The Perfect Weekend...

This weekend was the perfect summer weekend! We spent almost all of our time outside...doing just about everything that epitomizes summer! We grilled out, played in the pool and the sandbox, drew with sidewalk chalk, ate watermelon and popcicles...all kinds of things that made it the perfect weekend!
I know it's Father's Day weekend, but somehow, I ended up being the one getting treated!! First of all, Brian let me sleep in on Saturday morning while he picked up the house and wrangled with the kids, and then Saturday night we had a girls night out!! I got to go out to eat with some girls from church with NO KIDS!! WooHoo!! Again, I'm not sure how I managed that, but it was great!!! I did feel kind of guilty, it being Father's Day weekend and all, so I did make dinner before I left, and got them stuff to make banana splits while I was gone. Of course, Addie Grace thought that was just perfect!! When I got home, I did take over and do baths and read ten million stories and put them both to bed while Brian played xbox, so I guess that made up for a tiny portion of it!
My kids truly are blessed with a wonderful Daddy and I am so thankful that God chose him for us!! This weekend reminded me once again how blessed I truly am! Not because of what I was able to do, but because of who made me able to do it!!! I'm fortunate to have the kind of husband, and my children have the kind of Daddy, who constantly puts us before himself, and walks away saying that he is the lucky one!! Thank you for loving us and leading us!!! We love you!!
Also this Father's Day (and most every other day) I am thankful to my father-in-law for being such a wonderful father to Brian. I know that alot of the traits that I cherish in Brian and how he fathers my babies, were taught to him by Larry...and I am more thankful for that than he will ever know!!
And lastly, I have to say that I was truly blessed with the best father of them all! I am so thankful to my Daddy for always being an example of Christ to me. More important than any lesson his words have ever taught me, are the lessons that I have learned by him quietly leading me everyday...just by being who I know that he is. He has shown me over and over again his servants heart and he has shown me more than anyone I know how to walk towards God everyday...I know that no matter how old I am, I will always be able to look at him for direction as I try to follow God in my own walk and I am so thankful for that!!
I truly feel blessed beyond measure!! Happy Father's Day to my three favorite dads!!!
