Dr. Daddy

Father's Day was filled with celebration and fun appropriate for the man who works so hard to make our dreams come true. Sunday morning at church Mark received a surprise from the congregation, a gorgeous new doctoral robe (and his academic hood from Mom and Dad Watson) to celebrate his Doctorate of Ministry from San Francisco Theological Seminary. Along with the robe came a standing ovation and cake, so we were all pretty happy and proud.

After Mark and the kids took a two hour post church nap (and Leah read an InStyle mag from cover to cover-bliss!), we took Daddy out for ice cream, came home for presents and balloons...you really can't celebrate anything around here without balloons, then after the kids were tucked in, Mark and Leah enjoyed steaks, a yummy pinot noir and a movie date snuggled up on the sofa. It was a great day for a great man.

Favorite quotes of the day (from Beemer, of course):

"No, no Dr. Watson! He's Dr. Daddy!"

"Mommy, you aren't my friend. You're just my mommy."
