A Date with My Girl
Kayla is on Spring Break this week.
And this morning we went on a special adventure.
She set the agenda.
I set some mild perimeters.
Her first choice was to “go to Hawaii to open coconuts.”
Oh how I love my biggest girl.
I love her heart.
I love that, in the bookstore, she noticed the Max and Ruby section.
And reminded me how much Ashlyn would love one.
I love that, in Build-a-Bear, she chose the weird looking, not-so-cute wolf
because a portion of the proceeds go to the World Wildlife Federation.
And named it Jazzebella. Not to be confused with Jezebella.
I love that, at CPK, she insisted on sharing the bread with me, even though I said she could have all three pieces.
I gave her 1/2 of the piece back, because I am size 122.
I love her compassion and regard for others.
It challenges me.
In such a good way.













sweet girl. with a big, giant, kind, generous heart.

I love all the love in this blog. You guys have such a great relationship. What a wonderful family
P.S. If you guys need a place to stay in hawaii, I have a place on the big island, and I would love for you guys to come.
Oh I love it! What a kind heart for other’s she has. I want to go to hawaii and open coconuts too!
um yeah– who doesnt want to open coconuts??
and could i please be friends with april with the place in hawaii who is passing out times on the big island??
how lucky to genuinely like our children… love is one thing.. but to WANT to spend time with them, hear their hearts, just hang… it’s too good to be true.
she’s adorable.

i will remember to find a coconut and open it when i am in maui this summer (celebrating 15th wedding anniversary)!
i am a size 122 too! (must be a size 120 before i go to hawaii to open coconuts).
