A Nearly Totally Daddy Saturday

Wow, what a daddy and daughter and son Saturday! A common beginning with Daddy up early and off to his Saturday morning job, but then…zoom, zoomJ.

Mommy had to be in Lafayette working all day, so when Daddy returned home from work we three (Bodhi, Buddha, and Big DaddyJ) were off in the carriage to the Farmer’s Market, where we were greeted by the regulars, purchased a cookie and biscuit and gravy from our Amish friends, and obtained a yellow and a blue animal balloon form Bonkers the Clown. We sat in the shade and Daddy fed the two of you your biscuit and gravy breakfast. Afterwards, we “strolled” (Daddy actually “strolled” and the two of you “carriage”J) around downtown for an extended walk. Bodhi, you fell asleep, so we headed home and settled in for an afternoon nap.

Late afternoon, we all spent time playing outside in our back yard, and by dinner time Daddy offered a McDonald’s play area dinnerJ. We enjoyed our happy meals, then literally the two of you spent two hours playing in the inside play area---it is so fascinating watching the two of you, you are such a young loner, Jude Liam, occasionally playing with your sister, but otherwise keeping mostly to yourself; and you, Emilia Bodhi, are such a social, outgoing young lady, introducing yourself to each and every child you meet and asking each if s/he wants to play with youJ. You both are doll-babies, and Daddy literally is so joy-filled in recognizing our blessings!

Daddy contacted Mommy and learned she was approximately thirty minutes from home, so she agreed to meet us at McDonald’s. Daddy wishes he would have thought to bring the Nikon and would have been able to capture the look on the faces of each of you when Mommy showed up! Mommy enjoyed a dinner Daddy purchased for her, then we all enjoyed an ice cream dessert—we concluded a nearly totally Daddy Saturday with smiles on our faces outlined in ice creamJ.  Mommy allowed you two to stay and play while Daddy headed home. 

When we made our way home, you three (Bodhi, Buddha, and Big DaddyJ) decided you hadn’t had enough so you decided on a slumber party in our study. It was a special day for Daddy, and Daddy hopes there will be a memory recorded in the hearts and minds of each of you about how special such days as these are!!!

Love, love, love. “Night, night.”

PS Mommy enjoyed an evening with great friends; Laura Stiner, Dianna Rudd, and Samara Sears at Dianna's home this evening after you two retired to bed with Daddy :)
