Latest twin activity

  • Gavyn is crawling, soldier style.
  • Elyse is standing on her own in her crib, TV, chair, or just about any object

I enjoyed my First Father's Day as a father. I was looking forward to "my day". Tiger Woods was playing his final round in the US Open. The Lakers and Celtics were playing in game 5 of the NBA finals. In short, I was looking forward to some good food, company, and downtime. I hit 2 out of 3. Peta quickly alerted me that Father's day wasn't a free pass to do nothing. That's for Mother's day! Oh well, I tried.

Peta, the twins and I headed to our friends house in San Jose to celebrate Father's Day. We had great food. We played Nintendo Wii. I even recieved some gifts from Peta and the twins, a wallet (with no money) and a belt. Both items were very much needed to replace my old, worn-out items.

As the kids grow older, I beginning to understand what it means to be a father. I thought that after the kids were born, viola -- instant Dad. Fortunately, it's a gradual process. They don't need help with homework or advice on relationships. Now, they need clean diapers and food-on-demand.
