![]() 13 years ago today I had the awesome privilege of becoming a daddy. It was one of the most incredible and terrifying moments of my life. I always wanted to have children, a lot of them, and on that Wednesday night in New Orleans that desire became a reality. The moment I laid eyes on and first held that dark haired, blue eyed little girl I crumbled. In that moment I knew life would never be the same again. As a new parent that might have been the only thing I was right about but I was pretty confident my life was forever changed. Fast forward 13 years and now our quiver is VERY full. We are blessed to have 3 daughters. I've learned so much and while I'm certainly no expert, my knowledge base has grown. In honor of Madison's 13th birthday, here are some things I've learned as a dad.
If you are a parent I'm sure you have your own list. At some point you've probably even thought "now I understand why some animals in the wild eat their young". You aren't alone!! It's an exhausting and rewarding job. I'm entering into a new dimension, parenting a teen. A girl teen. I'm terrified yet hopeful. Wherever you are on your parenting journey, whether you are contemplating starting a family or you are experiencing empty nest, this phrase is probably fitting....may the odds be ever in your favor! #parenting #HappyBirthdayMadison #dadofdaughters #childrenareagift
