Today was an outstanding day!

Lacy has been out of school this week for fall break. And since Katie took the day off work on Tuesday to keep her it was my turn today to keep her. I'm so glad that I did. We had a great time together today. We went to a couple of parks today and walked Baxter and played on the playground and really had a good time. I don't think there was a tear the whole day, nothing but huge laughs and at one point Lacy actually looked up at missed and said "daddy kiss me", which was just adorable and melted my heart.

We also sang a lot today. Katie's parents have taught her a new song about a bumblebee which she loves, and she has a long list of other ones that she likes and sings all of the time. Some of which are the following:

• ABC Song
• Old MacDonald
• Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
• Peanut Sat on the Railroad Track
• The Itsy Bitsy Spider
• And several other songs from her Kindermusik class that I've forgotten right now.

These days Lacy isn't a baby really anymore. She talks to us and understands pretty much everything. She's super observant and wants to know what everything is. She'll grab our hands and take off telling us to follow her or to come on. I know it's so cliche to say this, but it really is true, you just can't imagine life without her and don't know how you made it before she came along.

This day began with me getting her out of bed and her being in a great mood this morning and ended with her falling asleep in my arms on the couch right after she was giving me kisses and holding my hands smiling and laughing. In between we hugged each other, went on walks, played and told each other how much we loved the other one "I love you much daddy", and got to hang out with Katie in the afternoon and play after she got off work and before she went to a wedding shower. It was a perfect day!
