Without a doubt…

Summer 2011 is only a few days old, but we are already loving the hell out of it.

Here’s proof:

And we are so ready for more.

Kris - Great shots! That pool looks so lovely…

Dan - that’s actually our bathtub. The pool is way bigger.

The littlest one…

He sees her with her team. He wanders over.

He doesn’t understand why he can’t play. He wants to join in the fun. He wants to be with his big sister, to sit beside her with the other kids.

But not today.

Someday soon, too soon,  he’ll be big enough. He’ll probably tower over her in a few years.

But not today.

Today he is the littlest one, watching from the sidelines. And today I’m ok with that.

Dominik - love the picture…

Dan - He won’t get any bigger, right? He’ll stay this cute forever? 13 months is a ton of fun.

Moments.

There are moments that you don’t ever want to forget.  Moments that, at the time, pull your heartstrings or have you laughing hysterically.  This was one of those for me.

The boy is a real monkey.  He climbs everything.  And when he gets to the top, he is always very pleased with himself.  Today it was the stool in the kitchen.  I was across the island from him when he popped up with that smile on his face.  Best ever.

I’m only slightly biased, but I think he might be the cutest boy there ever was.  Parents, lock up your daughters.  This one is definitely gonna break hearts.  😉

Dominik - oh, I agree!!!

You.

On the day AFTER Father’s Day (because that’s how I roll) I wanted to say thank you.  An enormous, giant, humungous thank you to the daddy.  Dan, you are the most awesome, hands-on, fun, involved, wrestling on the ground, book-reading, breakfast-and-dinner-cooking, story-telling, hand-holding, booboo-kissing, mama-reassuring, diaper-changing, bath-giving, baby-loving, best dad ever kind of father.

You make our littles your first priority and I appreciate every second I get to watch how you love on them.  But even better than that, is watching how much they love on you.  You are the best and we three are lucky to have you.

Happy (belated) Father’s Day!

Dan - Thanks! Father’s Day #5 was wonderful. Breakfast in bed, a nice bike ride, and an afternoon spent outside romping with the kiddles. Couldn’t have asked for more.
