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.

A Few More Days

Daddy is proud to report that he will onlybe away from his Princess a few more nights. Then as Mommy reminded both CJ and her Daddy that Daddy Bath Night will be back into full effect. No worried because Daddy is very much looking forward to it. Daddy did manage to hear from CJ today so he is content. We will count down the days until they come to an end. YOu all pray that Daddy and CJ make it through! Prayer changes things, people, and situations! God is MOVING!

The Last One

This is the last Sunday night that Daddy had to leave CJ. Cj did not care for it nor did Daddy. Mommy did the best should could to make the transition smooth but it did not work for the both of them. Pray for Daddy and Cj, they will get through it! Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Reading is FUNdamental!

Today Daddy and CJ needed to burn a few hours while Mommy got her hair done. So what better place than the mall. While looking around daddy saw that Borders was going out of business so he decided to stroll in. Daddy desires that CJ develops a love for reading. It is something he does not have but does all he can to encourage it with her. So Daddy let CJ pick out a book, of course it weas Dora and then he picked up a few more for her. She read one book as we went throughout the mall and then as we drove to get Mommy. Now you might be saying she can not read. I say to you, she holds the book properly, turns the pages in intervals and says words. That is reading to me. Now she may not know what she is reading but that will come.

Let us continue to pray for CJ and her intellectual growth. Daddy will do all he can to encourage and support her growth as well as epose her to the world beyond her wildest imagination. Prayer changes things, people, and situations! Reading will always be FUN in the Johnson household.

NOTE TO CJ: Book open your mind to so much. Never stop reading, there is always more to know and see.
