Father's Day
Second father's day has come and gone. I guess its appropriate that at the second one I now have a second kid. I should probably stop that ratio before things get out of hand. My 10th father's day might get a little overwhelming.

Jack is now calling me dada, and although I'm fairly sure neither him nor I understand the full meaning of that yet, its thought provoking to hear. I read something today that pretty much sums up my feelings in a far more elegant manner than I could express myself:
Of all the names we have for God, the one we use most frequently is "Father". I imagine that says something about how our species sees God--as a bringer of life, protector, provider and friend. But I worry it might also say something about how we see fathers. And I am not certain I am in favor of setting the bar that high. - Matthew D. LaPlante
Regardless of how high the bar is, I'm pretty excited just to have the opportunity and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love my kids. Happy father's day? Yes. Happy is a good word.
