We look forward to 4 with a passion.
Every day is a gift from God. A gift that is to be shared with the world around us, the people we love and influence, the natural surroundings that are in our charge. If we can live each moment like it is the last, what we do and say in those moments can carry their greatest meaning and certainly lead to a better understanding of what God has intended.

Two is not so terrible...
I've always heard about the "terrible 2's", and Bev and I were really amazed at how relatively smooth things were with Kylah through the age of two. But look out for the "tragic 3's". Everything, and I mean everything hinges on disaster from the moment we wake, till bed time. What used to be a fairly uneventful morning of waking up and getting dressed, brushing your teeth, washing your face, combing her hair, etc. has turned into the equivelent of hostage negotiations on what she will or will not wear. If its not the dress she would prefer, then we are in for tantrums and heart break of the deepest level. The negotiations continue into the night with challenges over TV programing, dinner options, then back to the choice of attire... which night gown is the best choice? It seems to never end. All in all, I wouldn't change it for the world. As "tragic" as things may seem from her perspective at times, it is her smile that lights up the room and warms my heart. I'm working on instilling more discipline these days, but I must admit being the one that caves. What can you expect? It's daddy's little girl!
