Happy Father's Day Solon!

For Solon's gift, I put together a scrapbook of the last 6-months or so of our life, and his journey towards his 1st Father's Day. This posting will give you an idea of what it looks like - a series of pictures of just the 2 of them (and some with our furry-son Forrest), and then some great quotes that I found that seemed fitting for his new role as a father.

** AND TO ALL OUR FAMILY & FRIENDS WHO ARE CELEBRATING FATHER'S DAY - WHETHER IT'S YOUR 1ST (AND THERE ARE MANY OF YOU) OR YOUR 30TH+ (DAD'S, GRANDPA'S ETC) - THANK YOU FOR BEING PRESENT IN YOUR CHILDREN'S LIVES, AND FOR SETTING A WONDERFUL & POSITIVE EXAMPLE! **
