A Father's Day Weekend

Despite being sick this past weekend, we were able to get some quality Dad time, whether it be in person or via phone/skype.  My parents were in town Thursday through Saturday because my Dad had some business meetings down here.  We were able to take my Mom and Dad out to breakfast at one of our favorite patios on Saturday before they left town.  I wish I had gotten a picture of all of us while we were there.

We weren't quite sure how we would spend Father's Day - especially after Jackson got into a fight with the neighbor's pitbull and we spent Saturday night at the emergency pet hospital - but The Hubs woke up with a good idea.  He wanted to start a family tradition for Father's Day, and so we put our First Annual Beer, Brats, Baby and Baseball plan into action. 

Our day started out with Grayson falling asleep after his first wake up at 6:15, and sleeping until 9:30!  What a great gift to start off the day.  We went to our favorite breakfast taco restaurant for some delicious breakfast before we headed to the grocery store for our brats.

Once we got home, Grayson was asleep in the car, so he made the transfer to his crib (love it when that happens!) and proceeded to sleep for about 2 1/2 hours!  That gave P enough time to sneak in a good nap as well.  While they were both sleeping, I made baby food for the week.  When everyone woke up, it was time for our first annual celebration, and I tried to document it all.

As a side note, we don't usually eat meals in our room, but our living room TV is on the fritz (again!), so this was our only option.  We set Grayson up in his Bumbo with the tray and fed him his lunch as well.  This year he was not able to have brats (obviously), but he enjoyed some mango yogurt and cinnamon pears.
Later that afternoon, we Skyped with my in-laws and let them see everything that Grayson has been up to lately.  It is so much easier for him to pull up on things since they saw him last.  His crawling has gotten about 100% faster as well.  They were impressed - but I guess they have to be - he is their only grandkid ;)

 Happy Father's Day P!  We are so lucky to have you.  :)
