Father's Day!

SUNDAY was Father's day!  David had to lead worship so I got up extra early to make him his Father's day breakfast.  It worked out because Haley also got up early.  She and Daddy had pancakes, eggs, and bacon together for breakfast.  Emily slept in a little longer and then she got up and I fed her some pancakes.  David left for church and the girls and I got ready.  We were right on schedule to arrive to church on time but then Emily booed and we had to stop and change her diaper.  It was only a minor setback I guess.

Haley did really well in church with me and Emily.  David has stopped holding her at all when he doesn't have to play so she doesn't get used to being held during the service.  She was even saying some of the liturgy with me, I guess she's started to memorize it.  After church the Freemans invited us to eat with them at a little Mexican restaurant called Pollo Cacuchon.  There were two other families coming and it was Father's day so I left the decision entirely up to David.  He said he wanted to go so we ran the guitar home and then went and ate with everyone.

The Freemans are the ones who have the eight year old son named Owen whom Haley is currently obsessed with.  When we got there the open seat for her was right to him, it must have been her dream come true.  She asked for the Ipad once while we were there but I told her 'no' and she never asked again.  She spent most of the time talking to Owen and eating chips and rice.  I decided that we need to take Owen along everytime we eat out.  Emily had fallen asleep on the way to the restaurant and she slept for the first twenty minutes or so that we were there and then woke up and got passed around.

After lunch we came home and put the girls down for naps.  Emily was not super tired after her mini-nap at the restaurant so she took a little while to calm down and fall asleep but eventually she dozed off when David put the sound machine in with her.  She was playing and babbling in her crib and at one point David went in there and she had pulled herself up and was standing in there holding onto the rail.  Time to lower the crib!  Emily's playing kept Haley up a little later so I ended up waking Haley up around 4:30 so she would be able to go to sleep at a normal time and Emily slept until after five.

When they woke up we skyped in on Aunt Adj. and Uncle Jesse's gender reveal party for baby #3!  It was so cool to be in on the party.  Adj had gone to a Carter's store and picked out some boy and girl outfits.  Then she gave the unopened envelope to the cashier who opened it and saw the gender and then wrapped up the clothes that went with the gender and hid the others under the register.  I guess Adj. also brought the gift bag and everything.  Anyways, cousin Isa opened the present to reveal a bunch of boy baby clothes!  New baby boy Higgins is due to arrive in August!  We stayed on and talked for a little bit and then I started dinner.

I grilled some brots for dinner, it was my first time ever using the grill and I have to say that it was so easy.  I guess I thought it was hard because men always do it but it's actually rather a joke to operate.  I had made a funfetti cake for dessert which was a good preview for Emily's first Birthday in September.  I do not think she will disappoint as far as cake-eating goes.  She was a mess and so was Haley actually.

Oh, I forgot, right before dinner we had skyped Mimi and Pops to tell Pops happy father's day.  We did it in the girl's room and David lowered Emily's crib while we were talking.  Haley kept showing off for Mimi and Pops by jumping on her bed, bring books over to the computer, and putting on random shoes from her closet.  It was cute and everything but I'm sure Mimi and Pops got a little tired of hearing "Mimi look, Pops look!"  Emily seemed unfazed by the skype session, I think she was a little grouchy that her crib was getting lowered.  After dinner we let the girls play with toys for a while and then we put them to bed.

Haleyism:
Haley had to use the bathroom and she had leaked a couple drops in her panties and David was telling her not to pee pee in her panties and Haley said, 'Shh, Daddy, Emily's sleeping!"  The sad part is, she was.

Emilyism:
Emily can climb one of our stairs in the den.  She gets stuck when she tries to climb the second one.
