Father's Day = Sick, Sick, Sick!

This Father's Day brought a VERY unwelcomed gift to Evie's daddy this year.  Poor Beau got the flu in the worst way!  He spent the weeeeee hours of the Father's Day morning in the bathroom puking his guts out (sorry, but he did).  He couldn't get 30 minutes behind him before he had to go back for another round.  Talk about being miserable!  It was so super sad.  

I had prepared a nice breakfast for him (I put it all together on Saturday night . . . copycat Kneaders Baked French Toast), but needless to say, he was definitely NOT in the mood to eat anything when breakfast came around.  He seriously spent the entire day, minus about 1-2 hours, in bed.

He's trying to smile here, but he's NOT happy!  Evie kept begging to get up
and play on the bed with her dad, but we weren't about to take the risk of her
catching such a nasty illness.

So, Evie and I still went to visit my dad and have dinner with my family.  I love my dad.  He's taught me so many things.  Among many things, he taught me the value of work and education . . . such valuable traits in this world today.  Through his example he has taught me to love the gospel, love Christ, serve Christ, and keep the commandments.  He is person a of the highest integrity.  He loves me and I know he loves me.  I love my dad!

I'm sure he'll love me for putting this picture up, but I think
it's fun.  This is me and my daddy on my blessing day.

So . . . . besides honoring my dad, it was much easier to have Evie running around my mom and dad's house, versus trying to keep Evie away from her daddy.  I felt kind of bad leaving Beau on Father's Day, but let's be honest, he wasn't present anyways!  With the exception of one other time, I've never seen Beau more sick.  Sad!

Good news is that it was only a 24-hour bug (plus he'll tell you it was also a bonus to lose a little weight too) and today he was ready to party.  Well, kind of.  He still feels a little queazy, but WAY better than yesterday.

So, before he headed off to work, we opened his gifts, had breakfast together, and enjoyed having Beau come back to life!

Beau's Gift Pile

Evie made Beau a mouse pad for his office.
It has pictures of her and Beau on it.

I gave Beau this awesome compressor.  He's been wanting one
for a while now and my brother helped me pick out the perfect one.

Beyond the fun gifts, what I really love is that Beau is SUCH a great dad.  He loves little Evie with every inch of his big heart and it melts my heart to watch him as he takes care of, plays with, and worries about our sweet girl.  I'm so glad that Evie has such a caring and loving father!  

If there is even a doubt about how much these two love each other, I think the pictures can set the record straight.  Evie can't wait for daddy to come home and loves, loves, loves, to play and giggle with him.  

There's no doubt that these two are a match made in heaven (literally!).
