Father's Day

Seth's Father's Day began in the beautiful mountains of McCall, Idaho where we were vacationing with many of our close friends from college.

I had been practically bursting with excitement to give him his gifts so as soon as everyone was awake and assembled on the queen size poster bed in our room, I produced the previously prepared gift bag. "Happy Daddy Day," quoted Benjamin, with some prompting. First Seth pulled out a framed 8x10 print, a collage featuring 12 pictures of Daddy and Talia from her birth to recently. The caption at the bottom of the print read, "Daddy, a Daughter's First Love." From Benjamin, Seth received 2 black t-shirts with white lettering: one size 2T reading, "Little Guy" and one adult medium reading, "Big Guy." I think he was slightly embarressed by the thought of wearing them, but nevertheless father & son soon graced the breakfast table in their new garb. (By the way, in a shameless plug for my very very part-time side business: I made the shirts if anyone is interested.)

We spent the rest of the day saying goodbye to some friends and soaking in our remaining time with the rest. That evening Seth got to enjoy a night off from Daddy duties as he went to watch "the game" with the guys--whatever that means. :)

(This post doubles as an answer to the "Something Good" topic "Honoring Your Man," which prompted, "tell us how you honored your husband last Sunday for Father's Day.")
