Daddy's Girl

She really is her Daddy's girl. For a while now I've been wanting to do a layout about the special relationship they share, but have been putting it off because I knew the journaling would be time-consuming. Well, after having lunch with a friend this weekend--and buying a new digital kit :), I became inspired. I am truly so grateful that Ashley has an amazing relationship with Carlito. I am so happy for both of them.

And here is the layout:
If you can't see it (thanks, Teena, for the "heads up"), you can click here and you should be able to see it.



Journaling reads: This is one of my favorite photos because it so clearly epitomizes the fundamental nature of your relationship. The depth of your love for each other is so evident in both pairs of eyes--you are so comfortable with each other.

What a priceless treasure God has given you, Ashley, and the best part is that you get to take this relationship completely for granted. You just get to soak up all your Daddy’s love and bask in it. You know on a very deep level that your Daddy loves you with all his heart. You know he will be there for you through thick and thin. He is your soft place to fall, your security blanket, and when he holds you in his arms, all is right in your world. And that is as it should be.

What precious memories are being made in this season of your life, the significance of which totally escapes you now, but when you look back on these years and remember your Daddy cuddling with you at bedtime and chatting softly with you, bringing you Jack in the Box at lunchtime at school, or whatever else he does that touches your heart, you will understand why I say that your relationship with him is a priceless treasure.

Enjoy it. Soak it up. It’s yours for the taking. How truly blessed you are.

Missing You

We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Just another day ...

Today was a full day. The workers put in our patio door ... sooooooooo excited to have this door!!! The pictures look much less than impressive b/c I didn't take time to play around with them in Photoshop (CSI: Miami is on so I'm glued to the T.V, plus I have a huge load of laundry to fold still). I'm so thrilled to have this door that, good pic or not, I have to share. Like I said, we've never done anything like this before, so every little thing excites me beyond belief :-D They worked on it all day, having to break out a rather large section of the wall, take out a window and door, and move our electrical outlet and porch light. And as you can tell, they have to finish tomorrow. This is the view from the inside: This is the view from the outside: It was strange to have them in my house. But apparently, in deference to my "feminine ears," they decided to refrain from using their Spanish cuss words. That was nice :) Plus our washer is on the blink (has bee...
