I'm a lucky man. I was thinking yesterday about my life and family and decided I was so lucky. We talk to other couples who have kids with problems.....trouble at school, marriage trouble, divorce, etc. Marilyn & I see the heartache other people have with their kids. Look at my kids. Every one of them is a great person that has made right decisions and have turned out to be really good people. I work with a gal who has a daughter that has made a lot of wrong decisions and has married a guy that is ..um... less than ideal. Look at the two "in laws" I've got. Yea, I kid that they are my least favorite son in laws, but they are also my favorite son in laws. I couldn't ask for better. I've got a wife that loves me and appreciates me and has stuck with me for 31 years and more. She's also been a good mom to my kids. The thing is, I wasn't a great dad/husband. I'm still not. I'm just me but my family accepts me anyway. Like I said, I'm a lucky man.

ditto-- I'm blessed too. I have a perfect husband and the cutest little daughter in the entire world.

Dad- I don't know know what you were talking about--you were/are a great dad. How many dad's do you know these days who take their kids camping?

We are blessed, I agree-cautiously. Life has a way of throwing you some nasty curves just when you thought everything was going well!

daddy, you must be confused.... you were a great daddy! I loved going camping and i'm excited for when we can go back to canyonlands again! and you have the silliest sense of humor that gave us a great sense of humor as well. You made sure we were all provided for and you supported us in our decisions. Thanks for being a great dad!

potty training done

By -

Kiera is 100% in "tinkling" in her potty for 5 days now (except at night). I'd say potty training is done. I do have to say though that the transition from little potty to big potty was difficult (it didn’t help that Lydia was sick either). She would tinkle a tiny bit and then ask to go again 5-10 mins later all day long! Finally I was trying to make dinner and after being interrupted twice by her asking me to go (meanwhile my sick little Lydia cries hard when I leave the room with Kiera and if I bring her with she rolls around our nasty bathroom floor). So she came up and asked again “tinkles, mommy!” So I broke down and busted out the little potty and put her in front of the TV on it. I then picked up Lydia and nursed the poor little thing to sleep. Kiera tinkled quite and bit and was quite pleased with her self and pulled out the tray beneath the potty that holds the tinkles before I could stop her (I don’t run very fast when I’m holding a sleeping baby). Of cour...
