Happy Father's Day

Well, today's is Father's Day and Nathan is sick. What a way to feel appreciated! He hasn't felt well since Thursday evening and has had a sore throat and fever. Thankfully his fever is gone, but he still didn't feel good enough to make the family rounds. After church, the kids and I went to his parents' house for lunch. The kids had a good time playing and visiting with the various grandparents that were there.

After that we headed to my parents' house for dinner. Dee was there with her family and Jacob and Ellie loved playing with Colton. It has been really hot, so after dessert, the kids played in the sprinkler in the backyard for awhile.

They were so noisy that we decided next time they can eat in the kitchen!

Today was fun, but really long, so it was good to come home to relax (and put the kids to bed!). Nathan was feeling better, so he opened his presents and spent some time with the kiddos before baths, stories, and bed. I am so thankful for a husband who likes to put the kids to bed so that I can enjoy some peace and quiet every evening!
