Daddy Do Over





Umm...how shall we put this? Father's Day this year sucked (honestly tried, but can't come up with a better word). It happened to be the day of the congregational meeting at church— easily a day that will forever be on our short list of really bad days.  We promised Mark that when we arrived on this promised coast we would have a Daddy Do Over Day and pamper him the way he most definitely deserves. 


Mark's heart is pretty simple- he just loves us, all the time, with all he has to give. His desires are pretty simple too- a chance to sleep-in, drink Peet's coffee in bed with the LA Times, church as a family, tri-tip burrito from SB Chicken Ranch, a double-double from In N' Out and lots of cuddles. We ended up having to delay the double-double until later in the week (Leah had a photo shoot for work on Sunday afternoon) but it just made the love fest last a little longer. Mark we love you. We would be lost without you. You make every day better and there is no place where we feel safer than in your arms.  Here's to many more good days looking ahead and to watching the bad days fade in that rearview mirror- deal?

I love this post and am glad you had a do over day for Father's Day. You summed it up well when you said about Mark "he just loves us, all the time, with all he has to give." Happy Father's Day to a great father and a wonderful man!
