MIni-Session

Today CJ and Daddy had an impromptu mini-session. Mommy needed to go get her hair done so that meant that Daddy and CJ would be alone for a few hours. Usually that means fun for Daddy but today CJ just wanted to be clingy. Today was the first day I saw her pay more attention to Daddy than the television. So Daddy held her and made her feel comfortable. They researched some stuff online and then listened to music of course.

The time together was appreciated and needed. Anytime Daddy and CJ can be together is a great thing. Daddy really desires for the father/daughter relationship to be strong. So he does not mind spending quality time with CJ.

So keep praying for us! Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Memorial Day 2011

Well today CJ and Daddy celebrated Labor Day a few months early. Since we were intelligent and had our barbecue yesterday we were able to stay home and relax today. This was something we both needed, too. CJ and Daddy live life going all the time. Going to work, going to the sitter, going to meetings, going to outings and many other goings. So when a day comes that we can do absolutely nothing we grab hold of it. Today we woke up late, praise be to God, watched all our favorite television shows, we ate snacks, listened to music, we got a little bit of reading in, and lounged all day! At the end of the day we do not even know what to do with ourselves. CJ is quiet but now fighting her sleep. Daddy is well rested and ready to hit the bed, and Mommy is trying to fight some sort of sickness that CJ and Daddy both pray we do not get.

At 10:12pm CJ is still up. She is very delirious but still will not give in. This was a very memorable day. We remembered those who fought for our freedom and we remembered to take some time to ourselves. Praise God for relaxation. You all continue to lift CJ and Daddy in prayer. We have a long road of ups and downs ahead but we know the rainbows will out number the clouds. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

BBQ on Memorial Day

Today was an action packed day for CJ during the BBQ after church. The HOly Spirit worked through Daddy but today CJ fell asleep. After worship today the family cooked out on the grill. CJ decided that today she would be a walking terror. CJ had a ball. She went throughout the house in search of anything that looked like it could a beverage. She took cups of water, cans of soda, and even her cousins cup. She drank what was left and in some cases poured out onto the floors the contents. At one point CJ had a cup with a little water in it. She decided that she wanted to splash her uncle King Duke with water. So she lunged at him unexpectedly and she got him. All he could do was laugh as CJ sprawled on the floor cracking herself up. He could not do anything but laugh too.

CJ was so tired from all her activity that she fell asleep in the car during the ride home. Not to worry though, she woke up as soon as Daddy put the car in park. She continued to wear herself down until it was bath time. She went to bed without much fuss tonight. Daddy enjoys watching CJ be a inquisitive menace. She is not bad but explorative and wants to get into any and everything she can. Daddy finds it cute! This evening Daddy watched "My Family Wedding" tomorrow he will critique during the day because the father daughter relationship in the wedding taught him something that he wants to ponder. So as you pray keep Daddy and CJ's relationship in mind. Prayer changes, things, people, and situations.

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.
