dad day, delayed

It has been over a week since Father's Day and I am only now getting to posting this - my bad. We spent the weekend in Wisconsin. Big Eddie got to play golf with my Dad and we all ate an early dinner together with little Eddie at the table too. The photos are some I took at the end of day as my boys walked out in the backyard to look at the swans in the pond. My gift to Eddie was a video montage of his first 10 months as a Dad, with images of him and his son set to music and intermingled with all those video clips we have taken, once again featuring him and his son. If I had time, I would figure out how to send it to YouTube or something, but alas, there just doesn't seem to be enough. As a wife and mother, I have to admit that one of the more precious and cherished parts of my day is when dad and baby unite - when Eddie comes home from work and his son crawls to him so fast, beaming with the biggest smile and often a loud noise or the occasional "dadada!" Watching the bond between father and son blossom and unfold before my eyes is something that I will never forget and I find its pure joy is hard to put into words...all I can say is it is one of the more genuine expressions of love I have ever witnessed.
