We, of course, celebrated Michael’s first Father’s Day today.
Nora’s first gift was letting him (us!) sleep in. Once we were up, though, she was ready to give him the present she had worked so hard on. (Well, with a little help from Mommy. But more on that gift tomorrow.)
She was very excited about the hot pink wrapping paper.
After her morning nap, she got dressed in a special shirt just for Daddy. And then we went to Grandma and Grandpa’s for dinner.
After we ate, Nora was happy to pose for lots of pics with Daddy. She was sure to ask him to model the hat she made for him at daycare on Friday–isn’t it pretty? It has her handprints all over it.
I always knew Michael would be a great father, but it’s wonderful to see him in action every day. I am so grateful that Nora has him in her life, and can’t wait to see how the father-daughter relationship continues to blossom between them. You know, before she disowns us during the teenage years.
Michael–Thank you for everything you do for Nora (and me). I’m so glad to have you as a partner in this whole parenthood gig! Happy Father’s Day!
About
I'm Heather. I'm 33 and have been married to Michael for seven years. Together, we have two beautiful little girls we love more than anything, and a miniature dachshund who drives us crazy. I'm a full-time working mom who has very little time for my own "stuff" these days, like home improvement, cooking/baking, cake decorating, and photography. Despite the team not making the playoffs since 1999, I'm STILL a Buffalo Bills fan, which I think speaks to my loyalty AND sense of humor. I can't wait to pick up the pace with travel again some day... you know, when we're done being ruled by tiny fists. Welcome to my blog.
