Time With Dad
Even though we get to spend one-on-one time with Jules every Thursday night while Sydney stays at my parents' house, we don't often get time to just hang out with Syd. Which is a shame, because she is really just such a fabulous kid. She's funny, she's artistic, she's smart...traits that I don't always appreciate as we go through our regular daily routine.
When I made preparations for this weekend, Jason asked if Jules could stay with his parents and if he could have Sydney all weekend. Just the two of them. Hanging out. Playing outside. Going to the beach. Isn't he a brilliant Dad? Yes. Yes, he is.
Honestly, I am a little envious that he's the one who gets to spend all the time with her instead of me, but the envy is softened by the fact that my heart is filled to the brim with joy at knowing they're having a great weekend together. Plus, I'm hanging out here, in Pasadena, with my sister. I can't complain about that.

That is wonderful. It is important to spend time alone with each child,although difficult to do so until they get older. (in our case anyway)

I love the Daddy and daughter times. Jason is a smart guy, he and Sydney will have a blast together. Those are the moments that she'll never forget-nor will he.

What a great picture. That will sure be one for the wedding slide show ;) I bet they are having a blast, and such great weather for them to boot!!!
