This is what a typical summer evening looks like for us. Or what twilight looks like for us, at least; right before the sun starts to sink below the skyscrapers in the distance… and it’s one of my favorite parts of the day. Dinner’s over, the weather is perfectly cool, and Emma revels in a few extra minutes of play before bed. Lately, she’s been obsessed with her balance bike, and so it’s a bit less relaxed than, say, sidewalk chalk. ;) Nevertheless, it’s a great time to wind down and get in some quality time together.
The point of this post, though, is to wish my husband, dad and father-in-law–as well as all the other dads out there!–a very happy Father’s Day. I have all three of the dads in my life here with me this weekend, and while I am writing this post in advance so I can be fully present, I know I’m having the best time with them!
Mitch, I wanted to write you a super long letter explaining all the reasons why you’re everything I hoped the father of my children would be. Instead, though, I hope you’ll accept my invitation to go see Vampire Weekend on Northerly Island with me tonight. (OUR PARENTS ARE BABYSITTING!)
Thanks for making every day special, fun and exciting for our little girls... and for loving them unconditionally. To me, you are perfect, and I’m continuously impressed by all that you do on four hours of sleep. ;) I love you!

Mitch seems like such a patient and caring father! Reminds me of my dad :) his favorite “dad joke” was: out at breakfast, when the server would ask if he wanted coffee, he would respond “sure, I’m not driving!”
love Emma’s dress!

Fun fact: The modern sloth is usually around the size of a medium-sized dog. But ancient sloths of years ago, known as ‘Megatherium’, could grow as large as an Asian elephant!

#swimmingscallops haha I love everything about this. The bike with cute basket (do they make that for adults?), the topiaries, and the adorable Noodle.
