D-A-D-D-Y (year #2)

So much for originality.  We gave Matt the exact same thing we gave last year, only updated with newer pics.

It's still a really fun present.  And combined with the stacks of art work the kids made for Matt, it added up to be a pretty fun Father's Day.  Plus I've got NC (eastern) style BBQ in the crock pot, slaw in the fridge and some friends are joining us for supper.  Alisa is bringing (homemade) hamburger buns and mac n cheese.  I'm going to fry up some hushpuppies and it'll be just like the real deal..... minus the banana pudding - we've had a crazy full weekend with Julianna as a flower girl in a wedding that kept me hopping and out of the house a ton over the past few days, so no banana pudding this time around :(

The goal wasn't perfection, which was a good thing :)  And we had a fun time posing, at least right up until the end when we worked on the big D with all five kiddos and Luke was tired of this little activity.  Alas, little guy had no vision for the end project, and we all know that where there is no vision the people perish, right? 

So consider that first D with all five kiddos a great illustration of a perishing baby with no vision for his Daddy's Father's Day gift :)

Happy Father's Day Matt.  You're the best of the best.  What a privilege to journey parenthood with you!
