Father's Day 2011 began when all four of us woke up sick with coughs and runny noses, which meant going to church was out of the picture. Instead we made the most of the day and tried to honor and serve Daddy as much as we could, while passing around the tissue box to each other.
Callan gave him his gifts, a t-shirt from cafepress and a dodo bird bumper sticker (he requested both). We also played the video that I made for him, and Callan kept asking him all morning, "Daddy, did you like your video?"
I suggested that we go to get doughnuts in the morning at Krispy Kreme.
Gene then got the afternoon off (while the kids and I took a nap) to go spend some time searching for some materials to do some artwork, his main focus this summer.
I prepared a "Gene" dinner while he played Wii with the kids. Hot crab dip (first time I made this and it was soooo easy) and bison burgers with his favorite smile fries.
The kids and I are grateful that today is the first day of summer vacation for Gene. We'll get to spend time with him all summer while he pursues his artwork and we all prepare for Baby #3 in August!
