Father's Day!

This year we were very excited to have Rick home for Father's Day! (Last year, for his 1st Father's Day, we had to take him to the airport first thing in the morning, as he had to head to Ohio for training for his new job) We were so extremely excited, that we woke him up bright and early to give him his cards and presents!!! Did someone forget to remind us that Rick is NOT a morning person??? Actually, he surprised us, as he was in a great mood & smiled all morning :)

We went to church & Nana and Popa were there. Ash went to the Toddler class & they said she was perfect!!! I always worry that she is going to cry...

Popa, Daddy & Me

Catch me if you can! Ash is walking everywhere now. It is all she wants to do...I am getting quite the workout trying to keep up with her.

After church, we went to meet Mimi and Papa for lunch at McAlister's Deli. It was great to get to celebrate the day with both sets of Grandparents!

After lunch, we went home and took a nap! Around 5:00 pm, Ash and I went to pick up Popa and Nana. Popa didn't know where we were going. We took him to the boat landing, where Rick was waiting. We had the boat all packed and ready to take him for a surprise ride ,and to go to dinner over on James Island at the Crab House. We were pretty excited about the evening because we were celebrating Father's Day, and it was going to be Ashlyn's first time in the boat!At Remley's Point just before our journey.

Let's get this show on the road! I am READY for my first boat ride!!!

Ashlyn found a new favorite food! Crab dip of all things!!! (I knew she was going to be a true Carolina girl! Ha ha) We couldn't feed it to her fast enough. She would scrape all the dip off of her cracker & then give us the cracker back. It was hilarious!

Nana, Ash & Mommy after dinner. We had a great afternoon & it was time to cruise back to the dock. We took a detour through the Charleston Harbor so we could look at the big boats & then we went past Rainbow Row and the Yorktown. It was the perfect trip for Ashlyn's first time out in the boat & we were happy to share the afternoon with Nana and Papa. It made the day extra special

Proof that Ashlyn can still fall asleep ANYWHERE!!!

Ash might be growing like a weed, but one thing has not changed since she was a tiny baby... her sleepy time with her daddy! Every night she likes to sit with Rick and drink her milk. They watch TV...sometimes she falls asleep and sometimes she just sits until we put her in the crib. Either way, she loves her Daddy time!
