Cali's 3rd Birthday Party

We had some friends over, the ones that could make it. It was really nice for Cali. She had all the people that she could always have fun with around her. I would like to openly thank Papa and Nana - without you, many things could not have been possible. My wife for making my daughter smile. I actually saw Cali light up...I hope that does not fade.

Cali's last day as a 2yr Old

This is Cali's last official day as a two year old. Jen and I are finding it very difficult. Not in a bad way just in a real sad way. It is like a realization that things will eventually fade (the snuggles and the pick ups and the want and need to hang out with Mom & Dad). It is truly one of the most bizarre rides I have ever been on. Being a father is something I cherish everyday. It is my most important purpose in this life, besides my role as a husband that I take very seriously as well. Cali to me has grown exponentially in the last year. Light years from what I ever could have imagined possible and on her last day of her 2nd year, I will look in on her and kiss her forehead and wish her a 100 more just as nice and hope I am around for 99 of them. Happy Birthday Munx. I love you.


These are the latest pictures of Cali. This is her in the raw. She is the spark of light in our lives and I hope these pictures reflect what a tru joy it is to have her as our daughter. Jen and I are the most proud parents on earth.

Father's Day Weekend

Cali and I were able to have a fantastic fathers day. She made me some of the most beautiful crafts. She gave me a picture of her hand print surrounded by puzzle pieces as well as a wonderful card and bookmark. I also got a cool pair of dad #1 boxers and a cool top that I am wearing today. We had a fathers day brunch with Nana and Papa at the Holiday Inn and then went to the Sound of Music festival in Burlington where Cali and I went on the Big slide and the Merry-Go-Round and she went on the swings and the dragon rollercoaster. Cali did not like the dragon rollercoaster too much. It scared her and she started to cry, so they stopped the ride and I ran to get her. If nothing else I love her so much more today then I did yesterday and I did not think I could lover her anymore then I did then.

Our Mornings

Cali is at her best in the morning. It is like she wakens to electrify a new day. She is 99% pleasant and will try her hardest to let you know that no matter how rushed or chaotic the mornings can be, she is always laughing and excited to know what is happening on that day. Ex. "What do we do on a Tuesday?". She is getting very good at putting her own clothes on as well.

Sometimes I can not believe that she is who she is. A very well developed, beautifully articulate little munx.
