daddy part 2

so i’ve been waiting to write this post because i’m still trying to get my mind around this single truth: i’ll be parenting 2 kids in 2010. cj’s pregnant and that’s pretty exciting for us.

am i freaked out? are you kidding me? yes.
am i ready? no.

truth of the matter is i’m just praying that i can hold on to dear life as i try to raise our kids. that by god’s grace our kids turn out sane even when they have parents who have no clue what they’re doing. i’m also thanking god for the next stages of our lives. i mean lillian is so much fun. she’s brought meaning to our lives in a way that we simply can’t explain. it’s this intuitive sense of gratitude in me that also tells me having 2 kids is something we’re suppose to be doing right now so we should enjoy it because it’ll be gone before we know it. while i may not know much about parenting what i do know is that i won’t waste any time trying to figure out how to be a good dad to my kids because they won’t be kids for very long.

we get one shot at it…
better give everything i can to doing it right.
