Alert!: Daddy posting...

Unfortunately, I don't contribute much to this blog. I wish I was better at writing because honestly, I love that Google commercial where the dad creates an email account for his daughter and sends her emails detailing her "growing up." I think that would be awesome for the girls to have. But, I can't focus on anything for more than 10 minutes at a time.

I digress. I wanted to take a couple minutes to chalk up some thoughts because I have had 5 special daddy-daughter days with my baby girl, Lilah June. If I'm being honest, when Erin wanted to take Elise and visit her brother, sister-in-law and their new son in Boston, I was skeptical. I have not typically enjoyed spending time with little (2 and under) kids, because I don't know how to entertain them. Lilah has proven me wrong. We have had a great time together. We've danced, played at the park, read at the library and Barnes & Noble, played with bubbles and taken long walks in the beautiful early Spring.

While on one of our walks, I listened to a sermon about how the church needs to be better about focusing on and integrating young people. Although not necessarily about parenting, parts of the message challenged my selfish side. I love my children more than life itself, but I'm a pretty selfish guy when it comes to my time. The past 5 days with Lilah, have shown me that I can set aside my selfish desires, just be a dad, and have a great time. I plan to prioritize my time with the girls from here on our.

Erin comes back tonight with Elise, and we will welcome them back with open arms, but we had a pretty great time ourselves.

I just liked the funny expression
