Saturday~

Ashlyn, Summer, and I spent the day with Kevin, Athena, Sonny, Sarah, and Parkin at Santana Row and Valley Fair.

We had a late and leisurely lunch at Maggiano’s Little Italy, walked around, enjoyed the beautiful weather, and shopped.

If my chest was not threatening to explode (due to engorgement), I would have to say that it was a perfect day! :grin:

Spent the evening with Emily and Wing…hanging out with the tykes and watching “Duplex” on DVD (thanks to Mouji-Boy!).

Sunday~

daddy!

Hosted a Father’s Day celebration at home with family and relatives. The festivities lasted all day and well into the evening. We had tons of yummy food and lots of laughs. I got to catch up with a few cousins I haven’t seen in over 4 years! Great fun was had by all….especially the kiddies!

Heather, Eva, and Frank had taken the kids to a nearby park. They returned a couple of hours later, with Ashlyn fast asleep in Frank’s arms. Not thinking much of it, I put her in our bed to nap. *UGH!* Now there’s a bunch of sand in our bed!!! Oh well. :neutral:

my knight-in-shining armor and king
Knight & King (Aric and Dad – Halloween 2003)
To two of the most important men in my life, my dad and Aric~
Your sacrifices, patience, dedication, love, blood, sweat, and tears never go un-noticed.
I am extremely proud and lucky to be a part of the family you both work so hard to provide for.
I love you!

Also, wishing my father-in-law and daddy-friends a HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
