Father's Day

She drew a picture of them on the longest slide ever and
watching a movie together in a tent.



Cassidy wanted to treat her papa right for Father's Day so she made him a feast! She showed off her cooking, serving, artistic and musical skills all in one setting. She even dressed up (her favorite part). She truly loves the man she calls "Abba" and wants to bless him every day.
 

We take food seriously in this family, real and pretend.

Tom is the best papa for us. Every morning when I take Cass to school, we head down to the street and then Tom whistles at her from our balcony. Then he signs to her that he loves her, he blows her kisses and does all sorts of silly things to make her smile.

When I pick her up from school she always wants to know if Papa is home or at class. If he's home she runs to his study and gives him kisses. They are two peas in a pod; sometimes she'll go into his study while he's working and do her own project (construction paper ice cream cones are her current interest). She doesn't need to talk to him (usually), she just wants to be with him.

Then he blessed her spirit, she locked eyes with him
and received his words of love and truth.



I can understand. I want to spend all my time with him, too. Having his study at home is a blessing for all of us; we get to see each other more than most families. He has more flexibility to stop and eat lunch with me, or play with Cassidy when she gets home from school. I admit, we may take advantage of his "flexibility". He is so sweet that he has a hard time saying 'no', so we're trying to work on respecting his need to get school work done. We just want to be with him, to share what we're learning or doing or find out what he's thinking.

This time as a family is a blessing -- we really love each other! We appreciate all of your prayers for our family, and our marriage. We feel the generous hand of G-d on our relationships as we spend more time together. We pray you all had a great time celebrating the men in your lives, and remember the One who wants you to call Him Abba.
