Sunday, June 17, 2007 A special day for Grandpa Today was a special day for my husband, but even more so for my dad. This is my husbands 14th father's day as a father. It was my dad's first father's day as a Grandpa. When he opened the card from Olivia, I could see him blinking back tears. We were lucky to have hubbie's three kids for the day. They made him homemade chocolate chocolate pretzels, his favorite treat. Olivia made him a mustard cake, not as tasty, but made with just as much love. I don't think this day is quite as hard as mother's day, although any reminder of what you continue to wait for is difficult. For all of you with men in your lives who are waiting, I hope that next father's day can be celebrated with a baby in your arms. Here's a picture that should make you smile...an alternate use for the bumbo seat My favorite picture of hubbie with Olivia My dad with Olivia 2 days after she was born (whoops, didn't take any pictures today, too busy bbq'ing) posted by Just another Jenny @ 10:10 PM   9 Comments: At 1:02 AM,  twolinesonastick said… She just looks so content snuggled there with her daddy :)   At 7:33 AM,  Gil said… What a beautiful photo of Olivia with her dad!

Yesterday would have been my dad's first Father's Day as a grandpa too but he passed away almost 5 years ago. It truly is a blessing to get to share moments like those as a family though and your little Olivia is a doll!   At 1:07 PM,  Nearlydawn said… How Sweet! What a great Father's Day for your dad!
