Fathers Day

We've been working on what it means to "celebrate" at our house so we tried to come up with lots of little celebrations throughout the day for Mark.  He certainly deserves to be celebrated.  As tough as it can be with him traveling, he is fully present with his family when he is home.  I could never have imagined that my girls would have such an attentive father.  He is wonderful to them!!

Mark ran 8 miles before breakfast Sunday morning so I thought we should feed him well.  I made a cornbread quiche which he enjoyed with a banana and we hung a little banner that said, "best dad!"

He also opened a bunch of little notes that told him things we appreciate about him.

After lunch we gave him one of his presents...a new swimsuit for his one day triathlon.  He's still been swimming like crazy.  I'm really proud of him!

For an afternoon snack he got a pack of Mike and Ikes, along with a really good looking shirt! :-)

Caroline has been obsessed with taking pictures lately!  I love how Mark is trying to show her how in the picture above!

After we talked with all the grandpas, we ate a yummy grilled dinner and then went to the pool to swim for a bit before bed time.  It was a great day to be together and celebrate Mark!
