A slightly belated Happy Father’s Day goes out to all the awesome Fathers out there – especially ours!  Here’s a Dad’s day portrait of one of our two favorite Dads – my Dad, Dan :-)

On Sunday, Ryan, Molly and I headed over to my Dad’s house to have a little BBQ in celebration of Father’s Day!  Ryan shot this one of me and Molly as we were getting ready to head out.  Aren’t we cute?  Couldn’t resist posting it . . .

Ryan made his SUPER YUMMY mashed potatoes.  My favorite!  While the boys were out at the BBQ my sister Amy and I decided to do some pre-dinner sampling.  She’s 27 weeks pregnant so she has a pretty good excuse for being impatient!  I on the other hand just really love mashed potatoes . . .

 Some deliciously colorful veggies ready for the grill.

Here’s my bro-in-law Jim hard at work on the BBQ.  Careful - those are some hot peppers! 

There was a bit of Father’s Day drama when we discovered a nest of baby birds in a nearby bush.  My Dad’s dog Sassy proceeded to snatch one of this little guys brothers out of the bush.  It was so sad!  The whole group was horrified! 

Here’s a shot of the whole group watching to see if the mommy bird would come to the rescue of the other baby bird.  Doesn’t it look like the scene of a serious accident or something?  Everybody looks so worried!  Don’t worry though – the little bird was okay :-)

Poor Sassy was in the “dog house” for the rest of the evening . . .

Ryan and I are both SO excited about becoming an Aunt and Uncle!  All night long, I was trying to feel my little niece move.  She never did co-operate, but I guess I still have a few months left to get my sneak peak.  Stubborn little girl!  What can I say – it runs in the family :-) 

And of course, we have to close with a shot of Dad with his daughters, son-in-laws and grand-kids (one grand-kid is in Amy’s belly and the other one, of the furry variety, is on the right)!

By the way, Jim hates having his picture taken so he always feels the need to make a face or do something else equally silly . . . way to contribute bro :-)

Happy Dad’s Day everybody!
