Hope... loves her Dad...

Hope came in to see me while I was working in the office. As she came over to me she was scattering Austin Cheddar Cheese crackers across the floor. Instead of scolding her for dribbling crackers, I smiled and asked her.. "Can I have one". She quickly responded, "No daddy, you have to get your own". I just picked her up, gave her a big hug, then let her down and she was on her way.

A few moments later, she came back into my office with a whole set of the crackers, 6 to be exact. I smiled again and gave her a big giant hug.

looking over you

journal entry 06-11-2008

Wow, that was a loud thunderstorm... what time is it? 3am, oh good... I get about 3 more hours of sleep.

Wait, before I go back to sleep, I need to check on the kids.

Simeon, upstairs sleeping sound in the game room because its too hot in his room he says.. CHECK. Simeon, you are amazing. I think you'll be an engineer.
Liesel and Hope.. Liesel is sleeping sound and Hope is in my bed kicking me! When did she crawl in bed.. CHECK, CHECK. Liesel, you are so mature and Hope I love giving you kisses!
Jude.. Phooey, he crawled in my bed too! No wonder I can't get any sleep. Jude, you are amazing too! A great communicator. Maybe you'll be President some day!

Ava.. My newest daughter. Wow, I love you so much! How could I love you so much. How did God put such a powerful love for you inside of me. That was so neat when you held your little arms out to come to daddy today! I really do think you loves me. You look cold, I'd better put a blanket on you and make sure your vitals are good! Oops, you're moving around, into a contorted position! How do you sleep like that?

Thank you Jesus for my wife and children. I love them so much.

Ok, back to sleep. Its just a gentle rain now and an occasional rolling thunder.

store for a snack.

Someone is in my bed!

Oh well. She can have some special treatment. She can sleep in Pa Pa's
bed.
