Happy [Belated] Fathers Day!

Our little family and my brother surprised my dad with a visit this last weekend as a belated Fathers Day celebration.  We spent most of the weekend just hanging out and enjoying each others company, and it was great!

We also spent a small portion of time letting Little T get familiar with a kiddie pool in the hope that he will stop resenting his bath so much.  He kind of liked the pool.  Still not so fond of the bath, though.

And I wanted to share Noah's Fathers Day gift with you, because I think it's such a great idea that I am sure you might want to do this at some point.  So to set the scene, this was Noah's first and long awaited Fathers Day, and I wanted some that was just a little more special than a "#1 Dad" coffee mug.  (Not that those are bad.  I did seriously look at those since his "New Dad Needs More Coffee" mug is cracking and about to fall apart.)  The Mommyhood shared the idea of doing a video of your kids talking about their parent, but Little T is really too young for that.  Not long after reading that, I got an email from Kodakgallery.com with their special offers, and -- ding, Ding, DING -- I finally realized what to do.  I stayed up late to upload all my pictures, and then the next morning I put together this book a book of pictures of Noah and Little T from the moment the first met to about a week before Fathers Day.  (Okay, Kodak, you're linking issues are annoying me!)

Coincidentally, the very next day, my father-in-law asked me to help him put together a photo book for my mother-in-law, and I learned all sorts of new things you can do that I was too rushed to figure out the first time.  Anyway, if you're needing a special gift for a special someone, keep this in mind.  It was a big hit!
