6/20/05 - Father's Day

Dave had his first Father's Day. I started making him breakfast, but he had to take over when the baby needed to be nursed. I gave him a "Daddy and Me" picture frame to put on his desk at work. We took Eva to church for the first time that morning, and introduced her to everyone. We spent the day at his sister Nanci's house with the rest of his family, and had a barbeque. It was the longest period of time Eva has ever been out of the house, and she went through every diaper we brought, but it was great for her to spend time with her doting aunt and uncles. Dave's sister Laura and brother Larry still haven't seen her because they've been sick, so hopefully they'll meet their niece at the family party on the 4th of July. I mentioned to Dave that he seems to be enjoying fatherhood, and he said "Well, it's relatively easy." Easy compared to what, I asked? "Motherhood," he said. It's sweet of him to notice all the work I do, especially since most of it is so redundant I often can't think of what I've accomplished at the end of the day.
