Thinking of them as babies and toddlers on Christmas morning. How fast those days went by. Those with little ones, hug them and hold them all you can!

My wallet cried. Teenagers have expensive taste. My youngest just wants nerf guns and Robux

My wife took my favorite picture of our dog that we lost on Labor day and have it converted into a small 5x7 painting for my office desk. I cried like a baby.

My 4 years just brought a mix of frustration and joy.

That new Xbox wasn't cheap and now my daughter (11, no pics) has upgraded her list from a Jeep to a G Wagon.

Read the Drew Brees story on espn today. Made me realize how much I'm truly blessed to have healthy children up to this point. Sometimes we take for granted the 10 minutes here and there we can sneak in with our kids busy lives. I have a 26, 20, and 16 year old. It's amazing how fast it went

Ours (twin daughters-19 {no way you'll ever see pics}) wrote us a card...I read through it a time or two before trying it out loud... Still got something in my throat for a few seconds...

Man when you know that they've taken some of their time for you...

Tough to act like the macho man that I truly am.

We're missing our youngest who is in boot camp at Parris Island to become a Marine.

Yeah, it goes fast (21, 18, & 13). I did have a flashback this morning, got my 13 a gift he didn't expect, but really dug. He hugged me 3 times during the morning.
