Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

I think Jude had nightmares last night. He woke up 3 times SCREAMING for mommy and Daddy but couldnt tell us what was wrong. Weird! :( Hope you get to take a nap today!
ReplyDeleteOh I am soooo worried about this! Baby number two can take its time developing so I can catch up on sleep! How precious are your boys though!
ReplyDeleteSleep is so overrated ;) Kids are so very worth it too. Though it's hard sometimes to remember that when your whole body hurts from being fatigued. Mine are getting too old to be fun like that.
