Fathers Day 2012

When Fathers Day actually arrived, I think it started in the best way possible for the father of a newborn... with a nice, long night's sleep and a wake-up past 9am.  Having a newborn is kind of counter to the idea of relaxation, but I tried to give Andy as much of a break as possible.

He took a trip outside by himself, which is something he rarely is able to do now.  I made him one of his favorite foods for dinner, something I haven't made since before we were married.  Lasagne.  It was really good.  Sure, I burned my wrist in the process, but it was nice to watch Andy and the family devour it.

Andy requested Coconut Cream Pie for dessert.  I bought one for him... that is a pie I have never before made, and I knew that I'd be lucky to get enough of a break from Macie to make just the lasagne.  I wasn't going to push my luck and end up with no dessert to give Andy on his Fathers Day.  Andy said that the pie was really good, and Charlie enjoyed it too.  Ephram takes after me and prefers not to eat things filled with coconut.

We gave Andy his ties, door hangers the kids made at the farmers market, a present Charlie made at school and a couple of cards.  His frame came in two days later and then we gave that to him too.

We love Andy so much.  He's the best dad I could wish for my children.
