Fabulous Friday

I am so excited for this evening to get here. My niece who lives in DC is coming for a weekend visit. It has been almost a year since I was able to visit her in DC.

Hopefully it cools down some so we can show her some of the area. Like down town with it's great old and new buildings, fountains and the Japanese Gardens.

Submission for both Sky watch Friday and Weekend Reflection

If not maybe we can head out to the beach tomorrow and cool down.

But whatever we do, I know it is going to be great spending time with her again. It will be even more special seeing as it has been around ten years since my daughters and niece have been together. I can assure you what ever we decide to do we will be making lots of terrific memories, and capturing them on our cameras.

Linking up with:

Weekend Reflections

and

First Father Daughter Dance

There are so many special days in the life of a child. Some of them come and go without us adults thinking to much of them. Of course we take note of the biggies and capture them with photographs but what about the littler ones?

Friday was just such a day for my granddaughter Sissy. At her school they were having their annual Father Daughter Dance, and this year her daddy was home to attend. Last year he was deployed at the time of the dance. Her mom and dad let her pick out what she would wear and what he would wear.
As they were walking out the door I asked "What about pictures?" and sure enough they hadn't thought to take a picture, so grabbing my camera I snapped this photo.

As I turned around to head back in the house I saw Bubba. He was all sorts of upset that he wasn't going with Daddy and Sissy. Only the promise of him having a special DATE with daddy the next day calmed him down. What often is little to us are major events to little ones.
