so, i'm not much of a sappy person...okay, maybe i am, but not publicly. but today was a special for ryan (or so i hope it was). we (and by we, i mean me...lucy just ate icing all morning) made ryan breakfast in bed, went to church, and we went to lunch at carino's, and they didn't royally screw up his order. although, i wish it would have been like that one time we went to carino's in lexington, and our waiter was dressed as A.C. Slater (for halloween), in his wrestling unitard thing and curly mullet wig. but nobody knew who he was supposed to be, except for us, and we died laughing...that would have been a great father's day...

anyway, lucy and olive are so lucky to have such a wonderful daddy. i don't tell him enough...but he's pretty great. i think the best thing here lately is when ryan puts lucy to bed at night in her big girl bed. he tells her a story about a little girl named lucy and what all she did that day, and how she gets in her big girl bed every night and goes to sleep. she gets so excited and is so into it, and then goes on to sleep...usually. it's great. i wish i could have that effect on her...but i don't. all day i've been telling her to say "happy father's day," and i don't think she realizes what that's about, since she doesn't even say the word "father." whatever. she did good though.

we tried to take a few pictures this afternoon...almost complete disaster. lucy just absolutely hates having her picture taken, and will just run from the camera if she sees it. ryan and olive behaved perfectly...and lucy just ran around like a crazy person. so here's a few of what i got. you can kind of get the feel of how things went by the first picture...yeah. to see more, click here.
