there is not much to say about father's day, except for that these kids have an exceptional father. anyone who knows john on a personal level knows he's a generous, affectionate, and patient (ok fine, one more - handsome too) person, and thankfully these qualities are huge strengths in parenthood. he changes more diapers, does more dishes, and washes more hair than i do...and he manages to work 2x as many hours as i do! talk about a dedicated father.
 |
| happy dada's day! |
 |
| perfect placement so dad can read the sign |
 |
| morning walk to get a bagel |
 |
opening gifts at home
(we were all excited about the little yellow bag from walgreens) |
 |
| hopped on the bus impulsively and headed to a new sandwich shop |
 |
| enjoying a night cap (ice cream) with his eldest (furriest) son |
 |
| we can't forget our wonderful fathers! |
 |
john and i like to think we turned out decently well,
and our fathers have been huge influences in our lives |
 |
two great friends (mary and lisa) both moving out of state within 2 weeks of each other
(exciting for them but so sad for me!!) |
 |
mary and i have been close friends since 6th grade
(she had baby ellie in april and is headed back to phoenix) |
 |
mary is a close friend of lisa's from college and
introduced us 3 years ago when she learned we were both pregnant w/ twins
(turns out we lived 2 blocks from each other in sf) |
 |
| the whole gang! |
 |
| farewell bbq in our backyard |
 |
JT managed to become the kids' entertainment
(i wonder if he does birthday gigs) |
 |
| who's going to win the big race? |
 |
| all smiles...something must be up |
 |
| thanking the man upstairs for great friendships |
 |
| it was silent for a good 3 minutes |
 |
| see in you new york, sizemore family! |
 |
| waiving good-bye to mary, duane, and ellie |
 |
until we meet again
(hopefully in the not-so-distant future) |
 |
i have afternoons with the kids on wednesdays and fridays,
and we tend to end up at a coffee shop for treats of milk and bagels |
 |

 |
| the finale of every saturday morning practice includes the beloved parachute |
