Boy, Oh Boy!: Father's Day 2010

We didn't do anything extraordinary for Father's Day, but I did want to share the pictures of the day. For Jesse, even though he's proud to be a daddy, and he thinks it's "cool" that this is a day for him, he's just not too into it. He's not one to really appreciate a tie or photo frame or hand prints, so, my gift to him was allowing him 2 days away camping and fishing with his dad.

(And aren't we gift enough?!?!)

On Sunday, we went to church. However, as a quick update to our previous church dilemma, Jesse decided to go with me to our regular church and not to attend any other one. He told me that he realized how important it is to me to be there and that he had the wrong attitude about not attending before. I still think I'd like to attend both services because I get to experience aspects of church that I miss at my own, but I won't do it if it means he won't go. It was really nice to not go by myself this week and to have him there by my side.

After church, we took my father-in-law out for lunch.

Then Jesse headed off to my aunt's house to do some yard work while I went to my grandpa's to get-together with my extended family. I enjoyed a nice visit with several relatives that I don't often get to talk one-on-one to. My grandpa has a beautiful house and backyard. I have strong memories as a kid of coming here to visit during the summer and walking through his garden, even drawing pictures of his flowers. My mom says that his wife (her step-mom) now does most of the gardening, but he did custom build many of the structures in the yard and tended the garden when I was a kid.
