HOOPSTAR

She finally touched the rock! Well she picked up the wrong ball, the soccer ball at that. However she was yelling out ball and tossing it up like a basketball. All this while the Duke versus Wake Forest game was on. So you know this proud Papa ran to get her basketball so she would at least have the proper utensils. I have been waiting for a while for this day so you know I am excited. I even did her player introduction for her. And now the starting line up for your Duke Blue Devils. Making her first appearance at forward here in Durham, let us give a Cameron Indoor welcome to #7 C.J. Johnson! I did it in an announcers voice and she smiles from ear to ear!

Also today, Daddy and CJ were in the house all day long. By the end of the night Daddy told CJ that they can not do this again. She tried to undo everything he did. We know CJ is like her Daddy and gets claustrophobic indoors and bores easily. So no matter what we MUST see the outdoors one way or another. All in all it was a good day and now we have to get CJ to go to sleep. We allowed her to stay up tonight so she would sleep late and give Mommy a break tomorrow morning.

So pray that all goes well and that our plan works. Web know that prayer changes things, people, and situations!

Friends

Anyplace CJ goes she makes friends with anyone she meets. We wen to the diner tonight and the entire staff wanted to speak to CJ. Now yes, she did engage them but they should have known that if you talk to her she will not stop talking to you. I try to inform people of that early but CJ reels them on in. Maybe CJ should start asking to get our meals free!

More to come!

Different Evening

Mommy was not feeling well this evening and has not been feeling well for the past few days. So tonight Daddy made the decision to take CJ with him to Bible Study. CJ was cool with the situation until Daddy changed the plans. he asked his Mom if she would watch CJ and she agreed. CJ was not pleased and when Daddy left she was crying. She was fine soon thereafter. When I came to pick her back up she was glad to see her Daddy and told everyone bye! She did not even last to the corner of the block before she was sleep. I guess she was satisfied to be back with her Daddy and then felt comfortable to go to sleep. We pray Mommy will get better. We know prayer changes things, people, and situations!

Slip and Slide

What an interesting day. Today Daddy woke up to an ice storm. While he was in the shower he received a call that the school would have a delayed opening. No good for Daddy since he lives so far away and traffic would get hectic. He decided to keep getting dressed. Good thing he did because Mommy received a call saying that her school was closed. That meant Mommy and CJ got the chance to stay home while Daddy had to brave the elements.

Daddy did not see CJ again until he returned home from a meeting down at the church. She was waiting for her dinner which never came. Luigi's on 516 in Old bridge will hear it tomorrow. She had just had her hair washed with her new products and she smelled so ethnic with natural African American hair care products. I like the shampoo and can't wait to use it.

CJ is sleeping soundly and Daddy is about to join her. Daddy thanks God for traveling mercy today. prayer does change things, people, and situations including road conditions.

One Shining Moment

At the end of the NCAA Mens Basketball Championship game, as the credits role and all the commentator's have had their say one song plays. That is, "One Shining Moment". It nearly brings me to tears when I hear and that is the feeling I felt tonigt. CJ had been put to bed but I guess she was not ready to go to sleep so of course she whined. For the past few weeks we have just let her be but tonight Daddy was in the room so he sat down and talked to CJ for a bit. She then gave him a hug and he just held her head to his face. He got her pillow and when she felt like letting go she laid down. Aw man that moment tonight felt great. I will savor it for a long time.

I pray we have many more moments. If we keep praying we will. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

It's Morning

CJ slept the entire evening from about 5PM until. The question is when will she wake up? Daddy will fill you in tomorrow morning.

Just Highlights

Due to the late hour and the bunch of work Daddy has to do tonight and get rest you will only get highlights of the day.

CJ and Daddy had Saturday breakfast as usual.

Daddy and CJ were able to see both the TCNJ Women's and Men's basketball team lose today. Making shots was a problem. CJ cheered for the wrong team but as Mommy said maybe she just wanted to support the winners.

CJ visited the sitter and got her hair done.

Daddy and Mommy bough their own toothpaste no more using CJ's.

Keep us in prayer, as always prayer changes things, people, and situations!
