Happy Father's Day!
We had a very lovely day. Daddy fixed everyone breakfast, our Sunday ritual. We did some vacuuming, played with Emma a little while and then she went to bed. We tidied the front porch and got the house in order. Around 2:00 p.m. Noni and Popi came over. We hung out in the back yard while Emma played with her sandbox and water table. Then Daddy got the pool ready. After a bit of coaxing Emma got in and joined the fun. It was great entertainment for all.

After pool time Emma played with her wagon in the house and then we moved to the front porch. Popi and Daddy pushed Emma in her swing. She was one spoiled tot. They finally lulled her into dreamland but when the ride stopped she woke up. I carted her up to bed for a short nap before supper.

Our Father's Day meal consisted of grilled filet mignon, mashed potatoes, cooked Vidalia onions, broccoli and cheese sauce and crescent rolls. For desert we had chocolate chip cookies, by Daddy's request. For gifts Popi received a gift certificate from the store and a picture and Daddy received his pizza stone and some cash to buy concrete.

After dinner we chilled out in the living room while Emma practiced jumping and played with her toys. Noni and Popi stayed long enough for bath and bedtime and then headed back over the mountains on their motorcycle. All in all it was a very nice day.
