When Mum is away…Dad is in charge!

me and my girls

It is sad that it takes a tragedy to unite families….I was forced to come home when my Pa decided to join his creator. I left the kids at home with hubby and though I was gone for just a few days, I missed my family so much. Hubby enjoyed his girls while I was away. Feeding Sophia at night, putting them to sleep, doing home works, basically he had fun bonding with the girls all on his own.

At first I was a bit troubled about Sophia feeding from a bottle because she had only tried it once when she was a newborn. But daddy successfully gave a bottle and Sophia drank all of it. So proud of my girls for being well behaved, not giving dad a hard time and of course I could not be more proud of Dad for being successful at his new found job, being a stay at home daddy!  lol

Gotta go to check out more auto accessories online. A friend had asked for help for the best rate for a fuel transfer pump meter. Checking rates online!

Red Robin

– music and lyrics by Clark Richard

she is just a baby
she’s my little girl
she looks like her mommy
sporting little curls
she’s got lots to learn
though she is sure to know
that I’ll quietly spot her
anywhere she goes

now our little lady’s out with daddy for the day
she fought the yawns but couldn’t stay awake
as I place her in the car
she’s out like a light
cause she knows I’ll get her home all right

she went from the backseat
to hands at ten and two
college came too quickly
her leaving feels too soon
Now I swore I’d be strong but
These are happy tears
Cause I get even prouder
With every passing year

now her weekends will be full of hanging with her friends
but someone needs a call before nights end
she knows I’ll toss and turn
no chance I’ll sleep tonight
til I know she’s made it home all right

if time could only give me
a moment to reflect
to smile on all that has been
to treasure what is left
though I won’t always be here
this you surely know
that I’ll quietly spot you
anywhere you go

and when we are apart remember it is not the end
you know enough to know we’ll meet again
I’ll be waiting by the gate
standing just inside
til I know you’ve made it home all right
til I know you’ve made it home all right

let’s go home

I Loved Her First

Daddy's girls.....

Some of my friends will be home for the holidays and looking for some vacation rentals by owner and I was helping them out looked for one online when I remembered this song I loved her first by the heartland.  My gift for life is seeing the smiles of my family… my husband Mark and my precious baby girls, Alyssa and Sophia. For I know they’ll always be Daddy’s girls…..

I LOVED HER FIRST

by: Heartland

Songwriters: Elliott Hubert Park  ; Jr. Aldridge

Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each other’s face
So much in love, you’re alone in this place
Like there’s nobody else in the world

I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one, she told me so
And she still means the world to me, just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl

Time changes everything, life must go on
And I’m not gonna stand in your way

But I loved her first, I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep

And I prayed that she’d find you someday
But it’s still hard to give her away
I loved her first

How could that beautiful woman with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairytales to
And tucked into bed all those nights

And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time

I loved her first, I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep

And I prayed that she’d find you someday
But it’s still hard to give her away
I loved her first

From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep

Someday you might know what I’m going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first
