Saturdays Are Great

The best thing daddy has done is quit working on Saturdays and devotes the whole day to the family. There are a few Saturdays he has to work, but not many. 99% of the time he gets to spend the day with his two favorite girls. In the morning mom takes her books and study materials and goes to a local Starbucks and just has some "alone" time. She is blessed to get to stay home with Puddin' but really enjoyes her Saturday mornings to refuel her spirit. Dad gets Puddin' up and fed and they usually watch "Bedbugs" and "Dooley and Friends" together, we're not sure who enjoys them most. Then when mom gets home we usually have an outing for the day. This past Saturday we went to a local park near dad's office and then to the new Wal-mart by our house.

Puddin' enjoyed the park. She got to explore and play on a huge play area just for toddlers. It was her first time to go down a slide. She enjoyed the baby slide she started out on, but had the most fun going down the big twisty slide with daddy. She kept, saying "again, again" as soon as they got to the bottom and we must have went down it about twenty times until dad started getting dizzy. Then it was off to Wal-mart, Puddin' and dad like to play daredevil in the cart and "swerve" around the corners. Puddin' and dad laugh and mom is afraid one day we are going to "swerve" right into some unexpecting lady with a full cart. Then, we came home enjoyed our lunch and dad and Puddin' take naps while mom gets some work done around the house. You can't beat those Saturdays, it sure beats the office any day.

On other notes, Puddin' turned 18 months this past week. It has been so amazing to see her grow in the past few months. She is picking up more signs from her "signing time" videos, saying more words, and even hitting when she gets mad (and then crying when daddy or mommy corrects her), we love her so much and are awed and thankful at this precious little life God added to our family.
