Walkie Talkies

(We were playing with the walkie talkies this morning.)
"DADDY! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!"
"Yep."
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"I'm watching tv in the living room."
"HUH?!"
"Watching tv."
"YOU NEED TO TALK LOUDER!"
"No I don't."
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
"Yes you can 'cause you're sitting next to me on the couch. I told you to go in the other room."
"Daddy....!"

Reflecting and Expecting

The start of a new year has always been a time of reflection for me. Seeing how far we've come and what we can look forward to, is a perfect way of pin pointing where we are in life.  With Olivia, the first four years have flown by. There are still so many milestones to reach, but even now I feel like time is running out on her childhood. Her mother and I always said that we wanted our daughter to have a great childhood. One that she will look back on with fond memories. For the most part, I think we're doing a good job. And it's just as fun for me as it is for her. Seeing Olivia happy and smiling with every new experience is like a natural high for me. And I'm always looking for my next fix.
