OK, so I am going to combine the last two days into one post. Yesterday was full but Daddy did not get in until late do he did not have the opportunity to blog. So yesterday we went to Turtle Back Zoo. I will begin by saying that, that may have not been the best choice of family trip for the day. We went early to beat the heat but when the temperature is going to hit ninety plus their is no such thing as beating the heat. So I applied the sun screen, dressed CJ cool, had water and Gatorade to keep us hydrated and away we went. The first stop were the penguins, then the prairie dogs, we saw llama's, sheep, a bear, gibbon's a horse (it pooped a lot)and many other animals. We took Brooks(CJ's cousin)since he stayed the night after hanging with his Uncle the entire week while attending basketball camp.
The day was all I wished for and more. We took a lot of pics to remember the trip and Daddy took one with his Princess and she smiled ear to ear. Next stop is the aquarium or a museum I still have to decide. CJ looked when she wanted too, I wish she could tell me what she lied the best. She did stare a lot at the gibbons who swung around there maze of ladders. We will go to a bigger zoo when she gets a little older. Brooks has already prepared me to be sure I visit the Gift Shop too.
Now today was a planned lazy day. I planned to prepare brunch, check! Go get Mommy and CJ food for the week, check! Other than that the agenda was to lay around the house and do nothing. When we finally left the house around six o'clock I whispered to Mommy that I really enjoyed spending a day in the house lounging and have to do that more often.
Today was the first Daddy Bath Night in a long time. I asked CJ to take it easy on me and cooperate to make thinks quick. I was glad when she made my request a reality. I bathed her, greased her up then held her as I tried, unsuccessfully to put her down for the night. It was something I wanted to do because I miss doing so throughout the week. Only two more weeks in absentia to go and then I will be home nightly. I can not wait for the 29th of July to get here.
So after a great, fun-filled weekend it is back to business starting tomorrow with 8am Worship and then 10am Worship as well, then it is back down to Trenton to deal with other people's children. They are growing but not like I want them too. Nonetheless, they provide me with the lesson I need to begin to develop for Ms. CJ Johnson and her maturation. Nothing crazy folks but some of these students really could have you a sound foundation and some discipline and order in their lives.
So until I get a chance to get back to the blog, you all take care. I promise to try and post every day this week. Even if it has to be during the day. You all pray for CJ and her Daddy as they are absent from one another. We all know prayer changes things, people, and situations so we know God has a plan for Daddy's career!
NOTE TO CJ: I want you to know that Daddy misses you very much while he is away at work. The one thing that lights up my day is when I come home on Thursday nights and you kiss my head (I do not know why she chooses to do so but I will not complain) and smile and reach out to me! It makes Daddy feel all good and mushy on the inside.
