After a week long adventure for both Matt and the rest of the family, he returned home on the best possible day, Father's Day! Everybody was so glad to be reunited. Matt had a good trip with the middle school kids and his dad. We had a busy week here at home.

| Father's Day 2012 |
Tuesday-Playdate with Victoria, Parker, and Elianna at their house.
We had a lot of fun and the kids are already asking to go back. Emmy says, "I want to do dat adin!"
Wednesday-Fort Wayne Zoo with Mema and Papa B.
The kids loved it! We went on the carousel and the train. I'm pretty sure we saw EVERY animal! The kids visited right through naps without trouble. I was very thankful for the stroller though (Maybe my dad would disagree since he did all of the pushing! :)).
Thursday-Summer Library and Jana's Pool
I cannot say enough about the children's programs at the Nappanee Library. They are amazing and my kids love it every week! They were super excited to each get their OWN library cards for the summer.
After library, we went to Jana's Pool with Gma. I think we're going to have 2 little fish. They did great with their floaties, paddling all over the pool by themselves. Our next step will be to try to get them comfortable with water in their faces, but they had a ball!
Friday-Park with Jessica, Greyson, and Kenna and Pinterest Party
The kids loved playing the the Davis kids at the park. We pretty much had the park to ourselves. We packed a picnic lunch and stayed most of the morning. Then we also got to see the Davis' later that night when Jessica hosted a Pinterest Party. I made a headband holder for Emmy, which ironically is too small to hold her headbands. Oh well! It is still cute and was a lot of fun. Jess made coasters with photos and Jessica made a wooden picture holder for John for Father's Day!
Saturday-Dinner with Mema and Papa B. for Father's Day

Sunday-Father's Day and Daddy returns home!
We got Matt a collage, Purdue Pillow Pet, and homemade chocolate chip cookies.
Overall it was a good week, but I am SOOO blessed by Matt and everything he helps with around the house and with the kiddos. I'm thankful he's only gone 1 week out of the year.
Wow, you were busy...but what incredible memories were made! I love all the stuff you did and the pictures are precious!!!
