Father's Day

Father's Day came and went. We tried to make it special for Ryan and hopefully succeeded. Kim asked him once what he wanted and he told her a matchbox car. She dutifully remembered and even tried to trick him a few times by telling him over and over that he was going to get to open his rubber ducky soon. The kids each picked out a car for him. Kim, a futuristic concept car and Glade a Land Rover, which he called a Jeep. Ryan, being the cool Dad that he is, set up our table leaves running all the way down the stairs and made a great track for the cars to race down. Unfortunately, they are not as well-built as their full-scale counterparts, and the Land Rover sustained some major damage. The axles are bent and it doesn't roll straight any longer. I guess you can't expect much more. If you really drove a vehicle down that steep of a hill going that fast, it would probably sustain damage also.



I was neglectful and didn't manage to get a picture of the kids WITH Ryan, but he did take these of the kids.

We are very grateful for our Dads and Grandpas also and hope they know how much we love them. We are looking forward to seeing them in a month or so.

Love you Ryan! Thanks for being a great Father for our kids. They really love you and always look forward to your homecoming each day.
