Father's Day, Part 1

So...I'm a little late in posting...we've had some technical difficulties with our digital cameras, which prohibited me from posting the pictures I've been trying to be faithful to take! =D

BUT, I think we got it all worked out!

This year was the second time in 11 years that Brianna had a dad to celebrate Father's Day with. Needless to say, I did a lot of crying...tears of joy and gratitude to my oh so faithful God for the amazing gifts He has given Brianna in the form of her TWO amazing dads. While she does not remember the one Father's Day she had with her father (she was only 2 months old) she DOES remember her first Father's Day with David as her dad. God is so kind!

And, while this was a momentous occasion for Brianna, it was also pretty special for David...his very first Father's Day! Even though he had only been at it for 3 months, David earned the Dad of the Year Award from me. Pictures below...

Friday of Father's Day weekend Brianna and David went to the Dad's Appreciation class at her karate do-jang. Here are some pictures...


These two (above) are David and Brianna doing an activity where one had to drop a target and the other had to punch it. One of our favorite moments as a family, which was not caught in these pictures, is that there was one time Brianna was holding the target and faked David out, so that he punched but she had not let go of the target. They were laughing, and so was I (amidst the tears of gratitude), and it was a moment of bonding for dad and daughter.

This is a picture of David and Brianna waiting to go into the other room for snacks!

AND, finally, this is David and Brianna still sipping their drinks, having just been addressed by Master Johnson.

I am SO grateful to the Lord for our first Daddy Event...I look forward to many more as the years go on!
