Daddy's Girl

Today is Mark's 28th birthday....and I am so happy that to help him celebrate is a little 2 yr old girl who just thinks he is the most amazing thing ever. What is it about little girls and their daddies? Take for instance, me. I work all day, rush out the door to get home to see her, and I walk through door expecting her to come running with arms open, waiting for me to scoop her up into my arms full of school stuff, and the moment she sees me, she turns around running toward none other than her daddy!
Why is it that she always wants daddy to sit by her on the couch during movie time? or "daddy do it"? or "my da-da"? or "look da-da"? or "what daddy doing"? What about me? What about the 12 hours of labor, or the 10 months I carried her, fed her, nurtured her, etc. Doesn't that count for anything? Will there ever be a day when it is all about mommy?
I decided to peruse through the archive of pictures that I have and take you down Daddy-Daughter lane.
Enjoy!






















And Mark, even though there are times that I get really jealous of your relationship with her, I am reminded of how much our heavenly father loves me as his daughter. I am also thankful that you put so much into Calloway's life and I just know that all of this bonding you are doing with her now will only carry over into a strong father-daughter relationship as she grows older. And I pray that through those teenage years that the two of you will still be able to hang out like you do now. I love watching you with her and your passion to teach her "musical" things make me laugh but I feel proud at the same time.
I Love You! and I hope this year is a great one!
Happy Birthday!
