-style, had second breakfast.

R wore a special J shirt this morning, and I even gave her mini-pigtails.
(note the special J shirt-- it's actually a shirt he had when he was little. That's J at about 4 or 5 years old).

We went for a hike

and then R ran all over the playground at the end of our hike.
(I love how in this picture you can see J right next to the baby-J picture on R's shirt).

Now R is napping, I'm packing (er, writing a blog post), and J is doing work.
