Happy Father's Day!!

My poor DH is not having a good Father's Day. For one he's soooo sick. Just has a nasty summer cold, but they're the worst. I'm glad I'm not there to get it from him! And of course he doesn't have his kids with him on this day of celebrating fathers. That's kind of his own fault, but I still feel bad for him. He really is a great Daddy. He loves his kids and he wants what is best for them. Even when he wasn't sure if him and I would ever be together again, he wanted to do everythign he could to keep me at home taking care of them. And he really is an involved father. He loves to play with our kids. Loves to play with any kid really. I am so thankful to have him as my babies' Daddy. He's also having a bad day b/c the Father's Day cards we sent didn't get there in time :( The week kind of snuck up on me and before I knew it, it was Thursday. It usually only takes 2 days for mail to get from my house to his, but of course it takes longer when you're counting on it. I had the boys each make a card for him. I wrote on the 2yo's of course, but had the 4yo copy what I wrote on the other. Then I traced their hands on the inside of the card. Then they decorated them with stickers and markers. I also made him one from the baby and traced her hand on it. And I sent an 8x10 pic that had all the kids' pictures on it and said Happy Father's Day. And while I was going through boxes I came across the kids' cards to him from last year, so I sent them along as well. I think he'll like it. All he knows he's getting is cards from the boys, so hopefully he'll be nicely surprised. Ah well, my Mother's Day card, that I made him make me, was two days late, so we were joking that this is just his pay back :)

Ooh, speaking of DH. Last night (or was it the night before?) he was heading to bed, really sick and just wanted to go to sleep, but he called me first just to tell me he loved me :) When you've been through what we've been through there is nothign better than that. Praise the Lord for all the work He has done in my DH's heart.
