Jimmy, Laura and I have this little routine we have been going through for some time now. They are very huggable kids so before they go to bed and before I have to go to work daddy gets hugs and kisses. One day, i was hugging the both of them and became especially aware of how much this little piece of happiness is worth. They both whisper secrets to me, saying "Daddy, I love you". I looked at them and asked them if they knew what that was worth. So now, everyday when i ask them what its worth for a secret, they tell me "It's a million dollars". Jimmy has it up to a trillion dollars now. Its the truth, How much could someone pay you to take that away??? Still not enough dough.
When Catherine sees us going through our silliness in the morning, she gets jealous and I have to go to her little saucer and give her a great big hug and kiss too. They wonder why i'm late for work all the time.
Since Jimmy was a baby, we have had our special time every night before he goes to bed. It usually involved his rocking chair and two or three songs. It got that he knew most of the words to Sweet Baby James (James Taylor). Laura came along and got her 'House at Pooh courner' song included. They've graduated to getting a story every night now with minimal songs, except for Wiggles entertainment at night. Catherine still gets 'I hope you dance' song. I tried singing that song one night at Karaoke and they shut me off at the bar. Catherine is a better audience.
I actually tried to publish this post a couple of months ago but while I was looking around this site realized that I must have screwed it up.

My First Blog
It has been forever since I wanted to start keeping a weekly diary of the little monkeys and the goings on in their life. I keep thinking that I will go back and write about the little nuances that were unique to each of them. So now and again I will do just that.
Today, Jimmy is 4 years old, Laura is 3 years and Catherine is 10 months old. Jimmy is learning how to play baseball and loves his trains. Thomas the Tank Engine, of course. Laura is my feisty one, the most like dad. She has to get her way. Yesterday she was the superstar in school and got to ring the bell for clean up time. She told me this about 6:30a.m. this morning. I knew she was in the bed for some time and i'm sure she waited for me to wake up to tell me. Right before work Laura grabbed her elbow, went running into mommy's room and told her that I gave her an elbow strike. Too much power-rangers i think. Anyway, Little Catherine is like a candle in a dark cellar. Something about a 10 month old greeting you with a smile in the morning and right after work that makes a daddy giddy. She greets me like Hitler would with a salute, I think she's trying to blow kisses. Well, lets hope this is the first of many blogga's going on. Go with Buddah!!
