As I poured a cup of coffee from my new Bunn Velocity 10 Cup Jet Fueled Brew System, I considered the last 9 months of #fatherhood. I’ve received texts, well wishes, and an undeserved extra 20 minutes of sleep from my wife, who got up to retrieve Charlie from her crib this morning.

I’m not going to waste a bunch of time writing a long and involved love letter to fatherhood.  I’ve got Father’s Day gloating and family pool time to enjoy with the in-laws.

Instead, I’m going to say it’s been the most challenging and most rewarding 9 months of my life… The first 5 months made me question everything about myself: maturity, morals and moxie. The past four months rewarded me with celebrations of the smallest milestones.

In unrelated news, the blog got an overhaul over the past few weeks and my six Russian bot readers will notice some changes in frequency and content over the next couple weeks.

Don’t be alarmed, you can be here for all or none of it. But I’m a #dad everyday. Time to write like one.
