Sunday we celebrated Jason's first Father's Day! We spent time together as a family and later spent time with Jason's family. Evan made daddy a personalized calendar to hang up at work. He has been making comments about wanting a photo for his desk of Evan and I - so we went and got our pictures taken together, too. They turned out sooo good! I have been waiting to post them so they would be a complete surprise to Jason. Evan also made both grandpa's a stepping stone with his footprints! They turned out way better than I had planned, but only after a little chaos and switch to plan B.

Jason has done really well adjusting to being a father. There is always room for improvement on both of our ends, but we are simply learning and taking one day at a time. I love that they boys are able to spend quality father and son, the nights that I work. Evan loves his daddy and smiles in his presence. In fact, my most favorite picture is posted above. Jason is reading his Father's Day card and Evan is looking at him and smiling .... PRICELESS! This is what makes it all worth the hard times - which are becoming much less frequent.

I know that I look forward to spending many more special days together as a family. Mother's Day and Father's Day are 'made up' holidays to make the industry money - however, we will always celebrate and honor these special days. It was a long journey to be able to call ourselves Mommy and Daddy! We have only been parents for 3 months, but I have learned just how hard of a job parenting can be. But after it is all said and done, it is a blessing to have those experiences! It is hard to see that when you are going through a difficult time, but once the fog clears, it is a great experience!!! Happy Father's Day Jason!!!!
