The Crazy Clarks and Other Oddities: Father's Day

Even though Ken has celebrated several Father's Days already, there were still a couple of firsts to be celebrated this year! One of those firsts (that tickled Ken to death!) was that ALL of his children sent him a Father's Day card before the holiday. Normally cards trickle in over the course of a week after whatever holiday it is, but this time the kids did it up royal and got those cards in the mail right on time for Ken's big day! (Hey! It's the little things, ok?)

The second first (That sounds funny...) was that Christian was here to celebrate Father's Day with Ken (duh)! Ken isn't a big gift person. Usually, if he wants something, he buys it. Now, I will always take note of little things I hear him ask for so when a holiday comes along I can surprise him with presents he would usually consider "frivolous". And to emphasize how little we concentrate on possessions, let me just make note that I don't even remember what we bought Ken for father's day (It's been more than a month already!)...other than a very sweet book called, "I Love My Daddy" (check it out!). It's such a precious book all about Daddy and Christian and the special time they spend together; the simple things they do together that make their relationship so special.

We also took Ken out to eat his favorite food...sushi! Our family is crazy about sushi so when it's someone's special day and they get to choose where they want to eat, we're ALL excited! Here are some great pictures...

Random Asian lady who insisted on holding Christian. I'm sure this is like, good luck or something. Like, maybe Christian will live 100 years now or something... No, but seriously, not enough people ask to hold other people's kids! I don't mind if people want to hold Christian...I would love for people to ask to hold him more! It's not a crime. But I guess germophobes have ruined it for all of us...
