Happiness of being a Dad

There are a number of little things that just make me so happy to be a dad. Waking up early in the morning with Sam can be tough. However, the joy I get out of having him in my lap as we sit on our comfy chair overlooking the canyon, reading his selection of children's books once we get out of bed makes it all worth while. And then every day, when I come home from work and open the door, he runs to me with squeals of joy. Sigh. I keep telling people that there is nothing I have done in my life that has made me feel so blessed as being a father and every day, even with the challenges, it is so true.

Of course, it couldn't happen at all without a great mom to fill in the in between times, which makes it easy for me. Thanks Christine. :)
