Special June Days

We celebrated my birthday while on our beach trip and I was good  . . . but I got a call the day after we got home from D saying he got a babysitter for that night and we were going out for my birthday.  (:  He and the kids went to go get the babysitter and came home with this orchid plant.   Surprised me!  It is to live for weeks if you water it once a week or put in 3 ice cubes weekly (that's what I"m doing - see picture).  We went out to eat and then to see the movie "Annie" in an old refurbished theater.  (:  He had heard it advertised on the radio as we were driving home the day before (I was asleep) and he went and picked up tickets while he was out doing errands.  He really surprised me with the whole evening and it was very thoughtful !!!  ( I struggled to curb the stressed out mom anxiety with a list of 100 things to do when you return from vacation and just relax and accept kind gestures.)   
 For Father's Day - the kid's made D cards and took him breakfast in bed.  (:   He got a iPhone a few weeks ago that he thinks is awesome - "Happy Father's Day" I said!   
Z was happy to match D as usual for church!   (I brought home these ties from Taiwan).  Happy Father's Day D!!!   We love you and appreciate all you do for our family!!!!!
