It Just Keeps Getting Better

I've posted before, but as the saying goes, fatherhood just gets better and better. Recently I was lucky enough to enjoy another wonderful (my third) Father's Day weekend with my wonderful son Liam.

He's going to turn three later this summer, but the joys continue to amaze me with each day. It is so amazing to see such a young baby grow so quickly. He's not a baby anymore, though he begs to differ, but actually a little boy.  

Coming home from a tough day or waking in the early morning hours thanks to the tapping of the gate in front of Liam's door, what matters in life is always put into perspective. His smile is contagious, and his little giggle and sense of humor makes life seem so simple. 


There's no question he's going to be an athlete; he has already run the Blackstone Boulevard in Providence (mile and a half) without stopping once.  But he's also going to be a very smart.  In only such a short time ("I'm two and a half"), he has picked up so many things and can identify and recognize anything we throw at him.  

But back to Father's Day.  It wasn't a time to just sit back and read my paper over a cup (or two) of my favorite coffee, but rather, it was a time to just soak in what a beautiful addition to our family that Liam brings. 

I couldn't be more prouder.
