happy father's day

here are greta and otto making a father's day card for their papa. this lasted for about a minute and a half. then otto started throwing crayons....which made greta cry because she was trying to color. and then otto was crying because he wanted the crayons again....to throw on the floor. maybe trying to color a picture together immediately after naptime but BEFORE snack wasn't such a good idea. happy father's day to the best papa around!

father's day

a belated father's day wish for my papa....

even though mommy is super late blogging this, i just wanted to wish you a happy father's day. you are the best papa i could ever ask for. i love when you take me on walks and to the bagel shop. i love when you let me play with your phone and your computer. i think the songs you make up and sing to me are the best songs ever. i like to hang out with you and dance and play games and look at books. i especially like when you feed me. thanks for being my papa.

love greta.....

father's day craft

so greta did her first craft this past week. she and ella got together (along with janet and me) and made a craft for their dads for father's day. we stripped them down to their diapers and did handprints and footprints in paint. pretty fun. not as messy as it sounds. clearly at this stage in their lives it was more for our enjoyment than the babies. but the final craft turned out supercute, and i think joe loved it. i took the prints and cut them out and framed them around a picture of joe and greta together. normally i'm not too crafty, but i have to say it was fun. plus, who doesn't love seeing naked babies??!! they were so cute sitting together at the table, except for when greta tried to poke ella's eye out. anyway, happy father's day!!

Father's Day

Got to spend my first "father's day" today. I guess it counts, but I suppose next year will be my first official father's day.

Of course, for my first father's day my lovely wife was living it up in Las Vegas for a bachelor party... how sweet :)

She did leave a father's day present behind and it'll be fun. Got a picture frame with 'Daddy's Little Girl" on it... pretty funny.... also got a gift certificate for Blue Ash golf course. Tony, Brent and Scott also got the golf gift certificate so the four of us can join in on some "Father's Golf". That should be fun, and perhaps a tradition was just born?

My mom also got me a father's day gift chock full of stuff for the new baby. Some books for baby products, pampers, etc... Just a little kick-start to the baby registry we'll need to do before too long.
