A Day of Relaxation

For the last few days Daddy has been trying to get a much rest as possible. OK, let me be serious Daddy's body would give out on me and this morning was no different. Daddy's mind had all intention on getting up at 6:00am, Daddy's body had other plans and did not get out of bed until CJ came into the room at 9:00am telling him to do so.

So it was not a normal Saturday morning with Daddy being home. It was Mommy that fixed CJ breakfast and Mommy who she watched cartoons with. Daddy was not jealous he just was tired and needed his rest. So when Daddy finally was up and ready Mommy had gone back to bed and left CJ and Daddy together. Daddy was trying to focus on work for tomorrow and has to admit that CJ was very cooperative. However a little girl can only entertain herself for so long and then turned to Daddy for entertainment.

So Daddy paused from his work and played with his Princess. Ok it was more of CJ doing what she wanted to do and Daddy asking her to stop. The only time she really wanted to be bothered with her Daddy for a length of time was when she wanted to use him as a pillow. Daddy does not mind as long as she is quiet and careful.

Today everyone pretty much bummed around the house. We did not engage in much. We all had very long weeks and needed the recovery time. Besides Daddy always enjoys spending th day with his Princess and Mommy.

Another cloud is over us and we will just have to pray through it. You all pray with us and for us. One thing we do know is that prayer changes things, people, and situations!

Another One

Another long day.

The Day After

Daddy was tired. A zombie! Will explain later.

Driving Ms. Daisy

Well today I learned a valuable lesson for the umpteenth time. That lesson is that your child sees everything you do. Today Daddy played chauffeur for Uncle Duke's Senior Prom. Daddy played the part, dressed in black, wore a hat, and rented a huge SUV for the occasion. So while we were waiting for the date to get ready CJ lured her great-aunt to bring her over to the truck to see her Daddy. So of course Daddy pulled her through the window and sat him on her lap. CJ then proceeded to change the radio station and turn the volume up and down. That is pretty understandable. What is not as understandle is how she then grabbed the steering wheel and acted as if she was driving. Then on top of that, she started to dance while driving similar to how her Daddy does when he is driving. I could only shake my head and laugh. CJ has all eyes on Daddy back in that car seat I guess.

Well I have to be brief tonight. The chaufeurring continues at 11 so I want to at least sit in one place and chill out until then. Pray for Daddy and CJ, so they will not get pulled over for dancing while driving. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Wearing Different Hats

Daddy decided last week that he would attempt to wear a hat. He purchased a pretty stylish one and we shall see where this goes. How this all ties into the day is that on the ride home CJ wanted to play with Daddy's hats. The new one was out of her reach but one another hat of mine was placed where she could reach it. As Daddy drives he always looks back to see what CJ is doing at a light. When Daddy looked back this particular time CJ had put on his hat and was dancing. Daddy tried to snap a quick picture but she took the hat off quickly.

CJ always finds Daddy's hats and then loses them. She likes hats sometimes and then other times she will throw them when you try to put in on her. Seeing her mess with the hat was a bit funny today and of course after a long day at work Daddy needs a laugh from his beautiful Princess. WHo is is really coming into her own. You all keep praying for us, we are doing the best we can. Prayer changes things, people, and situations!

Back Together Again

So after two days of being in the wilderness while CJ dwelled in the big city, Daddy and CJ are back together. Daddy kept strong and sis not speak with her until we arrived in JC and upstairs to see CJ face to face. Or in her case face to booty, since her Aunt was lathering her up with way too much Eucerin. So as soon as she was dressed CJ made her way to her Daddy and took residence around his neck. I guess in her head she said I am not going to let go this time. It was funny that the exact same situation presented itself today. Daddy needed to use the bathroom but this time CJ was hip to it. She would not allow Daddy to put her down. Each time Daddy tried she latched on tighter and tigher. When we could wait no longer, Mommy literally needed to pry CJ off of Daddy. She fussed a bit but soom settled down. Daddy came back out just like Saturday and Mommy needed to leave, CJ again was not having it. Eventually CJ got it all together and realized that she was not being left today. Daddy hopes this does not linger over until tomorrow morning when we need to go to work.

The evening brought us all back to reality. CJ was up to her old antics and Daddy and Mommy had to be on top of her every move. We enjoyed dinner together once again and then CJ was off to bed. It is good to be back home as a unit. We made it through the first nights away from each other. Keep praying that we do even better the next time this has to occur. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Out Of Sight But Not Out Of Mind

Today was day two of CJ and Daddy not being together. Even though she was out of sight, Daddy soent every minute of the day thinking about his Princess. Dadddy chooses not to talk with her, he feels like it would give her false hope. Instead he quietly anticipates the huge hug CJ will give him when she lays her eyes upon him. Mommy delivers the message that she is doing just fine as Daddy thought she would. Nonetheless tomorrow is coming and Daddy is going to get his child. All weekend Daddy wondered, what was on CJ's mind. Also he has learned that two days withought hearing "Daddy, Daddy" is too long for him.

So the first time is coming to an end and Daddy and CJ will be back to creating havoc. Continue to pray for us during these type of days. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.
