Father\’s Day

Yesterday we celebrated my first father’s day which was pretty cool… it started out with a tasty ham and cheese omelette plus a pancake (I splurged) and our favorite breakfast joint, followed up by a nice walk down Bozeman’s main street. We got home and the girls surprised me with some gifts: a great picture + frame of my dad and me, a card with pics of the girls and Mystique, and a canopy for our mower so my poor, unprotected head doesn’t get sunburn. I also got a cool mug with the girls’ picture on it earlier in the week, so I made out pretty nicely. The rest of the day was just as great, so thanks to everyone!

It’s a monday so I’m just hanging out with the girls… been a nice morning so far, no big complaints yet from the girls, but that’s par for the course. We went for a walk today in the beautiful Bozeman weather and managed to get about half-way through the walk before Lela decided that she was hungry and started a bit of squawking to let me know. I got home just in time to fix her a bottle before she really let loose, so it turned out to be a great walk (although I did have to do a bit of jogging at the end but that didn’t kill me despite how I felt when I got home).

Tomorrow (the 21st) will be the girls’ six-month birthday. Pretty darn amazing… last week Mystique and I went through the emotional roller-coaster of watching some of the original videos of the girls. I still can’t believe everything that they went through and it’s just so great to see them doing so well. Every day brings something different and it’s just a joy to be a part of it.

I’m gonna go before I start talking about my feelings and turn into that sap we all know I am :-)
