Jackson is still learning to speak, (well, properly,) and I taught him this morning to tell his Daddy "Happy Daddy Day!" Which he says PERFECTLY! I normally don't post on Sundays, but this Sunday was really special.
For the past 6 months or so, Doc & Scott have been working together to make things even easier than they had been on us and on Jackson. Scottie & Doc regularly talk on the phone, text and talk during exchanges for Jacks. They've always got along great, never had an issue whatsoever. But within the past month, I'd say, they've been really pulling out all of the stops. Scott - with a whole-hearted attempt to be there for Doc when his sister passed, someone who Scott had only had the opportunity of meeting one time, just about a month before her passing. Scottie & Jackson spent that week together so that I could be up at the hospital with Doc - and Scott made sure they got down on their knees each an every night to say a prayer for "Auntie Mo". He also made an appearance at her memorial, knowing literally no one there besides our immediate family. And Doc, calling Scott on a random afternoon, just to tell him how appreciated he is, how much he respects him, and how much having a good relationship between the two of them means to him. They're both great guys. Fabulous Dads. Best friends of mine.
Today, for Father's Day. We decided to truly blend our families and invited Scottie & Scott Corbin (Scottie's room-mate and best friend) over for lunch. They guys arrived at noon and spent the day getting to know more about our family and how we function together as a blended one. We talked and hung out, played with our kids and had a few drinks and yumm-o food. It was so nice to be able to have Jackson's dad and Jamyn's dad both there at the same time, enjoying their day with their kids and the company of one another.
They are truly 2 awesome guys - props to Doc & Scottie!
I think it is GREAT that you are able to get along so well with Scottie. My parents are always able to make nice well enough that I am able to share holidays with BOTH of them. It is so nice not to have to choose between them. My Dad was able to get along really well with Bill, and Kenny too, sort of.. How lucky your boys are to have such a lovely little extended family. :)
