Father's Day Weekend

Julia, Aidan,

Thank you for making me a father. And thanks for letting me be your dad. 

I got just what I wanted: time with both of you and Mommy; and time with my Dad and our family too!

Saturday morning you both woke up SUPER early (like before 6 am!) I guess you were so excited that you didn't want to miss a minute of the weekend! So, around 7:45 I was going to go for a run, and Julia you asked to come with me on your bike...and then Aidan, you asked to come too.

Of course!




So while the weather was still crisp and cool, we headed out and zipped through the neighborhood and up to the elementary school playground, where you guys played and pretended and (after I did a few laps on the track) we did even more playing!













It was a brilliant way to start the weekend off right!

We ran some errands, hung out, played games, listened to music, did a little shopping, and soaked in the nice weather in our backyard...which was about to be changed forever.


On Sunday we all slept in...and then you both took turns helping me make pancakes. Then we went kayaking on White Rock Lake!



I've been itching to do this for a long time with you and Mommy. It's been quite a while...and it was totally worth it! We saw turtles and cranes and we raced and got wet and had so much fun!









The day continued with some fun-in-a-box, playing (and errands) with sleep masks, and drawing and playing games at home. 





Aidan, you worked really hard on this stencil art and gave it to me for fathers day "To Dad from Aidan227"



Then we met up with Mimi and Pops and Holden for special sushi dinner and bakery dessert happy fun times.








This was such an easy-going, no-stress fathers day weekend. But, to be fair-even though I know it's cheesy- pretty much every day is 'fathers day' when I'm with you! You guys always make me feel special and loved...and I always aim to return the favor. 

I love you to the moon and back.

Travelling.


Last night I flew to the surface of Mars in a rocket ship.
I journeyed to the wilds of Africa and befriended a fierce lion.
I hid in a desolate cave with only a flashlight, a blanket and an adventurer.
I swam under the sea, while a wiggling fish tickled my toes.
I am a father. My children are my passport.

It's beginning to look a lot like...

Baking Cookies...





Ornaments...

...presents gathering under the tree...


look closer...

...shipping boxes starting to gather...

...visiting the big man himself...
High Five!

Aidan asked Santa for Erases and a Bouncing Ball!





Colder weather...



...it's almost that time of year!
