My crazy weekend

Why does this sound like a report assigned in school; 'what did you do this weekend?' Well, I did LOTS, let me tell you. First of all, I'd like to assure you all (and DSS) that my son has been firmly planted on the ground. No more roofing for him- Thank you Lord.
My Josalynn's recital went beautifully, you can see some pics here, if you'd like. She did wonderful!
I had a great time on Saturday morning, having breakfast with an old friend. Well, technically, I feel like she's a new friend. We're getting to know each other on a whole new, real level. The way we should have years ago. But God has allowed us a new start, so I'm glad for that. She was too chicken to post our self portraits on her blog, so I'll put mine up. Keep in mind, for some reason, I find holding a camera at arms length and pushing a button very difficult! LOL
And then there was Father's Day. Of course, I didn't think to take one picture until about 11 last night, so it was too late. We had a low-key kind of day. The children and I made breakfast for Daddy. He got his homemade cards and a Red Sox shirt from the kids. Then it was off to church, dinner @ Josh's parent's house, dessert @ my parent's house. Just letting our dads know we're thinking of them and appreciate them.
I've been doubly blessed. I was raised by my step-dad, and we've only grown closer over the years. I read on Friday how Joseph was Jesus' step-father. Which I'd never really thought in depth about before. So I shared that with my dad, and I hope it touched him as much as it did me. The idea of my dad choosing to be my dad, choosing to raise me, to love me- that just means the world to me. I am also growing closer to my biological father, whom I will always refer to as 'my father', where my step-dad is 'my dad'. Anyway, these 2 men have greatly shaped and influenced the woman I've become. I've learned immensely from them, and I thank God for the both of them.
Finally, my husband. I could go on for pages and pages (even now, as I am a little ... miffed. As I'm typing I'm feeling my righteous anger [LOL] subside) about what an amazing man, husband and father he is. He puts up with me, so right there, he qualifies for sainthood. And he puts up with our children; who are eerily picking up on all the irritating things I do, and copying them; with patience and understanding. He teaches them. He leads by example. He has fun with them; baseball, football, wrestling, dirt bikes, ATVs, building fires, dancing with the girls (they swear they hate when daddy tries to dance, but I know they love it!) The list goes on. I just needed to make mention of a portion of how much Josh means to me, and to our family. He doesn't just provide for us, he is the heart of us. And I thank God for him, on Father's Day, and every day. Now I have to go apologize for being a jerk to him!
I suppose I've rambled enough. This seems way too long to be a blog post, but it is what it is. And that concludes my report for what I did this weekend.

~~~I HAVE TRIED 5 TIMES TO UPLOAD PICTURES. BLOGGER WON'T LET ME DUE TO AN "INERNAL ERROR". I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. I SHALL TRY AGAIN TOMORROW. UGH~~~
