I know what you're thinking - this blog post is long overdue. In June I celebrated my first Father’s Day with Tori and Turner. I was very excited about it. I made sure Tori didn't group our anniversary gift (June 16th) with my Father's day gift (due June 18th). Two major events require two seperate gifts - those are the rules. OK back to the story. The gifts were great; both humorous and serious. You can see most of these in the photo to the left. Starting from left to right, I got a nice card from Turner and a recordable Hallmark book. I have to look closer at the instructions but I plan on reading and recording the story for Turner soon. Next up, we have a card from Tori and a picture frame that Turner made at daycare. The picture frame says, “Dad’s Pride and Joy”. I plan on keeping that in my office, near my computer for those days where I wonder why I'm working hard or putting in late hours. Lastly we have another card from Turner (clearly my son is an overachiever) and a coffee mug from Tori.
What’s not pictured here is a dog tag that Tori got for me. You might be able to see it in the photo to the right. I know what you're thinking and yes, Turner and I were wearing matching shirts. The plan is to take it to get it engraved with a quote that I like; “Father, giver of strength, love and wisdom. Son, giver of life’s greatest joys”. After being showered with cards and gifts, Tori and Turner took me to brunch. Tori and I enjoyed a great meal while Turner flirted with the waitresses.
Thank you Tori and Turner for an awesome first Father’s Day!
