Father's Day.

We celebrated Father's Day on Saturday this year, a little strange but it worked well for us.
It was a gloriously sunny day and we were able to fulfil Abraham's plan of spending pretty much the entire day outside. Lovely.
The boys played ball games, strummed at their guitars and read books out on the lawn, Otto practised his standing up and pushing around his little trolley and, after a few jobs in town, prepared a delicious Father's day lunch for us to eat al fresco.
It was so nice to all hang out and to have a whole day of fresh air. It's amazing how much brighter things seem after a few hours in the back yard!

As his present, for being the best Dad/ husband in the entire world, Abraham received a portrait of the boys. It was done by the ever-lovely-and-very-talented Stella from Frank & Dean Co. Ltd. and is one of the most wonderful things I have ever laid eyes on. Not only does it look EXACTLY like the picture, but it is also so meticulously drawn, ever little pencil mark is in the right place and done so lovingly! Incredible!
And her pricing is very reasonable (too reasonable maybe?) so I whole-heartedly recommend that you had over to the felt shop and snap up a custom portrait of your loved ones too. We all love ours and you will love love love yours, too.
