Life: Father's Day

Today is Ben's first Father's Day and to celebrate, we had lunch for him and my brother at my mom's. It was a wonderful meal and I ate way too much, as always. Later, we went over to my friend Sam's house for a dip in the pool and to hang out since she and her parents just got back from a vacation to England and Ireland. (yes, a tad jealous here) Even though Amelia was pretty fussy and cranky and I got this look a lot

it was a good time and I got some good sun which is always nice :)

Wait, here's a smile

and my two loves :)

The one thing that did keep Mia smiling were these two characters

Rudy- He would sneak (and by sneak I mean deliberately walk up and lick as many times as possible before someone yelled at him to stop) as many baby kisses as possible. He is so funny. He also LOVES to swim. Especially jumping in the pool and splash everyone.

And Buddy, who is too scared of Mia to get within 3 feet of her and who is also terrified of swimming. So he stands on the outside and catches water in his mouth that you splash at him.

All in all it was a very relaxing day and I hope Ben enjoyed his first Father's Day. I must say, Amelia has the best Daddy I could have ever imagined. Ben loves her so much it overwhelms my heart to see it. I mean, I knew the guy was a softy deep down, but this

this is something, you can't even explain. Pure, true, love. He tells me all the time just how incredible he thinks she is and I have to agree. She's amazing. And I'm not sure, but I think she really thinks he's awesome too
