Father's Day Weekend

Let me start off by saying Cohen and Henry have the best dad in the world! David is the most devoted father and husband. He makes every day fun, adventurous and meaningful. This weekend was no exception. In the dead heat of summer, we lost our power for more than 24 hours. David made the most of the experience, smiled the whole time, kept me calm when I was about to lose my mind in the heat (and I did the same when he came close to losing his), and he made sure the boys didn't even notice that things were different. We are so lucky he takes such good care of our family!

David played a long round of golf on Saturday before the storm came through Charlotte. Once the power went out, we headed up to Smokehouse for dinner with the boys (along with the rest of the neighborhood), then played with Cohen in the dark until he finally fell asleep at 10 pm.

We did our best sleeping in the heat Saturday night. We all woke up bright and early Father's Day Sunday. We headed to Starbucks for much needed coffee then took a long walk through the neighborhood. Thank goodness for friends who are like family, the Brennans. We totally crashed Michael's first Father's Day and spent the entire day with them (fortunately, their house didn't lose power). We all went to the pool in the morning then hung out in their cool AC during the boys' naps. We grilled out and watched the US Open. Our power was finally restored around 8:30 pm (right after we put Henry to bed at the Brennans'!). It was a nice, relaxing day spent with the boys and our closest friends. We made the most out of the power outage and had a Father's Day we'll always remember! It was so much fun, we might just have a faux "Power Outage Party" every weekend!

Some pictures of the boys...

Henry likes to fly in the air now. It took a while for him to enjoy this.

Boy, does he enjoy it!

Cohen's new "thing" is eating popcicles in his Cars chair while watching Bubble Guppies.

Happy Father's Day!
