It is Father's Day. The kids and I gave Michael two $25.00 gift cards to Bass Pro Shop. The kids each picked out really cute/funny cards for Michael. He enjoyed them. We also gave him a bag of Twizzlers and a bag of Jolly Ranchers.
I'm not sure why but today was really hard for me. This is the fourth Father's Day since my dad died and it just really got to me today. I have made it through the other three Father's Days pretty o.k., but today I just cried and felt such a big hole. Michael has been great about it though. He's really done all he can to try and be supportive and make me feel better. I am so lucky to have him.
We had lunch with Michael's side of the family at Lewis & Clark's. It was a nice lunch in that we all enjoyed each other's company. Our waitress was not the greatest. When we asked for more drinks after sitting with empty glasses for a while the waitress said, "yes, I'll get them, I do have this other table, too." Well, excuse us. My SIL's food was cold, too. But, the company we shared was good.
When we got home the kids got in the pool. Michael went up to the duplex to paint. His mom and dad both went up to help him. I did some homework and some laundry.
Around 4:45 Kelly, Jeremy and the kids came over. Michaela and Caleb had invited their cousins to go swimming. It turned into a very fun evening. They stuck around to have pizza with us and just hang out. They were here until almost 9:00 p.m. It was very relaxing to be able to just hang out in our back yard with family and just be together. I'm REALLY glad they came over.
