She&#8217;s even getting pretty good at singing &#8220;I&#8217;m so glad when Daddy comes home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At any rate, it was great fun to work on a special Father&#8217;s Day project with her.<\/p>\n<p>Here we are preparing her present:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.ernstrom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06.17_fathers01.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.ernstrom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06.17_fathers02.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.ernstrom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06.17_fathers03.png\" \/><br \/>\nAnd here is Dave and Bridget on Father&#8217;s Day. With him wearing his &#8220;Happy Father&#8217;s Day shirt&#8221; &#8211; as she called it. (Can you tell it was still pretty early in the morning? Both of them were still in their PJ&#8217;s &#8211; with their morning smiles on. lol)<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.ernstrom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06.17_fathers04.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.ernstrom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06.17_fathers05.png\" \/><br \/>\nShe was just thrilled that he was wearing it, and pointed out that he was several times throughout the day. And she probably said &#8220;Happy Father&#8217;s Day&#8221; to him at least 20 times.  It was pretty darn cute to see.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, when we were making the bed, Bridget saw the shirt that she had made sitting by Dave&#8217;s side of the bed. She quickly said, &#8220;Look its Daddy&#8217;s Happy Father&#8217;s Day shirt. That was so nice I made that for him, huh?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway! Bridget and I just wanted to shout out our love for you, Dave (Daddy). Hope you had a great Father&#8217;s Day!!
