Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition; but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.

“If all the people in the world were nice could we just get rid of the word mean?”

'I'm not beautiful, I'm pretty!' (Angrily at age 2 and a half. After getting into his sister's toy makeup case and being called beautiful...)

'Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.'

I hope they get here soon. The kids are biting at the chomp.
