Adam, Tonya, & Rachel: Happy Father's Day

Rachel and I worked on a special picture for Adam to put on his desk at work for his Father's Day gift. It turned out pretty well! Our goal was to do handprints and footprints, but if you've ever tried this before, you'll know it is quite difficult to get a baby to stretch out their fingers to get a good handprint...in addition, the drooling and putting the hand in the mouth is kind of an issue and makes for a mess! So, we decided we'd just use a footprint! She had black ink under her fingernails for a couple of days, but Adam didn't notice thank goodness! We also worked on a special gift for Pa for Father's Day, but we don't get to see him until this Saturday to give him his gift, so I'll have to post pics of it next week (so we don't ruin the surprise if he gets a chance to follow up on the blog before then!)

We had a special surprise for Adam on Saturday. We took him to the Nashville Zoo! He's always talking about wanting to go so we figured it would be the perfect Father's Day outing (a day early). We ended up getting a zoo membership (as it was less than $100 for all of us to go as much as we want in the next year plus take one guest on every trip!)...that way we can go several times for shorter periods of time. Thank goodness we did that becuase it was hot on Saturday and we only stayed a couple of hours. Then we made Adam one of his favorite dinners: homemade pizza! It was delicious!
