Father's Day weekend


since we had such a tiring week with chicken pox, derek decided to put off his work until next saturday and took a family day this saturday. derek got started working on our front yard. diedre was well enough to putter around with him.

lots of spots...so much healing to go.

Father's Day

diedre presents the gift to daddy. derek is such a great dad. he is fun, caring, positive, kind, verbally tells the kids how much he loves them and how special they are on a regular basis, is very involved with bedtimes and mornings and diaper changes and baths. i am so happy that my kids have him as their dad. he totally impresses me. Happy Father's day honey.

ezekiel takes off with daddy's jelly beans.

we headed off to my parents house after church.

diedre wanted to ride together in the car.

dad wanted to get derek's help in building a set of stairs.



ezekiel grabbed this big branch after derek and pepere pruned it.

wheelbarrow ride

diedre wanted both kids together. its so nice to see the kids playing together again after so many days of not feeling up to it.

when it came time to leave, diedre said she didnt want to leave, so derek (probably joking) said she could stay. both my parents were not working the next day so they agreed and they kept her for a sleepover. so now i'm trying to plan some fun things for ezekiel and i to do today :)

thanks for all the thoughts and encouragement this week. i am thankful the kdis got the chicken pox and will be immune from them now. it was terrible but at least its over (sort of) now.
