Daddy’s girls

It started almost 38 years ago…

Though I don’t remember too much about those days, I was the one and only back then, and I was Daddy’s girl. 

Now, I get to enjoy the new perspective, of watching my girls be Daddy’s girls…

And both perspectives are pretty good ones, I say.

Thank you, Dad, for teaching us right from wrong and how to enjoy a great ball game and a fun car.

And thanks, M, for adoring our little poonchins, teaching them right from wrong, how to appreciate Bears football, and letting them climb (with love) all over their daddy pop.

And let me just add… both these pictures above are of little girls heading to church with their daddies. It’s no accident that the legacy continues. It takes a firm decision and determination to do what’s right.  And I don’t take that for granted.

M asked for Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters by Meg Meeker, MD for Father’s Day. And he received it. With much appreciation that he takes his job seriously enough to want to do it the best he can.  And yes, I sneaked a peek at it before I let KiKi wrap it up… and it’s good. Get it and give it, or get it and read it, depending on your position in the parental pairing. Whether your daughters are 6 months old or 25 years old. Great info for all, and it’s never “too late.”

(Bringing Up Girls by James Dobson is also another good one. I have it in audio book form. And I feel sure it’s one I’ll listen through just about yearly. I recommend it for moms AND dads.)

Daddies and daughters…a special thing. The relationship that can make or break a girl.

  5. What a great post - not sure what is more surprising, that Kinlee looks soooo much like you or that your dad has hair!! Ha!

  6. You are right, Jessie. Your dad could tell you about those days, even furnish pictures. Once, we were young...

Oh happy day, Less question mark!

As a follow up to yesterday's post, I got word today that we will NOT be assigned to the new guy, but we will have an experienced coordinator after all. I feel SO much better. I also learned some other info today that made me think I still have some kinks to work out, so I'll be taking care of that this next week. I'll be SO glad when this transition/IEP stuff is behind us. I want to do the very best I can, but there's part of me who wants to just hide and let it all happen without me.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Was there a line??

I assume that you went to vote, either today or earlier if possible. I expect that of you, know that straight up. How long did you wait in line?? And throw in the state you voted in, just for fun. I'm really curious if all areas have a big wait or if it's just the more congested ones. I voted Friday absentee/in person, and we waited about 15 mins or so. It moved VERY fast for a big line. There's just one place in our very populated county to do the absentee/in person voting, and it wasn't bad at all for what I thought it might be. If you haven't, GO VOTE people... again, please just know what you're voting for, either way. You may just have to live with your choice. God Bless America!!
