Father/Daughter Getaway!

This past weekend my daughter and I went away on our annual father/daughter getaway with a bunch of other dads and daughters.  We love this time cause it allows us to get away from the craziness of our lives and the many distractions that keep us from enjoying each other's love!  I miss my little baby girl who has grown up TOOO fast before my eyes.  I've always been intentional with my time with my children and these little getaways are always a special bonus!  Here's a slideshow of our time with the other dads/daughters/(all the frogs that stole our daughters' attention from us!!!).  And a special thanks to Northview Christian Life Church for helping create these memories for the dads and daughters!

Determination Brings Success

Nothing is more important to me than my time with my family.  Last week I brought my daughter and her bike to school to practice riding without her training wheels!  I thought it was a lost cause when she was having trouble getting balanced enough to move a few inches.  That first rotation of the pedal was by far the hardest.  It even got to the point where I asked if she wanted to quit and try again another day.  Those of you who know my daughter know that, like me, she is determined (aka stubborn) to finish what she starts and succeed in any way possible.  Within an hour and a half, she went from not being able to balance to taking off and riding over 100 yards as if she has been doing it for years.  I've included a video clip half way through the progression.  I am indeed a proud Papa!

What are you doing in your life that you're determined to succeed at?  Are you taking the right steps?
