Happy Fathers Day!!

We were in Vegas the morning of Fathers Day so it was not the typical yearly celebration for us. We woke up that morning and Alec and I (Air and Ash were at Grandma and Grandpa's house) and we gave Adam his gifts. He got a baseball glove, baseball, Angels tickets, and a frame with a picture and a poem in it....

"Walk a Little slower, Daddy." said a little child so small.I'm following in your footsteps and I don't want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast, sometimes they're hard to see;So walk a little slower Daddy, for you are leading me.
Someday when I'm all grown up, You're what I want to be.Then I will have a little child who'll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right, and know that I was true;So, walk a little slower, Daddy, for I must follow you!!
In the picture the kids are all wearing the shirts that Daddy was wearing on the day that they were born. I hope to take a picture of them each year wearing those same shirts for Adam for fathers day.
Adam was quite happy with all his gifts and we had a wonderful morning. After that we got up and went down to breakfast to meet up with my family, and most importantly, my Dad. We all enjoyed a nice breakfast together and then headed out. We drove Alec thru the strip before heading on the road. Traffic was not too horrible and we were to the Hawley's house by 4:00 p.m. For the rest of the day we enjoyed Grandma and Grandpa and some wonderful food. Despite all the driving, Fathers Day this year was quite relaxing!
I always knew that I picked a wonderful man for my husband, but I never could have imagined what an amazing father he would be! Alec loves playing star wars with him and helping him in any way he can. Aaron absolutely IDOLIZES him and Ashley is just his little princess.
