Father's Day

Papa Cairney, Doug, Ben & Kate

It was a busy weekend around the Cairney house last weekend. I had a wedding to attend on Saturday, Doug golfed with his brothers, one of his favorite Uncle's (-; and some good friends back home to support JDRF. The kids had a very fun day with Papa and Grandma Cairney. It started out for them at the zoo that morning, exploring the new dinosaur exhibit and all of the other fun things that they discovered. Then it was back to Indianola for matinee movie, a few holes of golf, yummy cookies, reading books, playing games, watching the Cubs and just enjoying some time together with Papa & Grandma. After church on Sunday, they brought the kids back up to West Des Moines to have brunch with us. What a great way to start out our day! Brunch with 2 of the 3 best Dad's that I know!!

The kids were excited to show Doug the cards they had made, his new lunch box, and a few new shirts for his special day! We went to the ball park for a while, went swimming, played at the park, and in my opinion, Doug worked WAY too hard out in the yard that afternoon!!! Lucky for him, everyday is like Father's Day around this house (-:

All kidding aside, I am always so thankful for everything that Doug does to help me, the kids and just by showing all of us how much he loves being a Dad -- Happy Father's Day my dear!!! We love you -- XOXOX

PS -- even though I was not able to be with my Dad on Sunday, we were able to chat on the phone for awhile and are looking forward to a trip home this weekend to get our hugs in! He is also another amazing man that we are blessed with to have as a Father, Father-in-law, and Papa in our lives!!
