What a dad!











Today we had our first family day as six, and what fun we had. Today Rich proved what it means to be a great dad. Rich and I were relaxing when we heard Christian crying - his boat got loose and was floating down the little river. Well, Rich got up and started trucking down the river after it, and it was going fast. He went after it, went out of sight and then we saw him return. He had the boat but he was missing something, his shoes. Only a great dad would go chasing after a two dollar boat, in freezing cold water (good thing we don't want a fifth) over very slippery rocks in order to make sure his little boy has his boat, even if his shoes are floating somewhere down stream.

It was so awesome to be out as family, to do something "normal" that didn't involve people googling over Callia. Don't get me wrong we love the googling but normal is good too. The boys had a great time trying to catch the little fish, floating the boats in the stream, digging holes, blowing dandelions and enjoying the sunshine in general. It's so much fun to watch them play together and to see them enjoying nature. I'm looking forward to the summer and having many more days like today.

It sounds like you guys had a fantastic day as a family! So fun to get outside! Soon Callia will be crawling around in the dirt with her brothers!
