First Father's Day

I recently came across a quote - "The best thing you can give your child is a good father" - I can't remember where I saw it but I made a point to remember it. I'm so proud of the father Billy has become. Max just adores his daddy and if you could see the look in Billy's eyes when he looks at Max it would melt your heart. Nothing makes me feel more at peace than seeing my two guys together. Sometimes I listen to them "talking" when I'm in the other room and I can tell that they already have a special bond. Good fathers make good sons and that makes me feel like one lucky momma :)

We kicked off the weekend at Brown's Irish Street Fair. It was a last minute decision, but we were so glad we decided to go! We had no idea that the Elders were going to be there so it was an unexpected bonus that we got to introduce Max to the band that is so close to his Mommy and Daddy's hearts.


The dude listening to bagpipers...its so funny how he's drawn to them...he kept craning his neck to follow the sound.

Sitting up like a big boy!

On Sunday we started out Dad's day at the City Market. We picked up some fresh veggies so we could make Max's first "solid" baby food. First on the menu was summer squash! (which he loved by the way...surprise, surprise)



After the market we went to Happy Gillis to say hello to our neighborhood friends and to have a little lunch.

"Wait a minute...I would have rather had what you're having..."
