Independence Day

I leaned over to the wife during the fireworks last night and said, "Next year, we will have our baby here for their first fireworks."  I was so happy while saying it, I almost cried.  I can't wait to experience all these firsts with my child.  Mostly it's being able to see these things all over again through my kid's eyes.  I can't wait for them to see their first fireworks, go trick or treating, or solve their first long division problem.  I know it will be hard at times and it's not all fun and games, but I am going to try my hardest to make it mostly fun and games.
