Father's Day

Father's Day...Oh, what a day. My wife and daughter took me to a minor league baseball game where my daughter ran the bases against the mascot!!! What a Father's Day gift. And on top of that. Wally Backman Jr., son of former major leaguer, Wally Backman, even walked to my daughter and gave her a baseball!!! I don't know if I could have scripted it any better. Not only do I have a great daughter, but I have a great wife as well.

Let's try again

So the first comeback post lasted, well, a day:-( It is time to make sure that I am better able to write about the joys of fatherhood. It needs to be out there that being a DADDY is the BEST job in the world. My two-year-old is now three and it seems like she is growing up WAY too fast. She is so independent, and loves to read. I NEVER liked to read as a child or an adult, but for some reason, I love it now. Reading to my little princess is better than going to the College Wold Series. I never thought that I would say that. We went to our second ever Milwaukee Brewers game a couple months ago, and it was there that I realized she is so much like me. It is amazing to look at this little child, and see yourself in her, good and bad, including the nail-biting and wiping wet hands on your t-shirt. She truly is perfect.
