Father's Day

Yeah, I'm a little behind again! But I wanted to post these pics of Father's day anyway. I'll say first of all that this was the day that Shawn, Nathan and I headed off to Las Vegas for our church planting assessment. So, our celebration had to be brief! The kids and I had worked on 2 projects for Father's Day this year. Since we are downsizing for the move, I hated to buy anything for Shawn that wasn't a need. So, instead we decided to make him a video for his present. It was a kind of video interview of each of the kids done by yours truly! Shawn says often that he wants to record the kids voices because they are so cute :) I asked them questions like, "What do you love most about daddy? What's daddy's favorite food to eat? What's daddy's job?" The answers were really cute and I think Shawn really loved it. The other present was a can of goodies. I emptied out a pop top soup can by opening the bottom with a can opener. It kept the pop top in tact, and then I reattached the bottom after putting some of his favorite treats inside( Skittles, gum, etc) We decorated the can so he could use it as something to hold pencils in later.
I'm so thankful for the man God has shaped my hubby into. He is a terrific dad and the kids not only adore him, but they respect and trust him. I can't imagine doing this without him!!
