Cough, cough…I love you too, kids!<\/p>\n

Father’s Day was spent going to church, then home for a snack, then we headed to the ballpark to watch the Jacksonville Suns minor league baseball game.\u00c2\u00a0 The game was compliments of the parents support group from Lainey’s cleft palate team, and they have events designed for their families throughout the year.\u00c2\u00a0 All 7 of us were\u00c2\u00a0 able to go to the game, and an all-you-can-eat lunch was provided as well.\u00c2\u00a0 Not a bad deal for our family!\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another shot after Randy caught his breath.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

His present.\u00c2\u00a0 Brian Regan is our family’s favorite comedian…the kids have heard his routine so often (it’s on dad’s ipod) that they quote him all the time.\u00c2\u00a0 I got the shirt online.\u00c2\u00a0 Take luck…it’s a really funny routine, you should google it.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

We were a little hesitant about going to a baseball game in 100+ degree weather, but thankfully our seats were high up and covered so we were out of the sun and had a nice breeze.\u00c2\u00a0 Otherwise, we would have cooked.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

She enjoyed the unlimited popcorn…<\/p>\n

And her baseball mitt lollipop.\u00c2\u00a0 Lollipops are now expected at all baseball games, since we always had one for her at EJ’s games.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Towards the end of the game, the boys took some vacant seats at the front of the balcony.\u00c2\u00a0 When we decided to call it a game at the\u00c2\u00a08th inning (we were thoroughly HOT by then), the boys weren’t happy.\u00c2\u00a0 Especially Ethan, he really wanted to stay.\u00c2\u00a0 I predict a father\/son day trip coming up soon.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Randy, I probably don’t tell you this enough but you are an AMAZING dad.\u00c2\u00a0 When we were dating, both of our families used to kid you about how you would never grow up.\u00c2\u00a0 The eternal Peter Pan…actually, they still say that about you. \u00c2\u00a0Thankfully, you still have that quality and I know our kids LOVE that part of you.\u00c2\u00a0 You have such fun with them!\u00c2\u00a0 But, you also do an incredible job of balancing that side with the structure and discipline that they also need.\u00c2\u00a0 Top that with the love and affection that you so freely give them, and you’re THE best dad around.\u00c2\u00a0 We’re all blessed to have you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
