Double Celebration weekend

Today is our 6th wedding anniversary. What an amazing 6 years it has been. I am so lucky to be married to my best friend and a wonderful father too. We had a "date" night last night and went to Table 2 to celebrate. We had an agreement that we weren't doing presents.....but Michael doesn't listen very well. He really pulled a surprise on me and even now I still can't believe it. He got me a Nikon digital SLR camera. We haven't even talked about getting one but he knows how much I like to take pictures. It has taken me 2 days to get over the shock of it all.....I don't do well with surprises or big purchases. It is nice to be spoiled sometimes though and I am sure that I will grow to LOVE it! I have already enjoyed the new pictures I have taken with it! I have a lot to learn and even after reading the manual twice I am still not quite sure what I am doing sometimes! So if anyone that reads my blog has any suggestions or advice I would appreciate any help!

Today is also Father's Day! Connor and Macy are blessed with a wonderful dad. Happy Father's day to all the dads in our lives especially my dad, Michael's dad (who we missed seeing) and my brother Todd. After church we enjoyed a lazy Sunday afternoon at home. Connor had made some crafts for his dad and we made him a photo collage for his office at work. After naps we headed out to my parents house to enjoy Father's Day with my dad and my brother & family. It was nice to see my family again and the kids had a great time playing together. I am blessed with a wonderful dad who does so much for me and my family. It is neat to see my big brother in his role as dad also. Vance is a lucky boy too! Of course I took several pictures of our day with my new camera....so if you want you can check them out in the album Father's Day!

Amy I think Michael gave you the camera as a reward for putting up with him, no I mean loving him for over 6 years! :) Tell Michael that was some of my humor that he thinks it not funny. Anyway congrats to you both and enjoy your camera. Sounds like a great gift. And happy Father's Day to Michael, your dad, and your brother!
