father's day weekend

This Father's Day was fun because it was Nick's first. We had plans with our  extended families most of the weekend, but we were able to spend a nice morning together as just a family of three on Saturday. We packed a picnic lunch and headed out to do a short hike around a local lake. Hayden enjoyed the hike from his front pack vantage point and was especially interested in watching some turtles swim in the lake. His favorite part, of course, was lunch time. This kid loves his food! 

...And his Dada. It's been such an amazing year watching the relationship between Hayden and Nick grow stronger and stronger. Hayden is a mama's boy, but there's no denying that he's got an extra special place in his heart for Dada. Whenever Nick gets home from work, Hayden hears his keys in the door and he starts giggling like crazy and giving me this look like, "Can you believe it?! Dada is home!" Then he grins ear from ear and tries to launch himself into Daddy's arms. It's one of my favorite parts of the day, watching those two together.

 How very blessed I am to share my life with these two boys.
