It was a wonderful Father's Day for Brad! We started the morning off as we do every Sunday morning by attending Mass, followed by burgers in the church hall. We didn't do anything out of the norm during the day; visited my grandma, cleaned the house, played with Camilla, relaxed, and tried to stay cool in the 100+ degree weather. Our little baby has been napping so much lately, and I don't blame her since it's rare that the temperature is under the triple digits here in the Lubbock area.
My mom made fajitas for dinner and lemon meringue pie for desert for the family! It was delicious, and Brad really enjoyed it. It's always fun when all of us get together. Of course, Camilla steals all the attention at the dinner table because the whole family absolutely adores her.
Brad and I don't really like to spend money on each other for these occasions, so for Mother's Day he made me a card, and I made him an origami box with a letter and picture inside for today. Those are the gifts that really matter; the ones money can't buy.
When these important days take place it's nice to reflect on how far we've come. A year ago, it was hard to fathom having a baby, and now we can't imagine our lives without her. I remember last years Father's Day was not the best due to anxiety and fear of how our lives as parents would unfold. However, one year later it's good to know that those feelings have been replaced with love, happiness, and plenty of sweet memories. Overall, it was a wonderful day. Camilla is so fortunate to have Brad as a father.
