My husband Rick is really an amazing dad. He looks forwards to seeing his kids. He loves spending time with them. And he can be with all four of them for about 3 minutes before his blood pressure starts to spike. But those first three minutes are very serene.
I decided a few weeks ago, that I wanted to make him one of those sweet, sentimental photo books. You know, pictures of him with our kids over the past 7 1/2 years.
I can’t believe we have been parents for almost 8 years. I mean, that’s like a decade if decades were a hair shorter.
Anyway, I knew Rick would love a photo book.
Obviously, I can’t show you the whole thing but here is the cover….
Okay, I got him shorts and a shirt from The Gap.
Honestly, I didn’t even log on to Shutterfly to begin the photo book.
But seriously, what says I love you more than double pocket cargo shorts?!
Nothing obviously.
After I lavished him with gifts, we took a time machine back to 1994 and went roller blading. I don’t understand why this sport has lost its luster. It doesn’t hurt your knees like running or your va-jay-jay like biking. Let’s all make a renewed commitment to do more roller blading.
And then we ended the day at the beach.
This is Rick’s serenity.
We love you. xo

LOVE IT! So sweet! And SO REAL!
I can be around my kids about three seconds before I start micromanaging everything.
Thank god it’s my much more go-with-the-flow husband who stays at home with the kids or they’d all be neurotic from my obsessive attempts at control.
You’re an awesome wife. My husband bought his own presents!
When he doesn’t he also gets the cargo shorts – although I throw in socks and jocks too, just coz he deserves extra loving.
I’m so glad you didn’t say the actual V-word when talking about the problems with bike riding because then this blog would be censured in Michigan. Cargo shorts are really always appropriate and dads need lots of pockets, so it’s a win-win on that one. Happy day.
Mine too — beaches and roller blading, ahhh
Happy Belated Father’s Day Rick :-). Sounds like it was a good day. xo
ha ha ha… SAME THING here… no sentiment… just clothes. No blading or beach though,so essentially you win.
Haha who needs a photo book, when there’s gap (I need to get into advertising right?). What a perfect day x
We got Larry ties…LOTS of ties…
I actually asked my ex for full custody on Father’s day, so Rick should be very happy he got cargo pants from the GAP.
