That is exactly what cute little Jack sounded everytime he told Erik happy father's day..."happy fardsday"! We celebrated by getting Erik some NY strip steak to have for dinner tonight among the few little gifts we gave him this morning which consisted of linen shorts, swedish fish (the candy), beef jerky (classy eh?), and a few cards. We are saving up for a big gift in the future... he wants an extra large Big Green Egg for smoking meat so we are going small in hopes of getting him his egg sometime soon! Anyway, we visited a church we really like today and met several people in our "life stage". Lots of young professionals/young families/stay at home moms so hopefully my friend count will go up from 5 soon! (I'm counting the guy that came over to fix our refrigerator in that total of 5 by the way) We had a great Father's Day and we just thankful to be able to spend it with our dad.
This has been a tough day for me since my dad passed away 7 years ago yesterday right before Father's Day weekend. But now that I have such a wonderful husband who is an excellent father it distracts me from being sad because I'm so thankful for the kind of father Erik is to Jack and Jacob. Enjoy the pictures!

Erik's father's day dinner (the turkey dogs are for Jack, or course, our son who refuses to eat red meat)
Jacob was really excited for his first Father's Day
Jack is fearless in the water...he says "tomach tomach" because he wants to go down the slide head first on his stomach
Oh my precious happy baby
Father/son pool time...Erik's a little big for the blow up pool
I love his smile...can't get enough...

i think about your dad a lot when I read your blog (and its amazing how much he pops randomly into thoughts, memories, or conversations) and I often think how proud he would be of you and how he would eat up Jack and Jacob!!! Lots of people miss him! :)
