Father's Day

I am a bit late with this post, but it's an important one!

Brent's first Father's Day! A fun day spent together as a family. Brent's parent's came to visit for the day, too! Nice for Brent to spend Father's Day with his Dad. And Anna had her Daddy all day long.

Anna & Daddy

We started Father's Day morning off right....a take-out order of pancakes from The Original Pancake House down the street. Yum! Anna had her oatmeal and prunes and we had pancakes. We spent a nice morning at home .... sat on the screen porch for a while, played, and Anna took a little nap. Brent's parents arrived around lunch time and we had Jimmy John's subs. Anna was happy to see Grammy & Grampy!


Later, we were off to the park! We went to our Grosse Pointe Woods community park. We walked the walking trail and Anna snoozed for a bit in her stroller. It was a gorgeous day, sunny and warm. We took Anna to the pool ... her first experience in the baby pool! She was a little overwhelmed at first. But once she was used to it, she splashed and played with her toys. She was SO cute in her little bathing suit and sunhat!

Brent loved his Father's Day gifts. A personalized coffee cup from Anna. And a Weber grill. One of the favorites was a framed picture for his desk at work.


We were happy to have Brent's mom and dad here for the day. Brent has great relationship with his dad. Greg is fun-loving, easy-going, and kind. Fun for us all to be together today. A father and his son .... and a father and his daughter.

I headed to South Bend with Anna on the Monday following Father's Day. So, that's when I saw my dad. A belated Father's Day for us, but no less special. Scott came over and we had steaks on the grill and enjoyed a nice evening. My dad is most special to me. I just love him dearly. Scott and I are blessed with a loving and an awesome dad.

We had a special and fun day with Brent. I am lucky to have him as my husband. Lucky we both are to have our daughter. And Anna is lucky to have Brent as her Daddy. He loves her beyond words. You can see it in his eyes when he looks at her. And she knows it .... she knows her Daddy loves her and she loves him right back. They are best buddies. She has a friend, hero, and father. I have a friend, partner, and husband. He's everything Anna and I will ever need.
