Father's Day

Mark awoke this morning to get his girls ready for church. Courtney headed to church early to prepare for singing. He found a nice card waiting for him from Courtney wishing him a Happy Father's Day. After church, we headed downtown to Ruby Tuesdays for a good lunch with friends. After lunch, we pawned Katelee off on our friends so she could return home for a good nap (thanks friends!!!). Then, Mark, Courtney, and Olivia headed to the movie theater to watch "UP." It was a great movie (and in 3D)! After the movie, we headed back toward the base. However, as we drove by the Micronesia Mall, a tractor beam pulled us into the parking lot, into the garage, and into Cold Stone Creamery for some ice cream!!! Stupid tractor beam! After we broke free from its grip, we made it back home in time to head to a friend's house. We were able to do a fair Welcome Back to him from deployment. And now, the girls are in bed asleep, "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman is playing, and Mark is a happy father. What a day!
