Father's Day Weekend

We are actually going to call this Father's Day Weekend part 1 because I didn't get the chance to celebrate with my Dad this weekend but will get to this upcoming weekend!
Anyways....we had another great weekend filled with lots of friends, pool time, and our little family of 3.5!
Friday night Volree and Nick invited us over for dinner. Oh my gosh it was delicious!!! Plus we love hanging out with Volree and Nick and their little boy Cooper! There were other couples there that we got to meet as well and they were all so nice. This place just is filled with fun couples:)

Jack is in major teething mode! One of his favorite objects is the beer bottle. I think it's because the bottle is hard and cold. But he is German so who knows.

Saturday morning we went on an early morning walk to the neighborhood farmer's market. By early I mean like 8am and look how sweaty Mike already is!

I got fresh farm tomatoes. One of my summer pleasures is fresh tomatoes. There is nothing like them when they come straight from the garden! They make everything 10x better like my BLT's later on that night:)

Saturday we just hung out. Went to the pool, met up with another fun couple Jen & Bob who encouraged me to let Jack "cry it out". Wonderful to have friends that have recently gone through all of these baby stages and can encourage you! We aren't that exciting anymore, we just try to entertain baby Jack anyway we can.

Ohhh I had such a fabulous surprise on Saturday afternoon! I got a package from Leah (I don't care how old you are a package in the mail, that you didn't online shop for yourself, is so exciting)! Inside was an awesome Cubs tshirt for next weeks night game and the sweetest note asking me to be her Matron of Honor! I am so "honored" that she wants to include me...the old married lady with a baby:) I have blogged about Leah before, I just love her and I am so lucky to have her as a sister now (even though she has felt like one for quite some time now). It is such a blessing that we have such a great relationship! Anyways, thank you Leah I am sooooo excited!!!!

Here is Mike Father's Day morning opening his gift before heading to church.

Then a "Jack Attack" emerged! We had to deal with this little monster. So in order to let other people enjoy their church service we watched Willow online. Mike Singletary was the guest speaker and he did an amazing job! The lesson that stuck most with me was that we need to Bless our children for what God designed them to be.
Watch here if you have the time!

One of Mike's Father's Day gifts was a lawnmower. We lived in a condo before so we didn't have to worry about a backyard...or front yard. I was so proud of him cutting the lawn for the first time since we have been married. And he assembled it himself. Way to go Hubby!

Later on that afternoon we went to dinner with Allison, Justin and their little girl Maddy. We ate across the street at their neighbors Julie and Jeremy...with their little boy Jude! Another great dinner with great people:)

Michael Postma, Happy First Father's Day! You are doing such an amazing job! It's been a hard year with transitions but you have been supportive, encouraging, and loving through them all. Life just keeps getting more exciting for us Preppy! Thank you working so hard in all that you do! Jack and I love you more and more each day! Very Happy that you are my baby's Daddy:)

Now even though we are celebrating Father's Day with my Dad next weekend I have to say a little word about him! This was the 2nd time that I have ever, in my life, not been with him on Father's Day. I know people just think it is a Hallmark holiday, but it gives me a chance to celebrate how lucky I am to have such a loving, funny, smart, caring, thoughtful, good looking :), and God honoring Dad! You are such a wonderful role model and we all love you!
