Happy Father’s Day weekend to the handful of dads reading—which may in fact only be the three key ones in my life—Aron, my dad, and my father-in-law! As I write this, I can hear Aron reading bedtime stories to the kids, and I’m thinking how lucky they are—and how lucky I am. We’ll do our best to let him know this Sunday!
I apologize for the irregular posting of late—school is out and summer camps are not kicking into full swing for at least another week, so I’ve been keeping busy with the kids. The temperature is rising in Davis, so we’ve escaped to Lake Tahoe for the weekend. Next week—I predict—will require lots of swimming and popsicles.
Does it feel like summer where you are? Any special plans for Father’s Day?
Have a good weekend! A few links in the meantime…

And, finally, Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
