Wow, at any moment I am going to be a pappaw. Anne, my oldest child, is still my baby, is having her very first baby. Individuals would say, "it goes quick, make the most of it." I would kind of nod and go on with life not paying much attention to what they said.
So Hey DAD! Stop and hear me! It goes quick ,so make the most of your parenting and your relationship with your wife.
I am so proud of Anne and have no doubts in her ability to be a great mom. I am so proud of her intenionality in life, her confidence and courage, her willingness to keep gettting better, and the list goes on. I am proud of Matt, her husband, my son-in law. He is going to be an amazing dad because he is an amazing man.
Today, my baby is having her first baby...what an amazing day!

i love my kids
Today, I awoke thinking how much I love my kids and their spouses. I am remembering today when they were younger. I have always believed I have had as much responsibility in caring for my kids as Jill. From the beginning I would change their diapers, feed them, bathe them, would get up with them in the middle of the night when they awoke for feedings. Yes, I would even do this when Jill nursed. I would awake, change their diapers and bring the babies to Jill to nurse. I would then take them back to their beds when they were finished.
I have stayed engaged in caring for my my kids throughout their growing up years. How about you dads? How involved are you caring for your babies?Let's talk about it!
