Happy Father's Day!

Well Rich is sleeping soundly and it's 6:30 am...I got up at 5:30, Reilly was stirring and crying in her sleep, but can you believe he offered to get with her? I said "it's Father's Day! No way!" and he said something like "you need your sleep"...so sweet! But of course I was releived it was finally morning so I could get out of bed and move around. More importantly, I was super excited to get his Father's day gift together (well that and maybe drink my coffee in silence and have a big piece of the chocolate chip banana bread my niece Kennedy baked for me and brought this weekend- yum :). Luckily Reilly is still snoozing so I am getting to do all of these things in silence. Except for the buzzing of an annoying fly, but that's a different post!

So after much waiting and waiting I can finally reveal his Father's day gift! He told me a few things he wanted for father's day, one I got, one I didn't. I finally engraved the Tiffany money clip I bought him (probably for Father's day last year), but it's not ready yet. The watch band, not so much. Besides that his only request was to not have ANY plans to do anything, just let the day take us where we feel like going, and I am not allowed to rush him at all (something I am normally very good at). So I PROMISE to abide by all of those requests. But I did do something special and I hope he really loves it!

I had a photographer (someone in my neighborhood) come out and take pictures of Reilly and I last week. The pics turned out fantastic, and I have been hiding them all week. I just framed a bunch of them and have them laid out on the dining room table. Can't wait to show them to him, finally! I even had her do "pregnancy pics" of me (which I NEVER thought to do- but thank you Tina for convincing me), she airbrushed out my stretchmarks so it's not too embarrassing to show :) So without further ado, here are some of the shots I love. I'll post more once I can get them from the site! Enjoy! And Happy Father's Day to my wonderful husband who deserves every second of relaxation he gets today. And to my Dad, who got to spend part of the weekend with us and we had a blast. And to all of the other "fathers" in our life, we love you all (though you probably aren't reading this because probably only girls take the time to actually read blogs, but whatever). Happy Father's Day from us :)
