Father's Day in our household is never without a slight hint of saddness as Paul's Dad passed away five years ago and my Dad last year. So for us, we now focus on Paul and the wonderful Daddy he is to our little Grace. It is always such a joy to watch the two of them together and especially to see Grace's excitement when Paul gets home from work.
This morning, after giving Paul his gift, the three of us enjoyed a delicious breakfast at C15 Cafe and then went for a walk along the river. For the rest of the day, we've been outdoors gardening in the lovely Spring sunshine.
I hope you have all had lovely weekends celebrating and remembering the Dads in your lives.
Gorgeous pictures Amanda. Love that last one! Yes, a bit of sadness here too. We focus on our boys wonderful Dad. We made him wear a 'Fab Dad' badge all day yesterday! A-M xx
ReplyDeleteoh i really love the second photo Amanda...your day sounds really nice and what a great little helper Gracie is.
ReplyDeleteNice post Amanda. Fathers day was very low key in our house as is Mothers day. You all look like you had a lovely day! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat cute pics (especially the last 2)! I could up with my dad to ive him his Darell Lea Dad's bag of lollies (a tradition) which he sat and started to demolish straight away. I'm sure your Dad knew you were thinking of him *hugs*
ReplyDeleteYou were lucky to get some nice sunshine and time out in the garden - it poured nonstop here all weekend.
Have a grat week Amanda. xx

ReplyDeleteI can see that little Grace is a real Daddys Girl!! Love the photo of her in the highchair while Paul waters the garden. It sounds like you had a beautiful day yesterday and I'm sure your Dad would be looking down on you with a smile :) Hope you have a lovely week. xxx
ReplyDeleteThere are some gorgeous pics here of your loved ones. I feel so for people like you both who have lost much loved Dads. Much love to you Amanda. x
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful pics of Grace and your hubby, Amanda. It must have been a difficult day in many ways, but it looks like you had a lovely day. Hope you have a great week ~ Tina x
ReplyDeleteOh I appreciate how you would have mixed emotions about Father's Day. My boyfriend lost his father two years ago within seconds to a heart attack and never got to say goodbye so it's not a great day for him either.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you both have your adorable baby girl (she is seriously gorgeous!) to love and cherish! :-)
Have a great week Amanda
