Happy Fathers' Day
We are a low-commitment family when it comes to things like Fathers' Day. But I did think that it would be nice to bring Jeremy some yummy coffee later and let him sleep in a bit (he sleeps in every day actually, but I decided not to feel at all bitter about it in honour of the day). Not meant to be.
While passing the time painting my toenails I somehow managed to throw an entire bottle of nail polish up into the air, resulting in Jackson-Pollockesque stains in deep red ALL OVER me, the futon, my clothing and several cushions. Jeremy woke up to the sounds of me hollering for help. So Fathers' Day noteworthy events #1 and #2 for him were 1) wake up with a start and 2) discover that your wife has ruined a couch.
We then went to church, which was great, and Jeremy decided that he would like to go out for sushi for lunch for Fathers' Day. This too was not meant to be. Teg was unusually tired and collapsed on the way home. No sushi. Just homemade sandwiches, while the kiddo slept.
We decided to spend the afternoon celebrating Fathers' day by participating in one of the great American recreational pasttimes: we went to Target. And to Best Buy to buy a TV card (so that I can feed my So you think you can dance fetish). Fathers' day event #3: we went shopping.
While at Target we decided to forego the option of a sushi dinner out, and instead spent the money on a giant bean bag for Teg's new room. But I guess that's what being a parent is all about, isn't it? Somehow it seemed fitting that Fathers' Day landed up with Jeremy making a self-sacrificial choice as a Daddy to do something nice for his kiddo...
... but of course, that's not to say there was no positive payoff for Daddy. So here's the video footage of Fathers' Day event #4:
Happy Fathers' Day, Jeremy :-)

Love the sound of Tegwyn giggling in the video!!! There is something about a child's laugh--so innocent, naive, and carefree...
So from your previous blog, Tegwyn will no longer have Noah as her companion, huh? Well, I suppose we'll just have to wait for the arrival of her younger sibling then! =)
