I am apparently so confident in my belief that my husband reads my blog so infrequently, that I have no qualms about posting about his Father's Day gift a good 36 hours before he is to receive it. If, by some chance, sweet husband, you have happened upon this page before the Father's Day celebration commences Sunday morning, well...SURPRISE! For all others who need a cute, last minute gift for Daddy's Day, look no further...
My mother-in-law, a few months back, sent me a blog post from this great blog. In it, the author shares this equally great idea for a Father's Day gift. From the moment I saw it, I knew that's what I wanted Drew to do for his daddy for Father's Day. Simple though it looks, it was quite the project...and I am glad I had the foresight to start it as early as I did! When you multiply the number of hours (or, more accurately, minutes) of "good picture" lighting our house gets a day, by the amount of time Drew is in a good enough mood to take pictures, minus the number of hours in a day that Drew is NOT outfitted with spit up, milk, etc., and THEN subtract the amount of time it takes for me to run around the house looking for the camera...well, you get the picture...I started this project several weeks ago and it just literally came together late last week. In the end, though, I LOVE the final product, and had a lot of fun choosing pictures and putting it together.
As an aside, Greg did come across the wooden A and D a few days ago and asked about them...I quickly came up with some explanation of how I was going to spell out Andrew's name to display in his bedroom...lucky me that that explanation worked out, huh? Not sure what I would have said if we had named our child something else!

What a great idea!!! I love it, and he is such a Peanut.
What a super cool idea :) LOVE IT! Think I will do the same thing only do it with the letter's of my little girl's name (she is due any time).... :) Thanks for the inspiration!
I LOVE how this turned out!
I can't wait to see it in person....when I bring over Drew's name in wooden letters! It's finished!! Good thing Greg forgot that I was doing it!
What a great idea! You should have shared this secret sooner so the rest of us could have copied you! Maybe I can remember for next year. Glad to see that Drew is growing like a weed and you guys are doing well.
That is so awesome! The present looks so great. You are such a great mom.
Adorable!! Great job!
Oh wow is that the coolest idea for Father's Day or what! I love it and will file it in the back of my mind for next year. I know what you mean about hubbies reading our blogs, mine would have no idea either!
