Not According to Plan

This Father's Day weekend didn't exactly go according to plan. Josh ended up getting strep throat on Sunday morning so we weren't able to go to church or do anything else that was on our agenda. Emma had strep throat about 3 weeks ago and I got it on Thursday. We've had it rough, but we're making it.

Thankfully, on Saturday we had a fantastic day...so for all intensive purposes, Saturday was Father's Day in this house. Here is a recap:

Make thumbprint art for Daddy:

Finished product - turtle thumbprints. I love them!

Emma got hungry after the thumbprints and some shopping, so we stopped by and got her a hotdog. This hotdog was a foot long and at least double the size of a normal, every day hotdog. Here she is wolfing it down. She ate an entire half, including the bun. We just knew she wouldn't eat lunch with us when we went a little later on.

But we were so wrong! She ate pickles, shrimp, a hush puppy, and some french fries. She was a bottomless pit that day!

After eating, we let her run off some energy as she looked at the waterfall and some fish. There was an aquarium inside that Emma absolutely adored. It made us contemplate getting a fish tank. The jury is still out.

Emma was a Daddy's girl this whole day.

I love how cute they are together.

After her nap, we went and fed the ducks at the lake. As any other young diva would do, she had to change outfits and put on sunglasses, a necklace and a bracelet. I'm sure the ducks and turtles were glad that she put forth the extra effort to accessorize.

This is Josh and Emma letting a duck eat out of their hand. It made me nervous, but Emma thought it was hilarious.

I love this one. They are both so happy and content.

Swimming in the back yard in the new pink pool Josh bought for her.

Emma's babysitter brought her old doll crib and changing table set over this weekend. Of course Emma took right to it and had it all set up in no time. Thanks Heather, for passing along your baby furniture!

Happy Father's Day, Josh - we will pick another day to really celebrate the day when you can actually come in contact with your little girl.

A big Happy Father's Day to my Dad today too! I am very blessed that I have you in my life. I miss you and love you!
