…is the theme in our household. I am proud to say our daughter has inherited my “gift for gab”. She’s at that age where we can make full conversations with her. We talk about her day, cartoons and most of all, how much I love her. My mom used to say to me, “have I told you today?” I’ve carried on the tradition. Everyday I make sure to ask, “have I told you today?” Emily usually responds with “have I told you today Daddy” or sometimes I get lucky and she says “I love you.” I need to remember these moments because in about 12 years she’ll probably tell me how much she hates me.

As football season begins, I can’t wait to introduce Ethan and Emily to a football game. I know I’ll have to be the one to do it because if I leave it up to Jen, these kids will NEVER see a football game for the remainder of time.
