We celebrated a nice Father's Day yesterday. It was a pretty typical Sunday: Jamie did his long run, the kids and I hung out, but went to get bagels at Einstein's and we Skyped Pa to wish him a good day, played a little outside... That afternoon I felt like I was the one celebrating Father's Day, I feel asleep on the couch watching the US Open. Just like old times before kids. For dinner we went to Kelly's, a cool microbrew-type place (they have like 20 craft brews on tap, for $4 a pint!! and kids eat free on the weekend!!). We pigged out on pub food, watched more golf. I had a little incident with a table umbrella stand while trying to navigate my way out of the restaurant, but no matter.
After dinner we walked around the UNM campus for a Father/kids photo shoot. What a pretty place; it was lush with all kinds of trees, a pond, a waterfall, rolling hills. So much fun for photography. Jamie and Jordan explored the waterfall area while I fed Jacob. He was hungry, in a very bad mood, impatient after watching us stuff ourselves on fries and heavy beer. Anyway, I got some great pictures of Jamie playing with the kids, and I learned some new tricks for keeping Jordan engaged. Although one of the tricks involves letting her take a few pictures with my camera. This cost me some shots (I forgot to readjust the camera when I took it back from her) and a lens smudge, but she really got a kick out of it and even got some cool shots that I hadn't thought of :-) Here's the best one:
The weekend ended on a super high note with homemade cherry/raspberry pie. Happy Father's Day to all of those great Daddies out there that are integral, fun, and irreplaceable parts of their kids' lives!

I love that pic that Jordan took! Aren't they amazing with the camera? Their angles are so different than ours. next time, tell her to stand in that spot that's in focus and THAT would have been an even more precious picture.
