Young Man: Birthdays

Yesterday was my birthday. I have the best wife and daughter ever. They got me awesome gifts.

As such:

From the wife: a whole plate of sweet and spicy bacon (that's cayenne pepper mixed with brown sugar and applied liberally to baking bacon - so awesome), and the opportunity to walk around my favorite bookshop, McClure's, for almost an hour (I got Tinkers and Gilead - enjoying Tinkers so far). Since I had to work last night she's making me cake (with coffee in the cake and icing !) tomorrow. Awesome.

From the daughter: She started saying "Dada" yesterday. Best birthday present ever.

I hope you day was as blessed as mine. Enjoy the week.

There's nothing like the first time your oldest child says "Dada." I still remember the first time my daughter said it.

There's nothing like their sheer glee when you come home and they shout "Daddy!" and rush to give you hugs and kisses.

Enjoy!
