Ok, I know I blogged Friday night but I do not know what happened. So let me catch you up on the events of the weekend. For starters when we arrived home Friday night CJ's Justin Tuck #91 Giants jersey was waiting for us on the stoop. This meant that CJ would be able to watch her first football games in uniform. Daddy was very excited because what he wanted came to be.
So we had to get up really early to begin our tour Saturday. We left the house around 8am. we needed to get Mommy where she needed to be first. Then we headed to East Orange to see Jihad play. We needed to leave at the half because Daddy had a meeting at church he was obligated to attend. The game was under control so we felt confident in making our way out. We traveled four minutes to the church and Daddy obeyed all traffic laws. We arrived at the church to find that not many people were out. Daddy thought to himself we could have stayed at the game but we went inside and learned about the upcoming year of ministry for the church.
After the church meeting we had a break before it was time to go see Brooks play in his first official game...he did well too. CJ, as always, was very social in the stands. One mother said that CJ could sit next to her anytime because she was so well behaved. She also felt the need to bother her uncle Jihad by pulling his ear and laughing when he reacted. The good thing was that Brooks' team won the game!
So then we needed to wait for Mommy so we could go home and get to bed. It was a little longer than expected but she finally called us to let us know she was ready. As soon as she hit the car, CJ fell asleep. If I had to assess the day I would say we earned an A+. CJ learned when and when not to cheer. Mommy did not call every five minutes. Daddy and CJ did not strangle each other, and we supported everyone who needed it yesterday. We arrived home too late for CJ and Mommy to make it to church so Daddy raced home as soon as he could today. I almost forgot to mention that CJ is walking more and more. Pretty soon she will be running behind the other children, and they all are given notice to watch out.
CJ is asleep now, without much fuss today. I enjoyed our time together. Once she gains even more confidence, she and I will be a duo to be reckoned with. So pray for our strength and nurturing. We are not perfect but we allow God's will to be done in our lives and we know we can not go wrong with that. So keep praying, prayer continues to change things, people, and situations!
