Christmas

Sorry Annabelle, its your first Christmas, thankfully you have no wants yet. I hope when you are old enough I can provide for you and you never know anything but pride for your father.

Sorry. Lamest post ever. 10 mo old daughter and stay at home dad letting really good beers influence better judgement

I hope moms home tonight

Reminds me of those funny foster parent PSA spots on radio and TV from The Ad Council, in partnership with the Children's Bureau and AdoptUsKids.
The "best party ever, mom" one or others.
The message in all the spots is "you don't have to be perfect to be a perfect parent". While the spots are about being a foster parent, I think the message applies to how important all parents are to their kids ... perfect or not.

Here's a few of the video spots ... in the little dropdown box at the bottom of the video player check out the one titled "Pink Uniform" too.
