Good evening! I hope all of you had a beautiful weekend, and all the fathers out there were celebrated and pampered. This weekend was quite busy in the Lubin household, but I didn't forget about any of you. Thank you all so much for your inquiries, emails and care packages. I just keep receiving so much love from all of the followers of His Middle Name, as this initiative keeps tumbling forward with all the life each of you breathe into it. My thank yous will never be enough.
With that said, there was much to celebrate and be thankful for in our home, as this weekend marked Brad's first official Father's Day. Last year on Father's Day, Brad and I shared the news of our pregnancy with our families and friends, as it marked my entrance into the second trimester. Oh, how I did not see all that would transpire ... and how much would change in one year's time! It was a beautiful day in the city on Sunday, and Sutton and I awoke extra early to prepare the day. We wanted to make sure Brad's first Father's Day was one to remember. With cards, gifts and treats all displayed to greet him once he woke up, Brad was really caught off guard and was so surprised! We then took Sutton and Otis (our dog/Sutton's older brother) out to breakfast at our favorite breakfast nook, and strolled through the park. As morning turned into afternoon, I began to prepare for a Father's Day dinner we were hosting. Brad's Mom and Dad came over to celebrate with us, and I made my now famous beef brisket, mashed potatoes, asparagus, country summer salad and biscuits. I also made chocolate cream pie (Brad's favorite), and was snap happy with the camera. Here are a few photos from Brad's first, and very special, Father's Day.
