Back At It

Today was a good day. CJ went back to the sitter. Daddy went back to work. CJ ate and drank today. All seems to be getting better. We did get off to a real late start but you should expect that after a two day layoff. When we came to pick CJ up from the babysitter she ran to the door and greeted MOmmy and Daddy with a smile. Then after standing idle for a while she dove toward daddy and hugged his legs. Now you all know that is the best feeling in the world for Daddy. He picked CJ up and proceeded to give her a kiss!

Daddy is really glad that CJ is doing better. Her being sick started to wear down on him. He would always rather her to be her loud, over the top, and inquisitive self. This is the CJ you have to chase around the house and watch her laugh as she does tries to outrun you. Tonight was Daddy bath night and we read a book out Babies. CJ actually sat still while I read to her. We then prayed and she fell asleep immediately. I am glad she is not sick anymore. She is not 100% but close and Daddy will take it. That is while he still uses the nose sucker to get the mucus out of her nose.

So keep praying for CJ's health. Prayer changes things, people, and situations. She is better all because of prayer.

NOTE TO CJ: Princess be sure to plan in advance so you are not caught by surprise. Plan in your studies and recreational life. That way you can handle the unexpected because you have considered most of them already.

On Lock

Instead of getting up and going to work for the past two days Daddy has been getting up to stay home with CJ. By 11:00am yesterday I was ready to go to work. CJ's had a very bad cold and it really was getting the best of her. The one thing small children can not do is communicate how they feel the way adults ay want them too. CJ would not eat, she would not drink, her nose kept running, and for some reason her diaper still needed to be changed. I respect all babysitter's because I was not made for this.

Daddy just prays she gets better. We all know that being locked up in the house for two days straight was not his cup of tea. Daddy is a busy body and wall make him feel boxed in. So when you pray tonight CJ's health should be at the tip of your list. Daddy believes that prayer changes things, people, and situations.

A Late Start

We knew it would hit sooner or later and at about 3:45am it was verified that CJ was indeed sick. Her nose was running, her cough was more frequent and she had a fever. Daddy of course hates when his Princess is sick and made sure she had everything she needed before he left out for work. We tried to fight the cold and CJ stood strong as long as she could but the cold got tough in the last round. When CJ does not eat or drink you know there is a problem.

When Daddy came home he did manage to get her to eat a few potatoe wedges and drink some water. Daddy was glad to see tgat CJ was loud and running around when he came home. CJ is actually now fighting her sleep as I type so the tide is turning and Daddy is glad. CJ is his partner in crime and he needs her to be well to help create havoc.

So you all keep praying for her health and strength. We know that prayer changes things, people, and situations. Her health needs to get right.

Could Not Make It

Daddy and CJ had a long day. Church at 8am and 11am. Then we had to rush home to prepare for company later on in the day. CJ has many sisters and brothers and a few came over to have dinner with Daddy and Mommy and of course visit CJ. CJ could not make it for the entire visit because the hour was late and CJ has been up and down with a bad cough.

The cough is a bit nerve wrecking because nothing ever comes up. I am glad she does not have a fever. She is also eating and still getting into everything that is not nailed down. Daddy does get a little worried when his little mamma is not 100%. She is a little ball of energy and you come to expect that at all times. Daddy just prays that whatever it is that she has goes away. You all pray too, prayer changes things, people, and situations. Prayer can get rid of that nasty cough too.

Packed

This weekend was suppose to be a free and enjoyable one. It still has been enjoyable but not free at all. %t has been busy and Daddy is exhausted. We have two church services tomorrow and we have guests tomorrow evening. So much to do with so little time. Pray for us.

TIRED

Daddy was tired, Mommy was tired, even CJ was tired when we all got together after our long day. We were suppose to go shopping but we did not feel like it. We instead went to the mall, walked around then went to dinner. At dinner, tonight it was the Olive Garden, CJ continued to speak to everyone she came in contact with. She spoke to the other babies around but they did not return her greetings. The waitress fell in love with her and could not stay away from the table. The only bad thing was that CJ hit some little girl as she walked past our table. Daddy told her that she should not do that, hopefully she understands.

We came home and Daddy bathed CJ. It is Thursday so you know the routine. Daddy prepared her for bed and as he prayed with her she leaned her head against Daddy's and dozed off. So Daddy quickly read the 23 Psalm to her and mentioned to her that one day she would memorize it.

So a long day has come to an end, God brought us through. We pray that we get rejuvenated. We know that prayer changes things, people, and situations. Keep us in your effectual and fervent prayer!

NOTE TO CJ: Some times your body will tell you to rest even when your mind is active and trying to do more and more. It is tough to get your mind in sync with your body. Rest is essential to your health so try to get as much of it as you can.

The Last I Saw

The last I saw of CJ it was about 7:30am this morning. When I looked back to say goodbye she was still asleep. So Mommy took her inside and Daddy work day began. I arrived home around 10:30pm to find her sleeping. So I kissed my finger and placed them on her cheek.

So Daddy prayerfully will see his Princess awake! So Daddy solicits your prayers. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.
