A Perfectly Imperfect Father's Day!

Yeah, I know Father's Day was yesterday. We made our obligatory calls and well-wishes to our dads and Grampa's to let them know how special they are to us. Unfortunately for the girls, their Daddy was working yesterday. They were bummed that Andy wasn't home for Father's Day, but they were more bummed simply because he wasn't home. See, he'd worked all weekend so they hadn't seen him since bedtime Friday night. That gets to be a long weekend for 3 Daddy-loving little girls (and a REALLY long weekend for their Mom)

Anyway, the girls had elaborate, surprise plans for when Daddy came home late yesterday afternoon. We were going to take him fishing. Nope-a storm blew through. We were going to take him to see Kung Foo Panda. Nope-he didn't make it in time. We were going to grill hamburgers, his favorite. Nope-see above about the storm blowing things around. So the girls decided we'd order in his favorite pizza and play some games after he read their cards (he accidentally saw his present Thursday night). He loved the day and only wished he could have been home for the whole time. Now, if you want to see something beautiful, look below. Like The Nester says, "It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful."

Alayna's card she made for Daddy-the picture is the two of them together

Lilly's card-she did it all by herself with the exception of me telling her what letters. The pictures are of Daddy riding horse and the birds who have a nest on our porch. :-)

And Lilly's picture she colored for him. She was supposed to draw something that DW is balancing on. So when Andy said, "What is DW balancing on?" Lilly looked at him funny and said, "Um, her toes!"

We love you Daddy, Dad L, Dad J and Grampa L! We hope you all had great Father's Days!
