Come On Ride That Train

Teri and I from the very earliest of our relationship have talked about how we want to take a time or two a month and have one on one time with our kids. We think that Daddy taking James on a guy’s trip, or Mommy spending the evening with him at MacDonald’s Play Land are very worthy pursuits. We feel the same about Liv and any other children that we may have, but James is just getting to the stage where he can appreciate it. Some may call it “dating” their kids, and when our children are older we will want to take them out and show them how interacting with the opposite sex is supposed to look like, but right now it is jut fun time for the sake of undivided attention with Mommy and Daddy.
Today, James and I broke away from church a little early (oops), and went to the Nashville Model Train Show. He is very enamored with trains and specifically Thomas the Train. He loved it, and I had a hard time in the end pulling him away from the convention center. The only thing that could get his mind off of leaving the show was a statue of Billy Graham at the Lifeway building in downtown Nashville that he wanted to high-five!

Oh yeah, James quote of the day (and also a phrase he is saying a lot right now about various things he sees…
“Daddy, what’s that?”
“That’s a train track.”
“Daddy, I want to eat that train track!”
