A Date

Ella loves to write letters to Daddy while he is away at work.  They usually end up being taped to our bedroom door for him to discover.  Sometimes they contain her narrative of our Bible verse for the day.  Other times they are just simple wishes for his day.

This was one he received last month.  Unfortunately, she inherited my gene for spelling.

He said he would love to.

She began planning what they would both wear and what restaurant they would go to.  Here were the choices for food:

Her excitement built each day.  This note was left on the kitchen table the night before the big date.  She was lucky for spell check on this one.


I snapped a photo of them, wearing the outfits Ella had chosen, just before they left. 

They ate at Skoops, a local malt shop and burger joint (that happens to have the best malts known to man), and discussed the drama of 6-year-old life - along with other important world happenings. 

I hope her future husband knows what he will have to live up to.

  2. Daddy dates are the best! I love the phonetic spelling! Curtis's C's is the only one I struggled with. :)
