Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's day to all the dads out there. We had a great day in our family. Hard to believe that 2 years ago we spent father's day in the ER tending to a malfunctioning shunt. Today was so much better than that! Hard to beat that, too! Ha ha.

So we had a rough night with Sam up between 3 and 5:30 last night. I tended to her so that Dad could sleep for father's day. Then she finally went back to sleep at 5:30 and slept A WHOLE HOUR! Wow, big deal. So at 6:30 I gave up and took her to our bed, where she happily went to sleep. Mom and Dad got up at 9 (how glorious) and left sleeping beauty to sleep while we got ourselves ready to go out to breakfast. At 9:30 we woke her up and got her ready and headed ot breakfast in Amherst. We had a wonderful breakfast, and Sam was in a fantastic mood and ate her blueberry pancakes (a favorite!).

After breakfast we went to a playground and did some swinging and then mom and dad took turns taking Sam down the tunnel slides. She LOVED that. We had a blast. Then it was home, feed Sam lunch and head off to nap. She didn't go to sleep for a while, and ended up taking a late nap. We woke her up at 5 to go meet her grampy and gammy (K) for dinner. She had a blast at dinner too and ate her mac and cheese (just the way Kraft makes it!) and cheesecake, of course. It was great because she was starting to have some difficulties with eating chunks of things, and i was getting so worried, but after changing her reflux meds, things have been going so much better. No gagging, no puking. YAY!! It is wonderful not to be so tense at every meal! She was so happy. So we were all happy.

Then home to get ready for bed. And she is fast alseep.

It is so nice...

A wonderful day for dad, and for us. A day that makes you so grateful for all that you have.

So, happy father's day to all you dads out there.
