This morning, Joe and I let Patrick sleep in before opening presents. Here is what he got:

This turtle figurine came from our local Ten Thousand Villages shop, which has all kinds of nifty little things from all over the world. It looked to me like Patrick and Joe, so it came home with us!

This is a Joe original. Watch for it on “Antiques Roadshow” 100 years from now — it will be worth gazillions!

The big gift won’t be ready for a couple of weeks — we’re having Patrick’s shiny new master’s degree matted and framed for hanging!

Then we went out for lunch and a little shopping. But first — a snuggle:

Happy Fathers Day also to Joe’s Papa Burt and Grandpa Mike!
