Happy Father's Day!

Ireland was getting over a cold so I stayed home with her while Brent took Liesel to church. He got to watch her join the Primary during Sacrament and sing, "I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home." Since he wasn't taking a misbehaving Ireland out, he actually got to enjoy Sacrament meeting for once! Liesel came home from Primary with this:
At 3 years old, 3' tall and only 4 lbs, Brent has sure overcome a lot of his weaknesses!
Here's the picture on the back. Liesel always draws me with Bozo the Clown hair. The other one is Brent. Liesel is between us and Ireland is the tiny thing to my side. Then huge red thing is a lion and apparently she decided to practice writing some of her letters as well.
For Father's Day, Brent received two packages of flavored pistachios (his favorite) and we made a cobb salad and rolls for lunch. I was feeling unusually energetic (perhaps a perk of not going through the Sunday morning hustle and bustle?) so Brent was able to take a long nap. When he woke up, there was plenty of soccer, basketball and even baseball (the Red Sox were playing the Cubs) to top off the day.

I love many things about Brent, but I truly love the father he is to his girls. Between dance party, daddy-daughter dates, and the little moments he constantly shares with them, he really knows how to throw his heart and energy into parenting. The girls adore their dad and we're all so very grateful he's ours!
