After such an adventurous start to the weekend, with Blake's hospital stay, Father's Day was almost restful ... with the exception of our celebratory dinner ... which was unforgettably chaotic.
Father's Day, this year, was very special. It was Andrew's first year as a Daddy of 2 ... and of course, a day for my Dad, who remains the man who inspires me every single day.
We began the day with our "Special Occasion Breakfast""The Kids" (aka Mommy) made bacon, eggs, sausage and toast.
Daddy made the coffee ...
Sophie gave her Daddy her card for him ...
Then as soon as Blake woke up from his nap, he gave Daddy a card too!
It is not the "Chinese way" to brag ...my mom would be ashamed ...
but I cannot help it - it is the proud mom in me ...
My son is seriously the cutest little guy!
This is how we found Sophie ..On her step, with her snack ...

the pond, otherwise known as our sink.

I think dinner should be talked about.
Originally, we had made reservations at Lawry's Steakhouse but when we realized the WHOLE family was coming - aunt, uncle, cousins, us ... we decided to head to Monterey Park for a yummy Chinese banquet. Nothing too unusual ... that is until we showed up and saw the line outside the restaurant. As we were entering the restaurant, I heard other patrons grumbling, "Let's go somewhere else!". Thank goodness for reservations!
And when the food came - it came ... all at once, one right after the other - there was no breath between dishes. Sophie loved it - so much action and so much to choose from! But at some point, my aunt and I agreed that we should not talk, just bury our heads down and eat. There wasn't even time for a breath! It was almost hilarious ... and likely one of the most memorable Father's Day meals we've ever had! Completely and totally unforgettably chaotic.

Don't talk ... just eat.
I brought a pie.
The waiters thought it was someone's birthday.
Happy Father's Day.
My little pie lover!
Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there.
What would we do ... if not for our Daddies ...
