Had another wonderful weekend with the kids and grandkids; we celebrated our 29th anniversary as well as Father's day. We originally were going to all go out for dinner, but despite the weather (or maybe because of it - the dismal weather kind of made us all feel like not going anywhere!), we decided to stay at our house and cook out steaks and chicken. Delicious food and the best company always make for a great day!
Anyway, Ian started the day off in a typical Ian way doing another future anecdote. Part of Papa's present was a card from Ian and Gabe(the card read "Happy Papa's Day"). Papa loved the card and made sure that the boys knew he was putting it on the refrigerator so everyone could see it. Later, Melody asked Ian if he wanted to go wish the other Papa/Grandpa a happy father's day. Ian looked kind of sheepish and walked into the kitchen and came back out carrying the card he had just given to Papa. We all laughed and I told Ian, "You can't give the other grandpa a card you already gave to Papa!" Melody explained to him that he had to make another card for "Grandpa", who gets called Papa sometimes (Bob wants to retain exclusive title to that name in our family).
Lainie, in all of the excitement of the recent birthdays and celebrations is still waiting for her mama's birthday, an event she is sure is going to be coming soon, even though it is not until January. Today when I asked her if she was excited about the two birthday parties she was going to this weekend, she replied that she was. But, she added, "And then pretty soon is my mommy's birthday. And then we're going to have a party for her". Maybe Lainie knows that there is something special about Mommy's next birthday? Or maybe we just need to actually "celebrate" everyone's birthday in our family, so the kids don't get confused!
