Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day Lee!  No, you didn't miss it.  Actually, you have a few days left to plan that special something for your favorite Dads in you life!  Because of our schedule we won't be able to properly celebrate this special day with Lee, so we decided to hold it a week early.

Lee is very easy to please for breakfast.  He LOVES cereal.  I mean, REALLY loves cereal.  He quite enjoyed having cream on his cereal Sunday morning too. 


Some of the kids made cards and Haley made a banner (with a little help from me).


Something else Lee likes is Oreos, though you can't really see them here.  But he loves cereal even more than Oreos.


Cal made a cute card for Lee to hold up to a mirror to read it.


Little notes from our kids are so cute.  I love them.


I bought this glasses holder back in March in Ellicott City, Maryland.  It's one of those things that when I saw it, "Lee" was written all over it.




The kids thought it was pretty cute too.




Lee and his kiddos!  He'll have to tell you what he thinks about fatherhood, but I know he enjoys it and loves his kids.  HAPPY FATHER'S DAY LEE!!!  We've had our ups and downs, but it sure it great being married to my best friend.


That Sunday we visited a friend in a nursing home while Lee was at meetings.  We saw a bunch of carriages heading home, I suppose.  I'm guessing an old order Mennonite church had recently finished their services.


That night Cal and Clark had a court of honor.  Cal's first as a new boy scout!


Clark completed Star rank! YAY!  He also was in charge of conducting the presentation and retiring of the colors, and handing out advancements.  He is the Senior Patrol Leader!  I received mother's pins from both boys. I have this nifty ribbon "necklace" that the boys can pin their pins onto, instead of my shirt.  Cal also helped post and retire the colors. 


And thanks to an 11 year-old scout camp and Cal's awesome scout leader, he was able to get Scout Rank right away.  The new scouting requirements are harder and more involved.  I am glad Clark's requirements aren't as difficult.  Wonder if it will change before Elden enters or not.  Whatever book you start with in Scouts is the one you stay with the whole way through.  They came out with new books, which included new requirements late last year. 


Overall it was a nice Sunday.  A young man received his Eagle Scout at the court of honor also.

Again, Happy Father's Day Lee!  And a big happy Father's Day to my dad and father-in-law.  We're so blessed from all they taught us about work, service, and loving the Lord.
