Father's Day

In the U.K., Father's Day is celebrated on the same day as in the U.S.  Mother's Day, on the other hand, is celebrated in March here in the U.K. and in May for the states.  I'm not sure why there is a difference.  Either way, we get to celebrate DADS! 

One of the things I miss the most is getting together with our families on special days like Father's Day.  Everyone brings something, and we hang out, swim and usually barbeque.  It's always fun seeing everyone and sharing that family time.  Since we have no family around, we made the best of it with just the five of us.  We made Eric breakfast in bed, went to church and spent the afternoon at the adventure playground.  It was a fun family day, but we did miss our extended families. 

I love the ideas on Pinterest!  I just wish there was a Hobby Lobby or some sort of craft shop here.  These were the only colors of cardstock I could find.  Not my first choice, but it still turned out cute.  Notice how close in size Amelia's hand is to Dylan's! 

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

    
Some updated pictures for Daddy's wallet...since he still has baby pictures of Dylan!


Daddy wanted to spend the day at the Adventure Playground again.  Dylan and Amelia were thrilled!  They are getting very brave, and their balance has improved already.  They were much more confident this time.






Cora had just fallen asleep in the stroller, so we just did the big kids and Dad.








Mommy got up there and gave it a try.  Whoa!  Amelia was way ahead of me!  I was slow, but I made it to the big slide.





Happy Father's Day, Daddy!  We love you!
