Sweet Tommy T. We decided it was time for him to go on a scavenger hunt of his own! As soon as he got home from his meetings, the kids were eager to give him his cards! It's so sweet to see the look on Boo's face - so excited and proud of his little card. He picked a monkey card that said, "From Your Chimp off the 'ole Block"
Karah gave him a raccoon card - in honor of Ricky. She was sure to steal a cuddle. Tom bit his lip as he gave her a squeeze and a thump. 
The hunt was on! The kids had hidden their clues all over the house. He hunted and hunted! They even hid a clue in the refrigerator. It eventually let him to the Father's Day jackpot!
Tommy T was led to our master bedroom with his last clue. Alas, he found his new flat screen TV - with the US Open playing on it! What could be better? A new TV and watching golf all day....even though Tiger ended up winning. We are so sick of him. 
So here is my chance to say a little sumpin sumpin about Tommy T. I adore him. We are so blessed to have him - both as a husband a father. He is so good to each of us - better than we probably deserve :) I love watching him with the kids - for the priority they are in his life and the constant love and affection he gives to them. He is such a great example to our kids - and they love and respect him. Recently Karah had a meltdown - totally out of control over something typical of a 5 year old freaking out about. Tom took her out on the deck and just held her and talked to her for the longest time. It was so sweet- I took a picture through the kitchen window without them knowing. We are all so blessed to have him as ours.
He is the best! It was a great Father's Day overall. He requested banana bread for his treat - and country fried steak for his special dinner. We also had grandma and grandpa and John and Shannon over that night! 5,000 calories later.........
Tom also got some personalized Titliest balls that said ,"Somebody's pita smells like corn bread!" We have a tradition on Christmas, his birthday, Father's Day, and sometimes our anniversary - that I get him a down of his favorite pro V1 Golf balls - and they have something funny written on them - a funny memory or something hilarious that had happened recently.
Last Christmas, we took the kids to a Young Single Adult Potluck. I took Karah to the bathroom and she said (extremely loudly) "SOMEBODY'S PITA SMELLS LIKE CORN BREAD!!!" In our family, "pita" is NOT pocket bread. We will just say that :) As not to desecrate Tom's Father's Day blog - I will tell the rest of that story in a new post! On that note.....We love you Tommy T!!!
