Well it finally happened, we couldn't find the little man.
Last night as I was cooking dinner my wife was playing with our son, at least I thought. Until she walked into the kitchen and asked me where our son was.
I said I thought he was with you, she said, she thought he was with me.
The search was on, main floor, clear. No sign of him.
He couldn't have gone downstairs as the gate is closed.
He didn't go outside.
He must be upstairs, but at first glance the upstairs is all clear.
Upon further investigation, he is hiding by the bed! Ah ha!
He did a great job hiding and being very secretive and quite.
But the joke was on us as for a second there my heart skipped a beat.

Day 2 - Here We Go Again
Ah yes I am back at it, and today is the tie maker, tomorrow the tie breaker.
With only 8 1/2 weeks until our next little one is due to join us, the pressure seems to be mounting. When I look at what will be her room I know just how much has to be done in order for us to be ready.
This time it is so much different, it seems that before our son was born I had all the time I needed to get things done, so much so that we painted his room twice. Now it is just the opposite, any free time we have now is recuperation time.
I never feel like getting the things that must be done, done. But all of this must change. I am proud though that over this past weekend we did go get our bassinet. So that is one of the many things on our list crossed off.
The journey only gets better, and time seems to only move faster. In the midst of all of these things my son changes daily. He is so amazing and his capacity to communicate and understand is such a pleasure to watch. Everytime I lay eyes on him my heart over flows with love.
More to come on that tomorrow!

That Wasn't As Good As I Hoped
Well,
2 days, what a streak. I apologize for not doing better.
But as one streak ends it is time for another to begin. So I am back after it today, looking to break my old record.
Speaking of not being as good as I hoped.
Isn't it funny how often in life we enter into something with the best intentions, give what we think is the best effort, and still somehow find a way not to achieve the results we hope for?
Why does this seem to happen.
I am not sure, but it is crazy.

Day 2 - Here We Go
Well we are off to a smashing start, day 2 has arrived and I am in the blog.
The question is what profound do I have to talk about?
Today is the day, it is all we are promised and all we have, let nothing hold you back from delivering on your hearts promise! Embrace that which is dear to you and live with abandon.

On A Mission
Ok, if you looked at the title it describes someone or something on a mission. For today at least that person is me. I am on a mission, well many missions really. But for this arena the mission at hand is to see how long I can go with blogging every day.
I haven't done a very good job blogging, so this is my quest to do better. We will see how it goes, I am after all very much human, and very prone to slipping up.
So today, February 12th, this is what I have to offer. I was reading another blog, read this line and thought it was so good that I should share it.
It is about having children and the fascination with watching them grow. I hope it strikes you like it struck me:
"I guess that’s just how it is when you create a life, you just never cease to be fascinated by this ever so common, but incredibly unique experience of watching a person develop from scratch."
Be Well,
Live Well
Laugh Often
Love Much

A Walk In The Park
This past Saturday my wife had a class she was taking and her being gone created some time for my son and I to be together. This doesn't happen very often but when it does I always relish it. This Saturday was no different. We spent the morning playing very hard in our house, then we capitalized on the great weather we were having to take our dogs to the park.
My son was a wild man, he couldn't be stopped. He was walk running everywhere he went. His joy was contagious and I couldn't get enough. It really is the small things that make our lives so wonderful.
We are in the midst of change all the time and moments are fleeting. My son reminds and teaches me to run, laugh, smile, cry, experience the spectrum. Don't be idle, and don't let the moment pass you by. A lot of wisdom in such a young boy!
