Out ALL Day

What was suppose to be a quick trip out ended up being a full days long of traveling. By the end of the night CJ was worn out and is now asleep without even a whimper. The day was extended all because of her. Mommy and Daddy feel they need a new lightweight stroller for CJ. One that she is comfortable in and one that is compact. What we thought would be an in and out process resulted in a hour or more of searching and coming up empty. We have some leads but will wait to decide.

CJ and fmaily made our first trip to Perkins Restaraunt today. CJ enjoy herself, of course speaking to everyone around. She also cleaned up on pancakes too. So the day is over time to chill and relax. Please pray for Daddy, he has to work all day long tomorrow and it is the start of a seven day work week for him. Keep praying, prayer changes things, people. and situations. We know God has better than this in store!

Mommy, Daddy, CJ

So tonight was the second consecutive night that Daddy was awasy from home. He dropped his Princess off at 8:00am and did not get home to at least look at her until 10:30pm. Daddy has vowed to have breakfast and watch cartoon with CJ tomorrow morning. He will stop at nothing to spend time with her royal highness.

So yesterday CJ began to say something as we rode home. Daddy needed to lower his radio to hear her say, "Mommy, Daddy, CJ" Now that trio does spend a lot of time together and by the sound of it CJ identifies that fact. She sounds so cute saying it too. What a great kid! I get excited anytime someone asks about her. Talking about Daddy's baby helps him to not think about the time they are apart. God id working on it, the increase and movement is on the way. Lets keep praying, prayer chnages things, people, and situations!

I Want To GO

CJ p[layed the same stunt she played with Mommy on me today. I was leaving out to go down to the school for organizational elections. As I made my way to the stairs she began to say, "I want to go." She then proceeded to go for her coat but what she picked up were her snowsuit pants. She began to cry and said, "I want to go" again. Daddy was crushed on the inside and I would bet a tear dropped. Nevertheless Daddy needed to go and MOmmy came and comforted CJ. Daddy promised to have something for her when she woke up so I guess I need to find something between now and then. YOu all pray for me because currently I have nothing. Daddy believes that prayer changes things, people, and situations.

She Left Me

Once we arrived home, a little earlier than normal we all relaxed. Then Mommy began to look for her phone and could not find it. So Mommy decided to go back to the car and look for it. The only thing was that CJ insisted on going with her. She was so determined that she went and picked up her coat and said, "I want to go." Usually CJ would be cool with staying with Daddy but today she left me.

Daddy went to church so our evening together was brief. When Daddy arrived home CJ was sleeping. So, please remember to keep us in prayer. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

The Yellow House

All the great-grandkids refer to the house Daddy gre up in as "The Yellow House" I do not know why but this is what they have become comfortable with. Now my daughter, CJ to be exact, lol, has chosen to deal differently with trhe yellow house. If we refer back some time ago now she had her hair done there. Now, everytime we pull in to the drieveway or in front of the house she begins to cry. The crying does not stop there, it linger once we hit the stairs, crack the door, and sometimes well into our stay. Daddy just does not understand why she acts up in this manner. Eveyrone around pays her no attention so it does not edge her on. Daddu ignores her too because she needs to learn how to interact with other people. She will not sit with her grandparents, uncles, aunts, not even the little cousins.

This is becoming a problem becasue CJ will need to stay with other people on the rare occasion Mommy and Daddy have things to do together. We are doing our best to train her but she seems to be fighting us tooth and nail. It is good to know that Daddy knows how to fix it. Prayer, it changes things, people, and situations and yet again my darling, darling baby fits all three categories.

Hi Daddy!

Daddy had a phone call so he did not go inside with Mommy to pick CJ up from the babysitter. Daddy wonders whaty she was thinking when she saw Mommy alone. Daddy di nto have to wait long to find out. Sooner than later you heard the words, "Hi, Daddy" in a high pitched voice full of love. Daddy turned around to look at his Princess and return her greeting. Daddy had a long day which has left him fatigued this evening but he has had to keep pressing. He even realized that he would be out of the house every night this week so he volunteered to change Daddy/Daughter Bath Night to today. CJ was not feeling a bath period but Daddy pressed on and completed the task. He lotined her up, dressed her, and prayed with her. Now todya becasue we went food shopping the bath occured before dinner. Mommy insisted on covering CJ with a big shirt so she did not get dirty. However, CJ did not want to comply and took most of it off and did not make a mess. After dinner CJ told Mommy good night, she only say's "Night!" though. Daddu gave her a big kiss then laid her down for the night. She laid down rather calmly and that is a good thing. Keep praying my friends, prayer changes things, people, and situations!

Singles Action

So ususally CJ and Daddy both get to say Amen in church. However today Daddy coul donly hear his voice and not CJ's as the word was procalimed. Daddy does not know whether or not it was no clothes or laundry that kept CJ at home but their was no tag team action in worship today. SO of course Daddy prayed for both CJ and Mommy. The ride to and from church was lonely but Daddy found a CD with some great preaching to accompany me.

The highlight of the day of course was arriving home to the chant of Daddy coming from my princess. That word makes Daddy melt and a huge smile come upon his face. So keep praying that CJ makes Daddy smile and that Daddy always gives CJ a reason to smile. We know that prayer changes things, people, and situations!
