Lone Man #3

Some more notes hidden around the house:

Found in the medicine cabinet:

Things CJ loves about Daddy: He loves Me! (7/15)

Found in Good Night Moon

Things CJ loves about Daddy: He reads me bedtime stories and lets me sit on his lap. (8/15)

Found tucked in between the plates in the cupboard:

Things Jill loves about Jeremy: He loves to do dishes (or at least he loves a clean kitchen!). (3/15)

Lone Man #2

[update] this day should be #1 (8/16) - I just happened to write it later. I wasn't planning on counting the number of Lone Man days -- it started as just post #1, post #2 -- so I won't bother to fix it. I did add some photos below, though.

Went to the U.S. Marine Corps Sunset Parade on the grounds in front of the Marine Corps War Memorial with Chance & Jenny and Jaron and Tana.

The Commandant's Own and the Silent Drill Platoon put on incredible performances.

Very moving to hear the 21 gun salute followed by taps played by a lone bugler standing atop the massive base to the Memorial; it still gives me chills.

I tried to snap some photos with my Bb and snag a few seconds of video. Of course, Chance took lots of photos. Here's one he posted to his photo blog:

Been a busy day and a half, even being a lone man. If I have a moment I'll update with some of my shots.

Lone Man #1

Jill & CJ are out having fun with family out west. But they've hidden some notes around the house to remind me Things CJ/We love about Daddy.

Since they've left, I've found this note in the oatmeal container:

Things we love about Daddy: He knows hot to keep a secret - you can trust him with your secrets. (11/15)

I find this in my netbook:

Things CJ loves about Daddy: He lets me play with his keyboard - what a good sharer! (15/15)

And this in my suit coat:

Things CJ loves about Daddy: He calls me Goober! And it makes him smile. (4/15)

I'll have to keep my eye out for other notes! Love you both!

Yum!
