Ever since we’ve had kids I’ve become a wuss for things my boys do and say. In other words I “almost” cry of the joy I feel when I see them accomplish and learn new things. If they only knew how much I learn from them. Being a father changes your life completely.

So, It hit me pretty hard yesterday when I saw Diego pull himself out of the pool without my help. My little guy is growing up lightning fast. I am so thankful to God for the gift of Diego!

Diego, thanks for making me laugh with your silly jokes, thanks for asking 1,000 questions per day, thanks for reminding me of what really matters in life, thanks for having that late night bowl of cereal with me, thanks for telling me I am handsome and telling momma she looks beautiful, thanks for your loud laugh and silly smile, thanks for constantly singing my songs, thanks for praying for me, thanks for keeping it real with me, thanks for being such a great big brother, thanks for driving me nuts  and thanks for being my little buddy and sushi partner…We have many more memories ahead of us to write. Happy Birthday bro! I love you so much!
