Today was one of those days that just clicks. Sure it started off with not so much sleep because our son hasn't quite figured out the joy of settling into dreamland for more than 2 hours at a time, but mere sleep deprivation couldn't come close to spoiling this day. The 3 of us started the afternoon off with lunch on the Hudson River where the waitress commented that Ash was the best 1 year old customer ever! It may have helped that his meal consisted of delicious cornbread and sweet potato fries, but we're giving him the "will be fantastic in restaurants" benefit of the doubt. He'll be scooping up sushi with chopsticks in no time... Then we went on to the Storm King Art Center which is a massive sculpture park near us nestled in a beautiful Hudson Valley setting. Ash promptly fell asleep in his stroller (speaking of which, for those of you who have been reading for a while and remember the stroller debate - the Stokke Xplory really is the bomb) and the two of us enjoyed a sunny stroll through the park. On the way home we stopped by Circuit City and picked up my new favorite gadget, the RCA Small Wonder, which is a $100 solution to posting quick and easy videos to our blog. It's inexpensive, small, ridiculously easy to use, so enough already on with the videos! A first Fathers Day well spent.
Ashton said "dad" today. Really, on Fathers Day, could it get any better?

Nothing short of spectacular! Nothing but pure love, joy and zest for life comes through loud and clear - and may the rest of your lives be just like this special fathers day.
