I have to tell you the truth about something buddy - Memorial Day has become a day off work and a grilling holiday for us rather than what it is intended to be. We should be celebrating all of those people out there who have served our country or are serving our country. While I think both your dad & I have a surface level appreciation for those folks, neither of our families are deeply involved in the military so we don't have a day to day connection to the military. But, we will have to do a good job of raising you to have a better awareness because each day we are here, it is due to some stranger out there protecting us! I did think that today would be a good day to remind you about some of your Grampas who did serve in the military. Great Grampa Lang, Great Grampa Faiman and Grampa Bob all served in the military in their younger days.
So, how exactly did we spend the day? Well, you slept all morning, went to Gramma Debbie's, went over Great Gramma's for a bit in the afternoon then fussed all night. I think you were so overtired from a long weekend and you were just fighting sleep! You were quite a handful once we got home from all of our errands. You ended up sleeping with us last night. For once, I didn't even notice you were with us - just felt your head in my back every once and awhile. Your dad was up a lot checking on you though :)
Tomorrow is Daddy's birthday but we have done a lot of celebrating already! I made him breakfast two days, he had his favorite cake, he had special ordered ice cream, we went to Outback, he got a card from you in the mail and we bought him a flying lesson where he will get to fly the plane. So, tomorrow, we will give him a happy birthday smooch, send him texts with photos during your photo shoot and that is it :) Next up - Father's day. Man, these back to back celebrations are difficult!
Here is your photo for today - you hanging out with daddy at outback!
