Father's Day!

On day 2 of our family vacation, Joe walked out on the pier and Ryan was wearing a Cub's onesie. He commented on how cute he looked, which I knew he would. I then said, "well I wanted to make sure his outfit fit him for the Cub's game on Saturday". Joe was so excited to take Ryan to his very first game.

On Saturday morning, Joe woke up excited at about 5:00 am and started packing to leave Wisconsin and head straight to Wrigley Field.

It was a lot of fun to have Ryan there with us. He looked adorable! Slept through a lot of the game, but I think he enjoyed the rest :)

On Sunday, actual Father's day, we just relaxed and hung out at home enjoying time together. We spent a lot of time just playing with Ryan and enjoying the sunshine!

This is Joe now with a chance to contribute to this wonderful baby boy's blog.......

Well.....it's Fathers Day and it has been way too long since my last contribution (as Teresa so eloquently reminds me :)

Teresa gave me the BEST Fathers Day gift ever! A true moment that I will cherish forever......

My time with Ryan at Wrigley Field, a place where I grew up idolizing a childhood dream, was just incredible. It didn't matter at all that the Cubs got absolutely dominated (12-0)!! All that mattered was that my son was enjoying his very first ball game with his Dad.

As far as our week on vacation........I had such a good time. It was great to spend time with all of Teresa's family and of course my amazing wife, but I must say that the highlights of my trip were the countless hours that I got to spend with my little baby boy. I truly feel like I just got to know him. He was smiling all the time and definitely wanted to laugh, we could just sense it!

Any time someone else was holding him and I started talking, Ryan immediately turned his head trying to locate my whereabouts. It is so cool to know how much he loves me......if he only knew just how much MORE I love him.

Just like the very last line in his favorite book, "Guess How Much I Love You" says (which I read to him every night at bed time)........"I love you to the moon and back"
