10 1/2

Well the little one is almost one and he is very mobile and still waiting for him to start walking. Funny that this time last year we were still waiting for the him to get here now we are chasing him around the house, making sure he does not get into to many trouble. Dogs want to play with him but not sure what to do run are stay to be "petted" by him.
I am away from my family for two days because of state track and this will be longest time I am I way from my son and wife, I will be here for two nights and three days son I am not looking forward of not seeing them. Funny thing is that I have become such a dad, my life revolves around my son and wife. When your single or even a newly wed being gone for a few days was ok and not a big deal but when I am away from my son and wife I am constantly worrying about their safety. I know they be ok but I guess I will be that type of dad to be a little protective of my family bus isn't that what we are suppose to do, protect our family. I was raised that way by my folks and always hated them always looking over my shoulder but now I am thankful that they did. Being in the teaching field I see what happens when you don't care or pay attention to your kids. Now I know some parents are busy making sure they can support their family but sometimes


we all have to make sure that we spend some time with that family we are supporting so they know you are doing it for them. Sleeping those roses as much as possible.

Life has been busy

I could tell you that everything has been easy but it hasn't. I am always tired since Spencer keeps getting ear infections and gets cold so sleep has been a luxury when we get it. Our life is definetly different now, but do I miss the old life ya but I would not change anything if I could.
Being a dad is so different and rewarding that it is almost scary how much you care for your son. I wonder all the time if I am doing the right things, is he going to be a big brother, will he be a good man when he gets older, what dreams will he reach and which one will disappoint him. All the thing I went through to become who I am today culminates with my son. Passing everything that I have learned or not passing things on so he can learn it for himself.
It makes you think a lot of the present and the future. We went to the Cardinal's game on mothers day, Melissa's first official one, and Spencer's first ball game. As we were sitting and he was looking at the ball park I could only imagine what it will be like in a few years when we go to the game when he can ask me questions and I can explain what is going on with the game. Granted I have to brush up on some thing but I have a few years till then. To the future dad out there and the future me always remember that this is your son and thing you do today will shape his future and who he become in life. I always have pictures of him and my wife on my phone to remind me that everything I do today will affect his future.
