Father's Day

This year Father's Day was very peaceful and pleasant. With Kimball done with all of his tests, he was beside himself with free time. He kept going over all the things he wants to get done around the house during his break...I swear he's not comfortable with himself unless he is under some sort of stress. Anyway, after church we all took a nap, then had some friends over for dinner, afterward Kimball opened his gifts (a new drill!!!) and we had ice cream sundaes. This Father's Day was different in that I really felt very thankful for how hard the dads in my life really work, not that I've never felt that way before, but just more so this time. I love you Kimball, my deepest gratitude belongs to you for everything you do to be the dad you are in our family.
