So as a father, certain things excite me that I once didn’t have a clue that they would. My 2 1/2 year old son Andrew and my wife Karla made cards for people today while I went to the grocery store. When I came back home, I was amazed at what I found.

Usually when Andrew makes cards he just scribbles the way most kids his age do. But today my wife showed me 5 or so cards with names written by Andrew on them. He has known his letters now for a while but still to see actual names written out was awesome. Of course my favorite one was the one he wrote “Daddy” on. I’m a little biased.

But I am very proud of him and how he is growing into a young man right before my eyes.
