Hi Everyone! I am pretty excited to announce that my wife delivered a healthy baby girl last night at Mount St. Johns Medical Center in Antigua! I was there for the delivery just as I was with my first daughter! Although I am a bit tired now, I am very excited! I may post some pictures later this week or so. Both my wife and daughter are doing well so far! I won’t be able to answer any emails until Monday or so. So, please bare with me, everyone. Blessings, Michael

Reflections on being a father…

Fatherhood… I never truly understood what it means to be a child until I became a father. I never truly understood how my father used to look at me with a smile until I looked at my daughter with a smile. My daughter and I went on a walk today around the neighborhood. It was just great, really! Watching my daughter helped me to realize what fatherhood really is… it is seeing the things that your children can’t see and guiding them safely and lovingly through life. How did I come to that conclusion?
