We have finally started this thing we have been talking about for nearly two years. "Date night"
Date Night (Deyt Nayht) - noun.
1. An event that is on the planner, (aka. Calendar by the toilet)
2. 1 on 1 time with one of the children, (the "big kids")
3. yes mom and dad get a night out also.
Well, tonight was time for Elizabeth and daddy to get away. We get in the car and I ask Elizabeth if she would like to go swing or go see animals at the pet store. To the park we go. After doing the monkey bars about 10 times, we run back and forth between 3 swing sets. Total distance, about 1 mile.
Then for about the next 3o minutes or so, we walk around holding hands, jumping, and being silly.
Now off to get ice cream. Daddy wait! I forgot mommy's flowers. So off we go again.
Whew that was a close one. We almost forgot. While driving Elizabeth says, "Daddy, when you hug and kiss me, it makes my heart about burst." So picture me, driving down the road, tear filled eyes, and trying to stay between the 'blurry' lines. So we eat ice cream while sitting on the back of the car and enjoying our time together. Soon it is time to go home, but for now let's enjoy the priceless memories we are given.
* 2 hours
* $5.10 - 2 Cookout shakes (one was to bring home to mommy, Elizabeth had vanilla ice cream with M&M, Reese's cup, and Oreo mixed in, SUGAR ANYONE!!!)
* a wonderful wife to stay home with the other kids
Date night with my daughter
PRICELESS
i found it absolutely amazing that your four year old can express emotions like, "when you hug and kiss me, it make my heart about to explode"!!! that's incredible. job well done.
ReplyDelete*Daddies who date their daughters...
ReplyDeletePRICELESS!!!
Thanks for sharing, Luke! You are making lasting love impressions on your precious daughter's heart. She will forever remember the act of LOVE that she needs to have from her husband some day!
There are very few of your kind left out there... sadly so.
Good to "know" you!
LOVE IT! i told my husband about the dates you guys do and we want to do it too! it is so important i think especially for little girls to feel that love from her daddy. thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteYou're awesome- make sure you tell the boys on Sunday. They can add it to the things that they need to remember to do.
ReplyDelete1. Don't eat lunch alone with a female co-worker.
2. Making your daughter feel like a million bucks so she will never settle for less than God's very best. Emily signed in as Jman B!
Aww.... Marvin!
ReplyDeleteYou're tender. That how come I like you.
VERY impressive, Luke. You are an awesome daddy. The kids are so lucky to have you!
ReplyDeleteTHAT is super sweet!
ReplyDeleteI love the bond between a daddy (a good one) and his daughters.
I love watching Chris with the girls. When they were younger they used to always say they couldn't wait to grow up so they could marry him. I would always laugh and tell them that they couldn't marry him cause he was mine!
Now that they are older, they don't say as sweet of comments, but i know they love their "papa" with all their heart.
Super PRICELESS!
Very sweet, Luke! Now I'm craving a Cookout shake...
ReplyDeleteYou are a good dad bro.... You're a good example of what one should be!!
ReplyDeleteseriously. I teared up at this. Can you just adopt me? You're such an amazing Daddy Luke Beaver. You're kids are lucky... and I am jealous. Love you!!
