Father's Day!

Happy Happy Fathers day! Last week..... This is what I got my husband for Fathers day

(Click on it to look at the whole book) He likes the small books (this one is 5x5), so he can carry them around and show them off. What a sweetheart! I am planning on doing a more complete Wedding album later, but probably not until I finish the "How We Met/Fell Completely in Love" story. That should be done by Christmas.
