So with Ed’s big 40th falling on Mothers Day this year, I gladly forfeited celebrations so we could focus on his big milestone. Then, we found out a very good friend will be visiting from Germany and staying with us during Fathers Day weekend, and although he probably wouldn’t mind celebrating what a great Dad Ed is with us, we thought it would be better to just combine the two into our own holiday this year. So this Sunday, June 8th, we celebrated Parents Day.
To start things off, Ed totally surprised me with an awesome turntable and a set of 3 re-issued Sun Records 45s by Third Man Records! I was completely stunned and speechless after receiving this gift. I had NO IDEA this was coming (he told me no gifts!) and I am so incredibly excited to finally start a vinyl collection! It’s going to be pretty cool that Ruby will grow up knowing what a record is, too.
We kinda lagged on getting out of the house because we were listening to records, and by the time we headed out for lunch, Ruby crashed out in the car. So we went to our favorite Taqueria, ordered burritos, and ate them in the car while Ruby slept. It wasn’t fancy, but it was totally delicious.
After Ruby woke up, we went to our favorite coffeeshop in the LBC, Berlin, and sat outside while sipping on cappuccinos. Fingerprints Music is right next store, so I also got a chance to browse the vinyl! When I found this Patsy Cline LP, I knew it would be the perfect inaugural purchase for me!
So while it may not have been a typical Mothers Day/Fathers Day celebration — it was a day having fun with our little family of three. It was perfect!
