Father's Day

Just wanted to post some pictures from our Father's Day. We went to the Peabosy Hotel in downtown Memphis for the MOST DELICIOUS brunch ever. The Peabody Hotel is one of the more well-known tourist places to go in Memphis, they have these ducks that march out every day at 11:00 to music and on a red carpet and then hop in this huge fountain in the lobby of the hotel and swim and play until 5:00pm, then they do their little march to music back on the red carpet to leave again. Since Scott and I hadn't been there yet with the kids, we thought that would be a good place to go for brunch. There were so many people there it was bonkers! It really wasn't that big of a deal but the kids liked the ducks and they did look pretty cute marching around. It was worth it to go there just to see the lobby, which was beautiful, and for the food....of course. The breakfast was enormous, they had an omlette station, prime rib, lobster, crab cakes, mussels, mimosas...you name it, they had it. It was really good. After brunch we went back home and took a 2 hour long "famly nap," as the kids like to call it. We watched movies together and then we all made ice cream sundaes that night. It was a really nice relaxed Father's Day. I have some pics of the house to post, but Scott is finishing the crown molding in our bathroom as I work on this, so I figured I would wait until he is done to post house pics all at once.

Daddy and Jackson avoiding the crowd around the fountain
Cute little ducky

The ceiling in the lobby, it was really pretty, my flash changed the look of the colors
Daddy with the kids at the fountain...of course, Leah HAD to touch the water just to see what it felt like :)

The flowers on top of the fountain, can you imagine what that costs them EVERY week?!
We have been making quite a few trips to Home Depot these days, the kids ALWAYS have to sit on the tractors on the way in the store and pretend to drive them
The kids making their icecream sundaes, they had a blast!!




I started work this week on the Labor and Delivery unit and the people I work with are great!! It is definitely an adjustment getting used to working at a different hospital and how they do things, but it felt good to be taking care of patients and man was it nice to get a paycheck on Friday again :) I'll post pics of the house soon!!
