Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the Fathers out there - especially ours! Kasper made sure to love on his Papa - his Papa had a hard week.

I came home from work on Monday and Rob met us in the garage (he was home early because he had spent his day at continuing education). He looked terrified and said he had just seen the weirdest thing ever. He whipped off his shirt and he was crooked!! Like his upper body didn't match up with his lower body anymore and he was walking like Quasimodo. It was crazy. He said his back was sore but he assumed it was from bike riding. We immediately called Steph (who's a PT) and she came right over after work. She did some stretches and he was much better by the end of the night. He went to a PT appointment later in the week and it sounds like it was a series of stress-related spasms or something. Whatever it was, he had a pretty miserable week.

This helped


Wednesday night Grandma Sandra stayed over. She headed out in the morning for Las Vegas. She was Kasper's best friend for the evening. (You can see how Rob's torso leans to one side)



Friday night pizza. This is the messiest he's been for a long time.


After K went to bed Friday and since I had my sister over, I FINALLY got my summer mantle finished. (It irks me to no end that this room has NO light at all despite the huge south-facing windows.)

My Mom, sister and I made the bunting with my growing vintage sheet stash.

I brought in some orange as the accent color and the new little painting of Lois we got fit right in.

I ordered it a month or so ago from a place called The Pet Shop. I've read their blog for awhile and always wanted one and when they announced that they were updating their shop and raising prices I snagged one. In fact, Lois is on their website! Click here and check out the third picture.

After getting the all clear to ride his bike, Rob rode it to work yesterday morning - 32 miles! He had some things to get done so spent the morning there. After Kasper's nap we loaded in the car to go pick him up and have lunch. Kasper asked to wear a hat.

He's making quite the fashion statement! And see his fingers? They are always crossed lately.

K had a great time at the office. He's a natural.



Last night for dinner I made BBQ chicken sammies which everyone should make immediately. They were amazing. Kasper loved them, which was awesome. Since we didn't really have anything we HAD to get done last night we played Donkey Kong on the Wii. It was so fun.

This morning was lazy and perfect. Rob got his first Father's Day gift - reading in bed with the boy.



The dog also got the gift of quality time with the boy. I don't think she enjoys it as much as we do.





We threw on some shoes and headed out to get Rob his second gift of the day -- a treat from our favorite place YoYo Donuts!

We thought we were nice and early - it was before 8 am - but there was already a line! It was pretty cute, mostly Moms and babes in pjs picking up doughnuts for Dad. We even ran into one of the other attorneys at Rob's firm.

Next up - breakfast outside.



Kasper and Lois started Rob with a "Beer of the Month" club complete with tasting journal.


We played around outside on the deck since it was BEAUTIFUL out.

Kasper took the Wii-motes for a walk.


After K's morning nap (he's been asking for 2 naps for the last month or so and takes long ones) we loaded in the car and went to - guess. THE ARBORETUM!! This time we brought the stroller and went for a run along the 3 mile drive. The weather was perfect and it was a nice peaceful run, if not a little too hilly. At least we switched it up this time!

It was perfect timing because as soon as we were in the car heading home it started to rain and has been raining ever since. It's a nice excuse to cuddle up this evening before the week starts again.

Hope everyone had a great week!
