a surprise for Kim

[babycatcher33]

On a whim, Jack suggested that we go visit Kim, so with some "casual" probing questions I figured out her work and class schedule for this weekend and we hit the road.

I love that you were able to surprise her! I am sure your surprise trip made her feel special and loved!

[babycatcher33]

I hope so - she IS very special and loved :-)

Very sweet surpise visit! I love that you were able to do that and that it was Jack's idea. Such a sweet dad!

[babycatcher33]

Yeah, he misses her. I think it's hard for dads to see their little girls grow up and he certainly didn't understand her teenaged-girl drama and attitude the past few years, but he loves her to bits and was SO happy to see her.

You are an awesome mom. That is all.

Oh, and that pool is gorgeous.

The pool really was gorgeous - we'll stay there again when we visit Kim.

And, thank you :-) It's nice to see the fruits of my mommy-labour, to know that I helped raise such a wonderful young woman!

What a fun surprise for her!! I have childhood memories of being bored in restaurants but loving the Shirley Temple treat too! That is odd/interesting that they brought a laptop movie over for the girls...

Truthfully, I was quite surprised and annoyed that they didn't have crayons, just a DVD player. I mean, really....

But, they were really starting to unravel after a long and exciting day and we needed to eat! They would watch a few minutes, squirm and pester each other, watch another minute or so, remind us they were D.O.N.E. with being in a restaurant, watch a few more minutes - I didn't even have a PEN in my purse to let them draw with!

This is just so sweet. Glad you were able to have such a good visit.

It was really good, but short. Hopefully just enough to keep her going until she can come home at christmas!
