A Little Tradition will Begin

My husband loves our son (obviously). He can barely contain his excitement at the idea that in a few months, we'll have another to hold and kiss and cradle and hug.  My husband also, hadn't been able to celebrate Father's Day , since he lost his Dad 23 years ago. This past year, I took the boys out and took some pictures and made the day super special, and just for him. This year, we'll do the same. 


A few posts ago, I told you about how I plan on preparing all old family pictures in our retro-modern (hopefully) dining room/living/entry way. At the stair landing, in the same room we mounted a picture of Nate and his Dad from 1980. It's old, but not that old. It's in the room, but not really. It's a perfect location. It's kind of a transition up the stairs into the modern day chaos we call the playroom. 

This is where it begins...

After I saw it, I had an Epiphany. (Oh, yes, I did!) We'll frame some photos from every Father's Day, black and white, and run them up the stairs in chronological order. Yes, that's it! I have wanted a nice tradition in photos with Gil, but I couldn't figure anything out that wasn't already tired or too corny. Here it is, we have or tradition. 

Father's Day 2011:

I'll pick two or three shots from each year, frame them and mount them.  I'll be sure to update you on this progress of this one. I guess first, we need to paint the wall!
