Father's Day

I felt bad about this Father's Day because it wasn't such a great day for Ben or any of us for that matter! Poor little Logi was up all night Saturday in agonizing stomach pain. So, Sunday morning we took him to the Urgent Care to discover that he surprisingly had his first case of Strep Throat! I was happy to know what was wrong and that it could be treated, but he never once complained about a sore throat and he hadn't had a fever in days. He just manifest the symptoms in a different way mainly through stomach pains, lack of appetite, and lethargy, which I wrongly diagnosed as being viral related. So, I am very happy that we went to the doctors, but was sad that it all happened on Father's Day Sunday.
Saturday was Ben's day to do whatever he wanted and even though Logan wasn't feeling well, we still had fun swimming and going out to dinner. However, I have never seen Logan sicker, which peaked Saturday night and all day Sunday...he was miserable:( Luckily, Ben still enjoyed his Father's Day even though it was a day home from church with sick kids (Dane was acting sick as well, but luckily it didn't progress into much).

For Father's Day, Ben got a new Motorola Xoom tablet, which he loves, and a few other odds and ends. But, he truly loved our cards and the boys' video message.

Ben is such an amazing father and I found the best card that expressed my appreciation for him.  I love this card so much...it says, "When I look at you, I see a man who's totally in love with his family. It shows in all the big and little things you do every day...as a husband, as a father. When I look at you, I see a man I love and appreciate...a man I am so very happy to be sharing this life with." Of course, I wrote my own little love note and between that and the boys' video and card, I am pretty sure that he felt very loved this Father's Day! We love you daddy!
