We had a wonderful time in Austin last weekend celebrating my Dad for Father's Day. We drove down on Thursday night. On Friday, we walked, parked and swam. On Saturday, my Dad and Christy rented a pontoon boat for us to cruise around Lake Travis. What a blast! We played in the sand, swam, talked wedding dresses with Anne (when the boys were NOT around), ate, lost some valuables, and saw some mighty big catfish. Then we swam some more at their community pool (where we tried to seriously embarrass ourselves and succeeded!, but didn't really mind). On Sunday, we all got to hear my Dad preach (sidenote – his church has 4 services over the weekend, so he preached 4 times!, but we only went once). I always love to hear him and I always learn from his message…it was a treat. Then Christy hosted a wonderful lunch for all of us. I enjoy my family so much and especially love carefree weekends such as these to relax and enjoy one another.

And, most importantly, we celebrated the Dad's in our lives. It was wonderful to spend Father's Day with my Dad…those opportunities are rare and treasured. He is a man of great faith, integrity and love. I appreciate his insight, his kindness, his generosity and his compassion for my family. He is adored as "Papa C" by his three grandsons and I adore him too!
We also celebrated sweet Derek – who I appreciate so much as a father. He is the patriarch of our home and I feel so privileged to have him as my children's dad. We gave him a "coupon" book from us, full of fun activities and treats that he can redeem throughout the summer. The boys love him…I love him and we appreciate all he does for our family.
How sweet is this picture…??
And because he will one day soon (say a little prayer) make a fantastic father (and she a magnificent mother), and because they are just so beautiful…here's a pic of my brother and SIL, Michael and Olivia.
