Fathers Day!

So Happy Fathers Day everyone! :)

I know....it's a few weeks late! Mark was away on travel the weekend of fathers day so we waited until he came home today to celebrate. We bought him a new computer game (some war plotting thing...cause you know...being in the Navy he doesn't get enough of THAT!) and the first season of Ghost Hunter. We also bought him two new dress casual shirts as usual! Some wasabi almonds and cherry gum balls were also included in a bag...then while he was gone, I bought a ceramic mug and a special pen and the kids each wrote a message on the mug, which I then baked in a low temp oven for an hour and that was his 'homemade' gift. We then all went out to Aroy Dy, the worlds BEST Thai food restaurant (although we have been told several times now about a place on Bainbridge Island that we are going to try out next week which is apparently even BETTER than Aroy Dy...so we'll let you know the verdict on that!). As I type this, Mark and Shelby are playing rummy. Shelby has talked to her dad every day since she's been here and told him "I love you" every day too! When she is at her moms she does not return his calls (six unreturned calls in the past two months, although we are quite sure Mary simply doesn't tell Shelby when Mark calls) or when they DO talk, she is almost silent and NEVER will say "I love you"....after all, that would anger her mom. So, it is always nice when she is with us that she can just love her dad AND her mom (she can call her mom whenever she wants when she is here!) and not have to feel guilty for loving them both!

So...Happy Fathers Day!

Hugs
