7am: Fresh. Hopeful. Focused.

Ridiculousness.

Agree whole-heartedly with this blogger… I mean, there are times when we all try to make the most of any situation with our kids, but not at their expense. Seems to me that this man’s son is more mature than the dad behind the camera.

Today I have a friend who is going skiing with his girlfriend and friends, a friend whose husband is being deployed to the Middle East for an indefinite amount of time, and a son who turns 1.
And when I think about what some people are missing by not having kids, or what it must be like to have your husband and kids’ father sent off, not knowing when he’ll return, I can’t help but look at this picture and smile. I am truly lucky.
Happy birthday buddy.
Love,Dad

Tried these for dinner last night and I think they were better than some of the crab cakes I’ve had recently. Totally recommend them.
