Sometimes we all need a good cry. Well I got mine on Sunday when I had to take Lucas back. I seriously haven't cried in a while and I guess I was due! Unfortunately he was sick again so it was a long weekend, but we a had a great visit again and managed to get through the weekend unscathed. That boy might have been sick, but he still doesn't know how to slow down. He was constantly climbing, crawling and bawling. I kept telling him "you might feel a bit better if you would slow down for a few minutes." 
Saturday night I basically pulled an all nighter so I was a bit tired on Sunday, and just chased the little man around all day. I apologize to all the Whichita Fallsiens that I haven't seen when I go to visit. One of these times he won't be sick and we will make the rounds. Extra thanks to those that come visit us (Adam and Ellen), and for our most hospitable host (Mike).
I will end my post with this. I know my family has the cutest boys, maybe I am biased, but this boy has got to be cutest of all the little boys worlwide!

I still cry when I drive away after dropping off my child... I would not wish our pain on my worst enemy but I will tell you that when parents put the child first everything can be better. Our boy knows that he has 4 parents that put him first to the best of our ability and although we sometimes disagree, he knows only our collective and diverse love. Getting along allows for more participation and I really hope everyone gets to that point for the sake of your child. You're an exceptional man and you will have an impact regardless of the amount of time spent -- he will know your love and be assured of it, I promise. You will be exhausted every weekend and it's a kind of fatigue that you can't wait to experience again.
Something that changed my perspective was the quote: "The best thing a man can do for his son is to love the mother." I was not happy when I read that because it resonated as being so correct that I knew I had to persevere -- we, as fathers, have the task of making sure our children find health that exceeds our own; I know you are well on your way to fulfilling that commitment.
