Happy Dad's Day!

This post comes a little late, but I didn't want to miss mentioning Ryan's first Father's Day. After the dedication, Aiden put on this little number in honor of his papa.

This little shirt has a special story behind it, one I realized that I've never shared on the blog. It goes all the way back to 11 months ago when I discovered I was pregnant. And so the story goes.....I went to a concert with some friends on Thursday evening. When I got home, I took a pregnancy test. I stared at the result (see picture of Aiden above) and then went to the drugstore and bought two more tests. I took another and got the same result.....and took the third one in the morning, just to make sure. Three checks for pregnant. It would have been a good time to tell Ryan, but he was out of town - out of the country, actually - in Guatemala on a missions trip. So instead I went shopping and bought this shirt.  I stuck it in a congrats bag that I handed over to Ryan when he got home on Saturday afternoon. The myriad of expressions that crossed his face - confusion, surprise, pure joy - when he opened that bag and figured out what that little shirt meant.....that moment holds a special place in my heart and this shirt reminds me of that wonderful, fabulous moment so I just had to share.
Happy Dad's Day, Ryan! Looking forward to raising this little guy with you!
