Today was a red-letter day for our family. Just hours ago, our firstborn - Andrew - rode a two-wheeler all by himself for the first time! It was really a nice feeling as a father and I started realizing how quickly things happen and how much is going to start flying past me if I don't slow down and focus on my kids when I get the rare opportunities to do so.
I guess what's more important is to make those opportunities less and less rare. We also spent time playing soccer in the backyard and Rachel's teaching him to read. Man - I don't know if the best years are ahead or behind, but I know that I'm really enjoying the here and now!
God bless you all today!

Yes, David, the best years are ahead and behind. Except that the here and now is best. And I pray that when he and his sibs are all grown up you would do anything to do it all over again - without a single change. That is what God has given me in you and your sibs.
