Fill In Hairdresser

Normally CJ gets her hair done by the sitters daughter. However, today because the weekend would not allow it CJ had to find someone else to do her hair. Almost two-year olds have all the problems. Daddy dropped Mommy and CJ off at his sisters to for the appointment and then went off to try and get his own hair cut for which he was successful. After all the hair was done it was off to the church for a long day of worship. Now do not misunderstand this, we are made to worship and Daddy and CJ love to worship, we just had to build ourselves up today since we were dead tired. But when we think of the goodness of Jesus and all he has done for us, our souls cry out hallelujah! So we worshiped, then worshiped some more. In between CJ caught a nap and Daddy caught a hot dog. They came back together and worshiped some more! Since our hair was done we looked darn good doing it!

Worship ended but the day did not stop there. CJ needed to come home and take a bath and Daddy had two pans of peach cobbler to conquer. They both stopped to eat first and Daddy is happy to report that CJ is clean and sleep and he is about packed to go tomorrow and the second cobbler is in the oven.

For this is the day that the Lord has made, Daddy and CJ rejoiced and are glad in it! We packed a lot in but we began and ended in prayer. Prayer changes things, people, and situations!

For July 8th

When Daddy got home all he was able to do was sleep. He had to stay at work longer than expected, then had to fight through a rains storm to get home. he was wet, tired, and hungry. However through all of that the first smile from CJ made him forget about the ride home and the delay. CJ came to him and the famous words came out her mouth, "Hi Daddy!" Once Daddy heard Cj's voice is day was made and he was satisfied. After dinner Cj was bathed and Daddy fell out. They both have a bit much to do today so pray that they make it through. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

It About Time

Well after tonight Daddy will get to see CJ! He talked with her briefly today and he is ready to get home to see her. Daddy is praying that all the students leave early so he can get to her. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Just A Few Words

Today I spoke with CJ a few times and she did not have much to say. This is odd for her. Usually CJ has a lot to say to Daddy. Daddy wonders if she is upset that he is not around. Maybe the, "Daddy is at work," phrase is not working any longer. Daddy was a little bit sad. Daddy prays that she will understands the sacrifices made by him and how they affect her as well. Daddy's change will come. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

For July 5th, 2011

OK, so I am a few minutes late. The computer downstairs took to long to load. Well I am back down at the college, away from my Princess. When I called home today it seemed like she and Mommy were having a solid time. She talked to me each time I called and told Daddy bye-bye clearly. Daddy is dealing with the time away by working on CJ's birthday stuff. Nothing much just a family trip to the zoo and a Dora cake. CJ loves Dora and Diego so Daddy wants to surprise her with a cake reflecting such.

Today was OK but Daddy hopes that the week will go by quickly so he can see his baby girl again. God is moving and we will not have to be separate during the summers much in the future. Keep praying for us, prayer changes things, people, and situations!

I Love You Daddy!

While everyone else in the world was watching the fireworks in New York on television or at their local park, CJ was creating fireworks of her own. Ladies and gentlemen CJ is close to clearly saying I Love You Daddy! She is saying it now and Daddy understands it but the clarity is close. This will be the moment that Daddy is no more good.

Daddy spent the entire day with CJ today becasue he has to go to work for the week tomorrow morning. So that meant whatever CJ wanted for the most part she got, Mommy of course was not pleased. When daddy went off to bed she told daddy that she loved him. Nothing could have made my day brighter than that staement. Daddy is going to miss his Princess for the next few days but will call her daily to hear those great words.

Keep praying for us folks, prayer changes things, people, and situations!

Laying Around

Daddy can not recolect much of the evening. What he can remember is that he and CJ did a lot of sleeping. Daddy tried to stay awake through television shows and CJ climbing all over her him but the weariness upon his body set in. CJ was weary too, she slept through the early part of the night, Cj climbed on her Daddy's back and rested. Daddy and Cj also shared popcorn together. Even though daddy tries to limit her intake CJ gets handfuls of kernals and stuffs them in her mouth.

Daddy and Mommy both recognized how CJ was behaving better in church lately. She did yell out, "Good Morning, Daddy" when Daddy stood up this morning but after that you did not even know she was there. This is with no toys or gimmicks people. Daddy is pleaased with the progress and prays it continues. Prayer changes things, people, and situations! Now Dady needs to occupy himself since he is well rested now.
