Father's Day 2009

We had a quiet day here on Father's Day. I was actually supposed to work on Sunday, but they requested that I work last Tuesday instead. I didn't argue with that one! (I don't like to work on Sundays and miss church.) Courtney was the only "child" home, so she and I planned a meal for Ed. We actually all took a power nap right after church before we fixed dinner and felt so much better the rest of the day.

I tried a new recipe and made german chocolate brownies. Ed is a big german chocolate cake fan, but had some really good g.c. brownies at the Clabber Girl Bake Shop in Terre Haute, IN. We have tried to find some as good as those and so far have failed.



I made these from scratch. They came close, but not as good as I remember. I'm going to try tweaking the recipe a little and see if we like it better. The brownies are almost gone, so they must have been ok.

Ed and Courtney played tennis in the afternoon, until the rain cut that activity short.

We watched an action film, Batman Begins, while enjoying popcorn, brownies and ice cream.



I have been blessed with an wonderful husband, who is also an incredible dad! I am so thankful that being the dad God wants him to be has been, and continues to be, a priority in his life. All of his choices revolve around what is best for his family and he has worked so hard to provide for all of us. We love you Ed and couldn't ask for a better dad/husband.
