Yesterday was Father's Day and I had not given it much thought as my husband was out of town. We had plans to have lunch with my Father-In-Law and family, knew there was a quick call to my dad in the plans, but other than that, we had no other "holiday" plans. This turned out to be one of the most fulfilling Father's Day ever. Lunch with Pops was a lot of fun. It's great to see him smile and I saw that a lot yesterday. Although my call to my on Father was brief, it was so wonderful to hear his voice and know that he was surrounded by family in Memphis. Sure my brother and sister's kids kept him plenty busy. Then the surprise of all surprises. My husband called with an unexpected 4 hour layover in St. Louis. Amira and I were so excited. We quickly came up with an impromptu present for him. Our fantastic neighbor shot a few adorable pictures of us and we sped to Walgreens to print off a few copies. A frame with pics of his two favorite girls to put in his hotel room, some candy and a silly card that makes noise. What more could a guy ask for? We picked him up at the airport and just hung out. It was short, but it was so much fun. I simply loved it. Sitting in Dairy Queen watching my daughter lay her head on her Dad's shoulder was the best. What an unexpected delight.
What a fantastic day!!!!
