Happy Father's Day!

We had such a great day. It all started with French Toast (that seems to be the preferred celebratory breakfast in our house). It was gooood.. did you know they make "french toast bread"? It was a little thicker and said it had a hint of maple flavor.. yummy, if only they made "bacon bread"! :)

We planned on two "dad's gonna grill" meals so we made burgers for lunch and chicken kabobs for dinner. Both turned out so great. Gosh, sounds like all we did was sit around and eat today!

Maddie and I gave Matt his Father's Day gifts in the morning. Future years are sure to contain ugly ties and "world's best dad" coffee mugs but this year we gave Matt (more-so Maddie) a fabric book entitled "Maddie & Her Daddy". He loved it! It's a book for Maddie to eat and Matt to read to her. It contains photos of the two of them from birth until now. Here are photos that came from the designer. For some reason I didn't take any photos today with the two of them holding it. (duh!)







We also gave Matt, the newest Dave Matthews Band CD that just came out.. we jammed to it while we got ready for the day. Too bad we've both had a Wiggles song stuck in our heads all day! "I drive a big red. I drive a big red. I drive a big red car."

We took a long walk up to a park that had baby swings. Maddie had fun and even went down her first slide!

Here they go!

My oh so serious Maddie


Daddy got her laughing!


All in all, it was a really fun day. The sun decided to join us and the weather was just perfect. Maddie took a few naps and was in a pretty good mood. I know she loved spending the day with her dad.. tomorrow is just back to hanging with Mom on a Monday. :)

Happy Father's Day to Papa and Grandpa Frank! We miss you both!
