Parker is 8!

My oldest son, Parker, turns 8 years old today. I am amazed how quickly the time has flown by. As someone mentioned to me last week, he's now "halfway to driving". That's scary (though he does have some impressive MarioKart skills).

When my brother and his family were in for Christmas, Parker would quiz Mike with all sorts of sports facts that he knew. All-time records. Team win-loss records. Who won a championship in a certain year. Facts about specific athletes. In the middle of one of these conversations, Mike, amazed, turned to me and said, "This is a dream come true for you isn't it?" I couldn't help but smile.

Last week, on Valentines' Day, in a card he'd made for me, Parker wrote: "Daddy, I love it that you and I like the same things". He has no idea.

Happy Birthday Parker! Daddy loves you!
