The Richardsons: Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day!

Jacob and Samuel made these cute ties for Aaron at nursery today! Aaron is wearing the tie Sam made (Sam was snoozin' upstairs by this point). How cuuuuute!

This is so Aaron--always straightening, combing, adjusting Jacob and Sam's Sunday clothes. He is not as particular on other days, but on Sundays its his role to make sure they are tucked and ready to go. I think its cute how Jacob is looking at Aaron's tie, as if realizing that he is the model to follow! Like father like son; can't go wrong in this case! Aaron is a great father we're blessed to have him. Happy Father's Day!

I have to add a picture of my gift to Aaron--a homemade wallet!! Can anyone guess the material? Thats right--Aaron's favorite Duct Tape! (or Duck Tape whatever its called!) Although he is not a red neck, Aaron does love duck tape. And what can I say? We just moved, we had a lot of it lying around.

Debbi said...: Hey Rebecca! I LOVE the wallet idea, how creative! I hope you guys are getting all settled in- we just got back to iowa for a month and it's so strange that every one is gone! It looks like your move went well and I hope the boys are still sleeping well in their big beds, we are going to get Noah one soon, so it's hopeful for me to know that Sam is doing well in one!; June 21, 2008 at 8:52 PM
