Reflections on Father's Day

Sunday was my very first Father's Day as a Father. It started off with a little scavenger hunt arranged by the boy (with some help from his Mom ;-). Along with three greeting cards came the audiobook editions of Tim Russert's "Big Russ and Me" and "Wisdom of Our Fathers." These will accompany us on our next road trip for sure.

Father's day part two comes this Sunday, so more to follow!!!!

Growing and Learning

Theodore is now almost 10lbs, and his 24" length makes him fill out the crib nicely. When we first came home, he looked lost in there; a little guy in a giant crib with a toy or two. I am so amazed at the process that is happening here with him and with his parents, who are getting the hang of being mommy and daddy.

I feel like I'm not rolling enough video, taking enough pictures or writing enough down (as you can tell by my spotty blogging record). I want to be sure to leave a concise record of Theo's childhood, so he can better see what things were like when he was too young to remember.

He's a well traveled little guy! Theo and Julia have accompanied me to Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC on business, and has visited family and friends in southern New Jersey. Theo likes the car, and sleeps well while we drive him around.
