Father’s Day

| June 21, 2015

This Father’s Day we spent with all the dads, starting with Mark and his dad on Saturday. Sam drew Pop Pop a card and gave him a framed picture of the two of them.

As you can see, Pop Pop loved his card!

Sam made sure to show him her garden…

The best part of the night, at least for Sam, was when we all went out for ice cream at one of Sam’s favorite places — Vera’s — the ice cream shop that is near our house.

Mark did open one or two things (the couple of things he asked for) but we saved most of his gifts for Sunday. Sam drew her dad two special cards with pictures of them together.

She had picked out some t-shirts for him (she loves when he wears shirts with pictures of things). She got him a few from EMS, including this one, and a cool Batman shirt. One of her favorite t-shirts, the one with a vinyl record on it, shrunk a bit so he gave it to Sam. She loves sleeping in it.

Sam loved giving her dad these Dad-Kid pairs of socks since she loves when he wears crazy socks, and even more, when they can match.

After all the gifts, it was swing time before heading over to see Grandmom and Poppy. Sam wore this blue dress because she knows her daddy’s favorite color is blue.

After a yummy pasta dinner with Grandmom and Poppy, it was time for more presents.

Sam loves her Poppy!

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads in Sam’s life. She is lucky to have all of you.

Curly Q

The weather has been so humid lately and it always does fun things to Sam’s hair. My hair won’t hold any bit of curl, but in the right weather, Sam’s will curl up so nicely on the ends. I noticed these corkscrews and pointed them out to her. I absolutely love this face!
