Happy Father's Day

Well, don't know how many "postings" one is supposed to have in a day... but this is my third! I want to give a shout out to my good friends Ange and Scott, who just had a beautiful baby girl Madison! Oh the joys of motherhood! In one night you go from being responsible only for yourself, to bearing the responsibility for another life... and often times for the 1st year all they want is mommy. But man when Joshua looks at me and smiles, my heart just melts.
He has just started grabbing and exploring his feet! Lifting them and touching his toys with them, it amazes me the skills that babies learn overnight. He also has started reaching for my face when I am holding him, and leaning in to get my kisses! Of Course his mouth is wide open and slobbery, but I don't care. I will take any kisses that I can get right now because all too soon, it will be "yuck mommy, don't kiss me!"
I am so thankful for this little guy! I am looking forward to Ray's 1st Father's Day tomorrow... I picked up this children's book titled "Why I Love My Daddy"; it's so cute, and there's even a spot for a picture of Joshua and Ray. Also I found the perfect card, Daddy's 1st Father's Day! I wasn't finding the card I wanted and then BAM there it was! I picked up this adorable outfit from Old Navy, it's a jumper that says "Daddy's Little Dude" and has matching pants, I can't wait for Ray to see it!
Anyway, I will stop now, Ciao!

Happy father's Day Ray! Me and the girls bought Daddy a new golf club (a driver) and sent him to the golf course with our neighbour. They had perfect weather and a great time!

Enjoy the day!

Well, how did the first father's day go? I'm sure Joshua looked adorable!!! Unfortunately I had to work so Tony was with them alone all day (and Isaac was throwing up)...so it was a real, practical, doing all the things a daddy does kind of day for him...not too much fluff!
