Celebrating Mike

It was fun watching the kids enjoy Mike today. After church and a special lunch, Jonah asked for rest time with Dad, and then we spent the rest of the day at the lake. I debated on how I could make Father's Day special for Mike this year, but the practical side of me took over (doesn't it always?), and I decided to give Mike the day on Saturday to travel where he wanted to catch up on his reading for grad school. He went to his office for the day :)

Mike has a love language that's not mentioned in the popular book; we refer to it as "playing." I wanted us to play together on Sunday.

The kids turned into fish over the weekend. It's very apparent to me that they have their Daddy's genes! Lydia is Mommy's girl, but she is also her Daddy's little daredevil! She wanted to be thrown higher over and over again! I had to warn the kids that tomorrow's lake visit wouldn't be as fun since Daddy wouldn't be there to play with them, and Mommy doesn't really enjoy lake water :)

We're thankful for Daddy.
