First Father's Day

We enjoyed great weather and an even greater Father's Day this past Sunday. I don't say it often enough, but my husband is the greatest Father on earth. He is a complete natural! Ever since we've been married Matt has been a kid magnet because he is so much fun. Now that we have Todd with us, he is in his element 24/7. I love when Matt puts Todd to down for a nap or to bed at night and it takes him twice as long because he just sits there and converses with Todd to the point that Todd is wide awake and laughing. He then remembers all too late that he is supposed to be putting the child to bed and so he sets up all sorts of decoys so that Todd doesn't freak out when he leaves. I love it that they can't get enough of each other. Matt, I love you and think you are the greatest dad.



This is my favorite picture from Father's Day. I gave Matt this great book "Tickle Monster" that also had "tickle mitts" that went along with it. Todd loved them.

So fun!!! I need a little inspiration to be better about photos and videos, so thanks - I loved the videos on the website, and it's so fun to see new pictures of Todd. I've been a blogger slacker these days and haven't checked enough to keep up here. I hope you're loving california, and adjusting quickly to life there and to being parents. For most people it takes some time to do both, but I know you're not just "most people". Love you guys!
