Day 3,248

Growth:

Some of the moments when I’m most happy for the boys are the moments when I’m not there. Today they drove to Wisconsin Dells with their girlfriends for some fun in the sun! I’m so grateful for relationship there have, it fills my heart with joy. I love the time I get to share with them, but I’m also so thankful for the times they get together alone to keep growing and strengthening their relationship, just like when Becky does something solo with one it bothers me of them. The stronger each of our bonds are the stronger we are as a family.

Appreciation:

The dog park Dominic created for his Eagle Scout project was officially opened today! There was an awesomely well attended ceremony including the family and friends of the woman and dog the park are named for. Watching the dozen or so dogs head out for the first time in the park was wonderful, such an amazing moment!

I’m so grateful for this two plus year journey for Dominic, so many life experiences, memories and lessons for him!

Presence:

Hiking with Becky early this morning was hot, sweaty, and full of bugs… but I was spending time outdoors with her, there was nothing more I could ask for! Those moments of quiet and calm in the woods are some of the best moments of my life.

Thanks!!!
