That's what he's known as around here. Sometimes Dad. Sometimes Daddy. But mostly Dada. And we sure do love him to pieces.
Me and the boys started out the day at 5:30 am when both boys awoke, a special treat since its usually just me and Michael up at that hour. We made Dada a hot breakfast, gave him his gifts, and headed off to church. The priest gave a nice homily (supposedly - I decided to go to the back of the church with my chatty Michael after getting some dirty looks from the elderly man in front of us). The Priest's name is David and after hearing somebody address him as Father David, Michael started yelling Father Day-Day, Father Day-Day. (Day-Day is his pet name for his brother David, although we know that he can say David. Sort of like how David called Uncle Pete "Beuh" long after he could say "Pete."
After nap time/quiet time/work time/down time, we headed to downtown Sioux Falls and strolled around the main commercial area. They have this really cool SculptureWalk. Basically different companies in the city sponsor artists from across the world to make a sculpture that the city publicly displays for a full year. Locals and tourists are invited to view the sculptures and vote on their favorites. The winners are purchased by the city and kept on display permanently. There was some really beautiful art to be seen.
We picked up a Take N Bake Pizza for dinner, made a bunch of phone calls, and got the kids ready for bed.
To close off the night, I got Dairy Queen for Brian and me, and we watched Invictus.
Happy Father's Day, Brian - we love you so much!!!
