So this sweet 18 month old doesn't know just how blessed she is yet. That is... to have the daddy she does. He loves her and her sister so much. He wants them to know that deeply and fully. He wants them to understand the love of their Heavenly Father from the way he loves them here on earth. And boy does he do an incredible job. The sacrifices are plentiful for them on a daily basis and as his wife I can say that things for himself come AFTER things for them.
And so the daddy/daughter dates have begun. The girls first date was to the Birmingham Zoo together, but now we want to be diligent and intentional with them having one-on-one time with just daddy to themselves. Good time for them and good time for daddy to love on just one baby! And this sweet little toddler got to go camping with her daddy! Yep, an overnight with her favorite person. Complete with hotdogs, a fire, movies, books, and love and kisses! We'll keep good details and pictures so one day she can look back and maybe, just maybe recall some of these super fun memories!
Arriving to their campsite at Tannehill on Friday night (Oct.5, 2012)...beginning the setup process! And in the dark no less...brave daddy!
The tent is up, dinner is cooking, and Maddie Grace is exploring this whole 'tent' thing!
Maddie Grace was a little unsure about going to sleep. Daddy said she was tired, but didn't understand that this was where she would sleep. =) But, believe or not, she fell asleep and slept soundly from 10:45 (yes, way past her bedtime!) until 7am! Great job Maddie Grace!
A beautiful, fall Saturday morning. Maddie Grace enjoying the cool, crisp weather her sippy cup of milk while daddy breaks down the tent & loads everything up!
Loving her alone time with daddy, exploring the woods, and not having to eat breakfast in her highchair :)
A leisurely stroll around the campgrounds, a breakfast snack in the rocking chair, and ALL SMILES from the memories she just made with her incredible daddy!!
Daddy daughter camping date complete and successful. Next up is Makenzie's 2nd date!
Thanks daddy for taking me camping. I hope you never forget my sweet smile, playful ways, and adorable disposition I possess at this age! I love you to the moon and back!
Love, Maddie Grace
LOVE this! What a fun time with daddy and one of his little girls!
