...the first time he held Makayla and Liam.
...the stuffed musical bunny he surprised Makayla with her first Christmas...and the rocking horse her second.
...the way he takes such pride in washing Makayla's hair each night...and now Liam's.
...when he cuddles on the couch with Makayla...to watch football.
and last night...
...when he made a special trip to the store after work because a co-worker told him they had Dora Crocs. He came home with not just one, but two pair (her current size AND the next size up), a Dora t-ball set, and a lifejacket (yes, Herb, he is planning his first kayak trip with her at the lake at the end of the month!) Makayla's eye's lit up when she saw that her daddy was home from work, but did so even more when he shared the presents with her...melted a mama's heart! She put on her shoes immediately (all by herself) and ran around playing in them all evening. She LOVED her t-ball set as well. Guess what she had to put on first thing this morning?! Her Dora Crocs! Too cute!

an updated photo of Liam...he's a thinker!
adorable, TINY, little handFor Father's Day, Seth treated himself and his father to a Bruce Springstein concert. So, I wasn't supposed to get him any gifts...instead, I borrowed an idea from my friend Cheryl. I dressed the children up in Seth's clothes, took pictures of them, and then framed the cutest ones (thanks Mom for helping me!) Sounds strange, but look how cute...

Nice pics. So cool he's getting her on the water.
Nice? It’s the only thing, said the Water Rat solemnly, as he leant forward for his stroke. Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing -- absolute nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. Simply messing, he went on dreamily: messing -- about -- in -- boats; messing -- --

Dana, Herb showed me the Father's day shots and I absolutely love them. I shared them with a few friends. Hope you don't mind because they are amazing photos. Herb and I talked about it and that is something that works really well with a little girl. To put her in daddy's clothes. Soooo cute. Sorry we haven't been down yet, Herb has been really working hard on the house and he has us on a pretty tight schedule.

I just took Chloe out on her first Kayak trip... she loved it! I am trying to figure out if Gavin is too young because we would love to go out altogether as a family. Take lots of pics!!!
BTW - your father's day pics turned out so much better than mine!
Thanks for your compliments on the photos...it was a fast and furious photo session, but well worth it. I think the shots turned out great...something I'll cherish. Cheryl, thanks for the idea, but I certainly think yours turned out better! Herb and Susie, I sure hope to introduce Liam to you soon. He's already changed so much!
