First Father's Day

Well today is a special day as you can imagine! Daniel and I let Daddy sleep in today since it is Father's Day. We went upstairs when Daddy woke up to give him kisses. Daniel was so excited that he was waving his arms and talking up a storm when he saw Daddy. After all we had been waiting 2 hours to give him his presents. Daniel gave him the book, "The Very Best Daddy of All" as well as his handprint ornament that he made at daycare! Then Mommy and Daniel revealed the big gift - Guitar Hero III, Legends of Rock for the Wii. Daddy was very excited and I am sure we will be hearing this on the Wii a lot this summer. (Another way for Michael to brainwash Daniel with 80's music). Then Michael made pancakes and Daniel ate them all up. He loves Daddy's pancakes!

Daddy and Daniel (d-squared) went outside to play with footballs while I went to the store to buy groceries to cook a special dinner for Michael tonight. This is a beautiful day beyond words and seeing Michael as a DAD makes my heart burst with love for both my boys.

Yesterday, we went to Grandpa and Nana's place to celebrate Father's Day with Michael's family. Daniel received all kinds of new toys (for use at Nana and Grandpa's house) including a Disney car that Daniel loved. He even figured out how to sit on it and move it back and forth with one foot (both feet cannot reach the ground yet)! Daniel was crawling all over and showing off for Aunt Valerie and Uncle Eric. It might look like we are letting Daniel eat a big cookie or pita, but in reality he is teething on a coaster. We had to move everything else off the table b/c he wanted to get a hold of Nana's famous 7 layer dip.

Plus Grandpa sang Daniel all kinds of new songs. Grandpa and Nana gave Holly a pink Orioles Hat to go with her pink Raven's hat. Grandpa and Daniel had a great time playing with the hat as well as you can see in the pictures.

Daniel even sat at the table with us (in his booster seat) for Father's Day dinner. He ate bread, chicken and potatoes. We took the pictures outside of three generations - Robert Lewis, Michael Lewis and Daniel Lewis (how special is that!). We are so blessed by Daniel and his presence in all our lives.

Daniel sends out a special Father's Day wish to Pop-pop who he gets to see later this week!
