Father's Day weekend













Dan barely ever has an entire 4-day weekend to himself. Those precious 4-day weekends that come twice a month usually dwindle down to a 2-day weekend or even a 1-day weekend with working his days off half the time. But, this weekend was awesome. A 4-day weekend combined with it being Father's Day weekend meant it was a fun time.

Despite the ugly weather for two of the four days, we had a great weekend. We ended up going to Hershey last minute on Friday, had a birthday party for a little girl from Maddie's dance class on Saturday, and went to Nene's to celebrate Father's Day with everybody. Needless to say, the girlies had an awesome 4 days.

We never figured we would be able to do something as exhausting as going to an amusement park so early on in Abrie's life, but we definitely accomplished it thanks to Abrie's personality. The girl is something else. She is our little darling. I tell Maddie and Faith all the time to thank their baby sister because it's usually hard to do so many things with a tiny infant that they have still been able to do since her birth. We haven't really missed a beat since having our little Breezer. She doesn't seem to mind all the commotion of going from here to there, which wouldn't have ever been possible when Faith was Abrie's age-- or even Maddie for that matter. Abrie just slept almost the entire time we were at Hershey, and when she woke up she was so content to watch her big sisters having a blast and sit with either Dan or myself. We're wondering now if maybe a trip to the beach or other little day trips will actually be possible this summer with our three sweet girls. 

Veronica's birthday party was so fun. Veronica is Maddie's shy friend from dance class that also loves the Beebster. Faith was literally the 8th girl in that class. They loved her. So, she was invited as well which I thought was so sweet. They had a blast! It was supposed to be at French Creek, but because of the horrible weather, it was at Veronica's house. They had a clown who did balloon art and face painting which they just loved. They had a pinata too and got little treat bags. They were in heaven. The best part is that they just play so well with their friends Veronica and Ciara (another little girl from dance). Abrie slept the entire time until the last 30 minutes or so and then was sitting there with us just watching everybody.

And, on Sunday we gave Dan his video and then went to Nene and Grampa's house. These girls love every second spent with their family. Their bond is intense, and I love when everyone is together. We had a wonderful cookout, and a wonderful Father's Day. Moments together are priceless for me.
