May This Be Just The Beginning.


A date with Daddy.

I'm so thankful my girls have such a great daddy.  He loves to be with them...loves to PLAY with him.  Travis loves to play and that works out great as a daddy.  Our girls adore their daddy. 

He took Ellie on their very first date yesterday during our lunch break.  She wore a dress (a big deal!) and got to go get a snow cone.  She told me they talked about "God's grace that's like a present."  About how Daddy's leaving tomorrow for Arizona.  And about giving Alyssa a party at the snow cone place (guess she saw a sign about how you can have a party there and she thought it'd be a good idea to bring Alyssa and throw her a party).

I love the thoughts of a three year old. 

She came home with a huge smile on her red-stained snow cone face and a sweet excitement in her eyes.  There's really nothing like the love a daddy can give to his little girl.  I'm so thankful my three girls will grow up knowing it.

Know there are lots more dates with Daddy in her future.

Oh joy that is so sweet! I have tears in my eyes. We used to go on daddy dates too. I still remember them & talk about them often. What a precious time!!
