Daddy's Weekend

If there is one word we hear A LOT around our house, it is definitely "Daddy" or "Da-da." Jeremiah is most definitely a daddy's boy! This morning after I got Jeremiah up and in his high chair for breakfast, he noticed a shirt of Adam's hanging on the back of the dining room chair. And he proceeded to exclaim "Da-da! Da-da!" and had like a 5 minute conversation with that shirt, as if I wasn't even there! What am I, chopped liver? Sheesh.

But really, I love to see the relationship between Jeremiah and Adam. Adam is such a good Daddy and we are so thankful to have him in our lives! So, this past weekend we had a nice Daddy's weekend for Adam.

On Friday morning, Adam and Jeremiah went over to Jeremiah's daycare to have "Donuts with Dad" for breakfast. And he was presented with a cute travel coffee mug with pictures of Jeremiah on it!

Later that morning we headed over to the Blank Park Zoo. I have been to a lot of zoos in my life, and this one is relatively small. But with a toddler, it was perfect! We covered most of it in an hour and a half, had lunch, and headed home for J's nap (of course he zonked out in the car!).


Jeremiah feeding the fish.

Yes, I had nightmares about my little boy falling into that pool of horrid looking fish, and I did have a tight, death-grip on the strap of his sun suit.

He's a goat lover! He thinks they are strange looking dogs.

We tried for a paci-free family picture by the only elephant at the zoo, but Jeremiah is just too darn quick!

Daddy, Jeremiah, and a dinosaur. Our zoo might not have animals like elephants and bears, but at least we have dinosaurs!

And a stop for lunch before heading home.

Saturday was spent getting things done around the house, Skyping with G & G Wiers, and mowing the lawn (so Jeremiah was happy!). In the evening we gathered with our church small group for a fabulous BBQ-- lots of fun for all of us!

On Sunday before church, Jeremiah presented Adam with some Father's Day gifts:

The travel mug, a Home Depot giftcard, and some books (one of which I...um, I mean Jeremiah, made on Shutterfly).

Sunday evening our church had a "Father's Day Swim" at the Clive Aquatic Center. Jeremiah had a blast!







Happy Father's Day, Adam-- we love you! :)
