Father's Day 2008

First things first my camera my beloved camera in which I take all pictures for this blog and the camera in which I capture my children's moments is broken!  Can you hear me crying because I am!  It has been having this funny flashing light and it was having some trouble on our vacation but today it gave up.  Daddy did some research on the net and found that it is a common problem and can only be fixed by a professional...  At a minimum of $281.00 not $282 or $290 but $281.  I guess that's what happens when you buy a $2000 camera it costs a lot to fix.  We love our camera!

I woke Daddy up with breakfast in bed, an omelet and fresh fruit and hot coffee.  Then we went to church had a great service and came home had a little lunch.  We had a water balloon fight after that.  That's when we realized the camera was broken, because you all know I am a blogger and I would have given you pictures of our lovely water fun.   The kids all have a little bit of a cold, you know runny nose and sore throat but mostly really cranky, so we had them all take a nap before the rest of the family came over for dinner.  Even Luke who is almost 7 was asleep in 5 minutes.

Daddy and I sat out on our front porch, in our rocking chairs under the outdoor fan rocking and reading our books, it was so peaceful sitting in silence with my best friend the man who made me a mother, the man I love with all my heart, the most wonderful father.  We saw several humming birds and then our family arrived.

I made BBQ chicken and my famous beans, a big pot of collard greens and better than Robert Redford cake.  We all got really full and played a game of corn hole.  Corn hole is kind of like horse shoes, but you have two boards with holes in them set 30 feet apart and you toss corn filled bags at the hole trying to make it onto the board or in the hole.  

My Grandpa had very pressing matters today so he could not participate our corn hole battle, see Tiger Woods was playing golf and it is Fathers Day so we let him do what he loves watch golffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff  oh sorry I fell asleep just typing it...

All in all we had a great day!  Please keep Daddy in your prayers he has knee surgery on Tuesday morning.  I have been putting it off in my mind but its here ya'll so please pray for his safety and that he won't hurt to bad!
