Happy Father's Day 2009

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, Eric!!! It is almost impossible to believe that we were just getting used to the idea of a little Martin at this time last year!
You are doing a fantastic job as a father- thank you so much for working so hard for the family: I know all the travel cannot be very easy- and Vake is your Number One Biggest Fan. We miss you when you are gone during the week and we are happy when you are home.

We had a big breakfast this morning and Eric got his presents, including the apron that Taren and Vake made- too cute!
Here are two pics of father and son- they are both wearing blue polo shirts today- how cute that they match!

This picture is turned sideways and I cannot make it turn correctly, but the important takeaway is that little V is now DONE with the Bumbo seat- his little legs got stuck in it this morning and he couldn't get out. Poor Vake.

And last but not least, here's what Domingo does when his daddy Dennis leaves. Awwww. Too sweet.

What a fun day

So I haven't had a lot of experience on the receiving end of Mother's Day. All in all, though, the day was pretty excellent. Vake woke up in a fantastic mood. Then, he and I took a walk through Carytown and people kept on saying "Happy Mother's Day" to me, which was pretty incredible.

Then, I got the best present from Eric- he didn't work this afternoon and we took Vake to the Museum District Mother's Day House Tour. As cheesy as I know it sounds, getting some quality time with both of them in the gorgeous weather that we are having was really all I could have asked for for Mother's Day.

And as if that wasn't enough, we had dinner with Chuck, Julie and Neil- burgers on the grill and delicious desserts with good friends! What a day!
