Birthday Gift

CJ's birthday is Sunday and Daddy has not a clue of what he will get her for a gift. Daddy does noit like stuff that will not be memorable. He would much rather find her a keepsake that will grow with her or be a milestone gift. Last year was a horse, all kids have to et one of those. Now Daddy is stuck with year two. So now he must think about this and does not have time to do so. We shallsee what he comes up with. Pray for him, prayer changes things, people, and situations.

High 5 Daddy

Today CJdid the following:

*When we came home Daddy let her run to the house. Normally she turns at our door but today she kept running. Both Daddy and Mommy stopped and watched her Daddy called her name and she turned around, smiled, and then proceeded to run further. Daddy them went after her and she decided to lie in the grass, pull it up, and then put it in her mouth. Daddy got there in the nick of time and retrieved most of it but he is sure she digested some.

*During dinner CJ was in a goofy state of mind. She decided to tap her fingers on the table then proceeded to give her Mommy and Daddy hi-fives. This went on for a while before Daddy asked her to be a serios child not a goofy one. CJ then laughed some more.

*Today she got in trouble with Daddy and CJ really does not like to be in trouble. After she was allowed to get up fron her chair she came to her Daddy. She would not do anything until she told Daddy she was sorry and he held her. Daddy comforted her and exlained why she was in trouble. It was a touching moment for him.

Pray that Daddy and CJ always have a positive and respectful relationship where he respects her and she respects him. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

A School Week

Yes it is the summer but Daddy and CJ are in the midst of it being like a regular work week.

A Big Brunch

Daddy has been waiting todo this for a long time and today the opportunity presented itself. Daddy has gone to a deli called Harolds a lot for lunch and usually gets sandwiches. During his last trip there he realized that the deli also served breakast so he decided then that he would take the family one day. Now when he decided today would be the day he figured that his entire family would partake in a meal together, for this place makes it possible for two or more to eat from one plate. However Mommy chose not to eat breakfast with Daddy and CJ and wanted a hamburger instead. Now Daddy knew the meals were big but was not ready for the plate he received. Thank God for the waiter warning Daddy not to get three pancakes. When he brought it out Daddy saw why, the pancake was the size of a larger pizza. So big that Daddy and CJ together did not even eat a third of it. We will not even mention the eggs and bacon with the potoatoes we never touched. CJ seemed to like the pancake but was not too hungry after she had a milk prior to arrival and orange juice at the table. The report on Harold's breakfast is a good one and Mommy promised to eat with the family the next time we go.

Once we arrived home CJ was pooped. We were out a little longer than expected and it wore her out I gather. When we came in the house she went to sleep and Daddy was able to watch the Food Netowrk in peace. Usually she takes ownership of the television so its Nick Jr. or nothing. While playing she fell on her face today and her lip is swollen but you all know CJ, she takes a licking and keeps on ticking. She cried but was ready to play with Daddy when he grabbed her bouncy ball. She is a tough cookie and growing more and more tough as she grows. Let us all pray she stays in one peace as she dares to do more. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

NOTE TO CJ: Take your time sometime, do not always be in such a hurry!

She Ate Well

Due to funeral planning daddy was not at the house much today. He gave CJ and kiss when he left and she seemed to be OK with this. Daddy des not know if she just getting use to him leaving her, or was it that she truly understood that today was different and that Daddy would be back. Nevertheless when Daddy came home today he brought dinner in with him fr his two ladies. Daddy noticed that CJ ate particularly well today. She was not messy and she actually ate most of her food. Daddy noticed it and congratulated her. Daddy enjoys watching her be more and more of a big girl. That is about it tonight folks. Keep us prayed up. Prayer changesthings, people, and situations.

Home

I am home! Let the good times roll. Daddy's program is over and he came straight home to CJ. Let us pray that we both have some fun. Prayer changes things, people, and situations. Daddy is tired, stay tuned for more.

An Overnight Look

Circumstances allowed Daddy to gaze upon CJ tonight. While he was driving home he heard her voice but when he arrived she was sleepand Daddy honored Mommy's request not to bother her. Pray for Daddy he will need to be stronger than usual but with God he will be OK. Prayer changes things, people, and situations! One more night until Daddy is home for good.
