father's day

I realize that yesterday was Father's Day and I haven't posted anything regarding it but it's 7:30am the day after Father's Day and I'm just getting a chance to sit at my computer.. when actually I shouldn't even be sitting here to begin with right now. Will and I are being picked up in 30 minutes bound for PA to visit my bro & sis in law for the week. The kids are both sleeping still.. might be a good idea to get Will up and dressed?

I thought about Patrick throughout the day yesterday and what he may have been doing to celebrate his day. Golfing probably. I was wondering when the questions from Will might start or the awkward moments at school when they make Father's Day gifts for daddies. Well, it started. Will's teacher pulled me aside and asked what she should have Will do. She didn't want to confuse him and tell him it's for Daddy. I asked her to do whatever they were making for my dad, Will's "papa". So Will came home with this adorable paper tie that read "Happy Father's Day Papa". It hurts that he can't make one for his daddy. I mean, technically he could but he doesn't have a daddy to bring it home to. Will's up! Gotta get him ready!

Hey Erynn...I found your blog from another blog and have been sitting here reading about your life over the past year. I just want to say how sorry I am for the lose of your husband and Father in Law. They sound like amazing people as do you. I know words don't really help but I want you to know that you have helped me realize that I need to appreciate what I have more and not to take things for granted. Your children are adorable....I will keep you in my prayers. Don't let those dumb people who leave mean comments get you down. Some people honestly just don't know any better!!! Tammy

I'm so glad Will and Reese have Doug. Taylor's mom always got all the Father's Day cards in his family because she was a single mother. <3
