Happy Fathers Day!

I am thankful for my Dad, and all that he does.

He and I never were close, but after the passing of my mom he has really been there for me!

From bringing me sprite when I was nauseated when I was pregnant, to picking me up milk for Daniel. He always makes sure I have plenty of botteled water, and calls and wakes me up EVERY morning.

I am proud of him in many ways. I am proud of his preserverance in a difficult time, for being my rock when I was barely surviving. I am proud that he is a veteran, and served our country in Vietnam. I am grateful for how much he puts up with me. And I am proud of just how great of a father he has been and still is.

So, I am greatful for the relationship we have formed.

I am thankful at how much he loves Daniel. I am thankful that Daniel is getting to know his Gramps.

Being a child that never had a single grandparent, I am so happy Daniel has him - a wonderful grandfather.


I also want to express my gratitude for Daniel's father...

I am greatful that Daniel has a father that has taken responsibility and loves him, and wants to spend time with him.

Just the beginning of summer

So much going on here!

Well it mainly consists of me attempting to keep up with Daniel!

He is constantly on the move these days.

He prefers to walk than crawl this past week.

Any time he falls, he picks himself right back up and walks a few more steps.

Then repeat the same process.

Glad to see he can dust himself off and keep going!

Daniel is a bottomless pit!

You would think the way he eats he would weigh a ton, but that boy is like his daddy.

So, were just gonna be long and lean.

He seems to be eating and working all of it off!

We have had a busy summer already, and well it's just gonna get more busy!

We invested in a season pass to NRH2O!

Daniel loves it!

We have gone every week for the last 3 weeks!

Daniel loves the water, and is doing really well with getting more confident with floating on his stomach and back with minimal hand holding.

Below are pics from our first visit.

He really enjoys the alligator, and all the water sprays!

Our one and only favorite alligator!

Daniel loves some Rootbeer!


And his chicken sandwhiches!

Yummy!

Fun in the sun
