A Father's Day in August

Today was quite the day of fathers for me.

Landen usually likes to sit on Kristi's lap for a while after he wakes up in the morning. Today Kristi was at work when Landen woke up. So Landen and I sat together on the couch for an hour this morning and watched Word World and Wow Wow Wubzy.

This afternoon my father-in law came over and helped me take a quickly-growing cottonwood tree down that was too near our shed. I haven't done much (if any) tree falling in my life (at least not that requires a chain saw.) I enjoyed this experience and working with Kristi's dad.

Tonight my dad arrived in Nappanee. He lives in Las Vegas and is in town for Nappanee High School's 50th class reunion. He took us out for supper at LaFogata. Back at home we watched the kids play in the driveway and watched the Olympics.

Days like this are few and far between for me. I'm glad I didn't miss appreciating what a special day it was.
