Fathers’ Day

We had a very low-key Fathers’ Day over here yesterday. Mark got up early to help a family from church move in so I brought both the kids in bed with me to snuggle. The Menininho promptly peed on Mark’s side of the bed. Haaaaappy Fathers’ Day! Yes, we changed the sheets before Mark got his Fathers’ Day nap.

M was more than happy to help his daddy open presents.

After church the boys cuddled with Mark to read.

We’re going to go out to dinner later this week.

What did you do to celebrate the fathers or father figures in your life?

Friday Favorites

Welcome to Friday Favorites! If you’re new to the blog, here’s how to play along. Every Friday I devote my post to showcasing awesome blog posts by other bloggers that I’ve read over the past week or two. I invite you to do the same and link up here, OR just link up directly to those posts you’ve loved this week. This is any easy way to share the love and find great new blogs.

This Sunday is Fathers’ Day and Amber‘s post why my husband deserves Father’s Day…illustrated with Crappy Pictures is sure to make you smile. It’s almost as though she was writing about *my* husband. 🙂

Paula wrote the moving No More Counting Soap Bubbles – a Tribute to Edwina Stephens. Ms. Stephens, who died June 8th, was part of the Tallahassee Bus Boycott and spent time relaying the events to Paula’s daughter.

I like the clever name of Rachel’s blog: Welcome to StimCity. She wrote a post entitled Autism Is… about what autism means in her family. I can relate to a lot of it!. Her post was so popular that Rachel started a new section of her blog for readers to come and share what autism means for their family.
