day for papa

summer break 2009 - week 1, day 7 - sunday!

it's r's 5th father's day - wow...i feel like it was just yesterday these kiddos fit squarely into our arms...
sweet babies
g & e woke their papa up with his present - an appointment for a 50 minute massage at coldwater creek. he said he didn't like massages, but that he'd try it (see how he liked it in a later post :)

we didn't really have any plans for breakfast, so i decided to give nette a call to see what she was up to. we decided to crash their plans & headed to frida for their sunday brunch. what we didn't realize was it was fully booked (reservations only). lucky for us a party of 8 was late and we got to steal their spot. between the handmade sopes & fresh ceviche, we couldn't believe how yummy it was! i do have to admit, it did come in a distant 2nd to all my old MOM co-workers authentic mexican cuisine. nevertheless, it's close by, and anytime we're in the mood for fresh mexican food, we know where to go! we think fiona has a crush on gavin :)

...as if we didn't stuff ourselves enough, we were invited to the deguzman home for dinner to celebrate with a bushel (yes!) of blue crab with all the fixins. ed ordered them straight from maryland--i didn't believe it til i saw it! this box is actually 3/4 empty! it was hilarious watching r & ed see who could tear out (filipino style) the biggest piece.
we think ed won
by the end of the day, the newspaper covered table was DONE!
we took the kids outside and the boys got a chance to relax and have some boy, oh, ahem, men-time the cigars were from the p.i.!

nicholas wanted in on the shots

it was a fun, food-filled day! we love you r!
