What an amazing year it has been. God has blessed me with an wonderful wife and energetic and inquisitive child.

as we go into my sons first Christmas I am filled with a sense of gratefulness for his life and wonderment at what my wife does to be the most amazing mother and wife on the planet.

I am also filled with a touch of sadness and if Christmas wishes could come true I'd wish my grandfathers were here to hold James. When I was born they could not contain their joy and I can only imagine the happiness that would be in their faces if they could have held my son. Someday, I will meet them again, and someday James will also till then I would pray that they know that they are missed on this and every holiday.
