Father's Day - A First For Matthew

What a beautiful day to celebrate fathers everywhere, especially my father and of course my husband, Matthew, who celebrated his first Father's Day as a daddy.

I got up extra early so that I could make him eggs and toast for breakfast, then we opened presents. He received a gift certificate for a 60 minute Swedish Massage, (everybody needs a little pampering now and then) and a tie, conservative pattern as he likes, but nice (see below). As an extra surprise, I found a cute little hat for Amelia, 'I love daddy' was embroidered on the front of it, she wore it for church and looked adorable, 'daddy's girl'.

After church, it was time for daddy to have some well deserved rest and relaxation whilst I made lunch. Later his dad came over for dinner, it was nice to spend time together and since Matthew's mum is in Texas right now, we just couldn't let him be on his own for Father' Day.

This photograph was taken a couple of weeks ago in a dress that Matthew picked out for Amelia, he has very good taste and Amelia just looked beautiful in it, as you can see...

Matthew is a wonderful dad and I am so grateful that he is my eternal companion. He loves his daughter so much and always helps with diaper changes, feedings, etc. He is fun and loving and since we had our daughter, I love him even more.

On another note, it wouldn't be right if I didn't mention my father. I called him today, it's hard being so far away, but we usually talk each week so I am still very close to him, I only wish I could have given him a big hug, I cannot wait until September when we will visit England, it will be so much fun to see him again, and especially to introduce him to his new grandaughter. He is a wonderful dad and I love him so very much.

Happy Father's Day!
