Father's Day

We had a really great first Father's Day.  Simon insisted we get Daddy a new tie which he proudly wore to church.  Then we came home for some quiet family time.  Simon was in a really good mood and Blaine took advantage.  He played with Simon while he was in his rocking chair and Simon ate it up.  Then we went to dinner with family and had a great time. 

I think Blaine would be the first to admit he struggled a bit the first few weeks with Simon.  It was an adjustment learning how to care for a newborn.  But since Mommy has gone back to work and the two of them get their alone time, they've really started to bond.  Then Father's Day and yesterday Simon was just so darn happy and good for Daddy it's all started to fall into place.  I had to get out the video camera on Father's Day because it was so neat to see Daddy and son have that much fun together.  There is so much love in our home.  It's getting really hard to go to work now that Simon is more alert and active and chipper.  He's such a blessing and a joy.
