Our vacation in the mountains was much needed, but I'm so glad to be back home. I still have a suitcase full of clothes that need to be put away, but there's been so much to do since we got back!
Clemmie completely reverted back to her pre-potty trained days in Flagstaff, so it's been really tough to get her back on track. At least a few times I've wanted to give up, especially because now she's so defiant about going. But I started again today. And only one accident so far.
So I'm hopeful. I'm a bit annoyed at the whole situation and her upturned nose at every potty request, but hopeful nonetheless.
She's upstairs sleeping right now, no doubt naked with her diaper thrown on the floor. Gosh, I hope I don't wake up to pee-soaked sheets again. Fingers crossed - she may have kept it on, right? Riiight.....
The weekend was great - and Father's Day was awesome. The kids spent about an hour making him beautiful pictures and we woke him Sunday morning with kisses and hugs and presented them to him. It was a rushed morning, getting everyone ready for breakfast at my sister Anna's house, but the day turned out great just hanging out with my family.
Bobby spent most of the day watching the World Cup and the US Open - and since it was his day I didn't make a big deal about it. Because if it wasn't, of course I would! Just kidding. Kind of. Actually, if it wasn't so damn hot I would've insisted he play 18 holes yesterday. He totally deserves it. I know every wife out there thinks their husband is the best, but seriously, mine is.
Sorry. Hey - someone had to be!
He works all day long, and when he comes home he is always with us. If the TV is on, he shuts it off and is just WITH us. He never complains. He has the most positive attitude I've ever met in another human being. He is incredibly smart - and that is truly an understatement. He plays guitar - major bonus points right there for sexiness. He never misses an opportunity to tell me all the lovely things a woman should hear. He is forgiving. Insightful. Understanding. Compassionate. Funny. Incredibly dorky. Romantic. And an amazing dad. I know our boys are learning so much just by watching him.....integrity, honesty, and what it means like to be a family man. Most importantly, they are learning how to treat their future wives. And you have no idea how happy it makes me that they're learning from the best.
Happy (belated) Father's Day to all the great dads out there....
And to my own. My beautiful daddy. I love you....
P.S. I have the most heartbreaking photo to share tomorrow.
stay tuned...

Ah, you made it out of Flagstaff just in time to not have to deal with the fires much!
I know! We were so close to where the fire is, too! Thank goodness!
Lovely blog! So gald I found you, what a cute family!
I missed your musings. Glad you are back. Not sure if I am looking forward to the heartbreaking photo or not...I love things that pull at the heart strings and then hate myself for that at the same time!
Thanks for stopping by, Leah!
Carol - I'm sure I'm overexaggerating, but once you see it - you'll know why! :)
I always leave my suitcase out for a bit, not wanting to tackle what's inside ( :
You inspire me with the potty training!
