Today, We Had A Pajama Day

While Rick's been away Hope and I have allergy colds. At least I think her is an allergy. She's coughing, sneezing and has a runny nose. No fever but lots of congestion. One reason I don't think its her teeth is because she's letting me feel around in her mouth and normally while she's teething she presses those lips together firmly.
I thought you might be able to see her shiny upper lip in these pictures as I can't keep her nose from running. Can you believe she lets me wipe it? She sits real still til I'm done...such a good girl.
Until its bedtime and she's not feeling well, woo wee she's been a tough cookie to lie down and gets mad that I put her in bed. I mean mad and of course I don't like to lay her down mad so I rock her until she's asleep.
I have a girlfriend that has a daughter Hope's age and she lost her husband this past January. I sure have thought about her alot this week and its prompted my heart to pray for her. She's been single parenting for the last six months. I pray an added blessing on FJ for being a special mommy to baby MJ.

Daddy's On A Bear Hunt

Guess who's been calling and looking out the window all week for her daddy? Hope is crazy about Rick and I'm so glad of it. She's been calling him on her phone and looking out the window and calling "Da Da". She'll hold her phone up to her ear and speak those words only she can understand, it's darling.
DaDa is on a Bear Hunt that he won to Canada, I'm praying he sticks the Monster Bear and is safe while doing so.
Hope often makes me reflect and today as she was calling for Rick I sensed her desire to be loved on and held by him. I could tell she missed him playing with her and being silly. Nonetheless, it reminded me to call out to my Heavenly Father as I have a desire to be loved on by Him and held close these days.
