In the great whirlwind that is life, I’ve not written as
much as I’d like. This is an attempt of
sorts to catch up.
We are waiting on the ledge of new beginnings; my wife is
due on the 28th with our next miracle. Given that our youngest son was two weeks
early, we’ve been anticipating that our baby girl would also come early, but
such is not the case. The anticipation
has me feeling like a beginner again, which is a welcome feeling. I know for me that when I get lulled into a
sense that I’ve got answers, I know I am off track. I am at my best when I recognize that I am a
beginner, learning, not solving anything, just learning and open to the
experience. I have a much clearer sense
of feeling like a beginner, which is right where I want to be, but also
terrifying. We stand on the edge of
dynamic and beautiful change….
Soon she will be here and our ever growing family will be
complete.
Our family dynamic is so full of the type of energy that
only three young children can bring.
Each day a new everything, new horizons, new challenges. It really is an amazing energy to behold.
Abram is really coming into his own, he is a beast. A beast of the most beautiful sorts, he
squeezes every bit from each moment.
Always going, always keeping up with his older sister and brother, it is
unbelievable. At the same time he
reminds us that he is still a little boy, clinging dearly to his mom at any
moment he can. His love and passion for
doing is remarkable. It will be
fascinating to see him as a big brother; at least we know his little sister
will be tough. He has a way of hitting
when he means to hug…
Vivian is also transforming before our very eyes. She is every bit a little woman. Her emotional intelligence is off the
charts. Her ability to recognize
emotions of others as well as her own is something I learn from daily. She is sweet, warm, loving, and also
developing a beautiful sense of humor as well as a willingness to push
boundaries. We are really blessed to
have a wonderful angel for a daughter.
Oscar has begun kindergarten and all of the new transformation
that comes with growing more and more.
Every day he seems to learn something new, it is really beautiful to
see. He has a laser focus on Beyblades
right now, which is intense to say the least.
My wife, I really don’t know how she does it all…. She is 9 months pregnant and remains an
unstoppable force, the anchor and foundation of my life and our family. To say that she is remarkable doesn’t do
justice to her immense strength and determination. I am in awe of how graceful she is while
doing it all. I am fortunate enough to
have my best friend as my life partner.
I couldn’t be luckier. I can’t
wait to see her with a newborn again; there is really nothing more beautiful.
