It has been really nice the past 2 days and I decided to take my son for a walk in the woods in the town I live in.  We took the digital camera with and got some great photos of some birds and squirrels and some deer... Unfortunately I have misplaced my USB cable for my camera so pictures will be posted in another blog.  We happened to see some deer running around in the woods but couldn't really get a good picture of them. 

 My iPod is dead already!  My wife accidentally washed it... she felt bad and I couldn't really be mad at her, but for anyone who doesn't check pockets before washing things, start doing it!! 

 If only apple made a waterproof iPod...
 

When asked who they admire most, probably all of the people asked would say the names of famous people or their fathers or mothers, but I think I'm fairly unique when I say that the person I admire the most is my son.  He is 6 years old now and almost in 1st grade.  He has taught me a lot about life that I was too immature to see until I had him.  The way he looks at things with such a curious eye when I would have just glanced over them and taken it for granted is especially interesting.  It's also nice to see how he easily forgives his friends even after they hurt his feelings.  He is so excited about life every day when he wakes up and is ready to start his day even when I'm dragging in the morning and always is excited to see me and his mother.

Although I'm sure a lot of this will change as he gets older, I can still learn a lot about how to act as a parent and as a human in general.   A lot of people say that  I should have waited to have kids, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. 

Have a great week!
