fathers day

I had a great fathers day. Nicole painted Samantha's little foot in a rainbow of colors and pressed it on a small white tile and wrote 'Daddy & Samantha' on it for me. She made ones for the grandpas as well. It was awesome. The boys got me a cool digital frame that runs off a usb key drive. Nicole is going to load some recent pictures on it for me. Jordan created a personal card for me with a poem on the inside. I couldn't ask for more. This is what being a dad is all about.

Welcome Samantha

Ok - after a long absense and a good beating for writting a blog from some folks that shouldn't care - i really want to get back to it. There are so many things i love that i get to do every day.

• My Wife
• My Family
• My Work

And did I mention my new baby daughter Samantha?

(Samantha Lynn Pape - Born March 24, 2007 at 6:39pm - 8lbs 11oz - 21 inches long)

I may have also put a small gallery of pictures of her together over on Picasa

I'll cover a bit more later - as I'm pretty comfortable with where I'm headed and if not - it's not going to be because I like to talk about it on my blog.
