“Hello, Papa!”

We had plenty of great reactions when we told our family we were having a baby. One of the most genuine was from my dad. He was just thrilled when he found out.

It Won’t Be Long

Tunes from Toons

I spent a lot of time in the car with my sons this past weekend. My oldest son asked me if I remembered some of the shows he used to watch as a kid.
