I am currently reading "She Calls Me Daddy" which I would recommend to any father with a daughter. I just finished a part where Wolgemuth talks about how it's so great to write out little notes for your girl (from either mom or dad), and leave 'em in places for her to find, or pack 'em away in lunch boxes, for example. He then goes on to say that you should never send notes for little boys. He doesn't explain why, but says, trust me on this - don't send notes for boys. Hmmm... does anyone know why he is saying that? The only obvious thing that jumps out to me is that boys will get teased. Maybe I'm missing something.
Anyway, why did I think of this? As I was putting away my lunch box at work this morning, I opened it up to get my packet of oatmeal out. There in the corner was a little note with my name on it. It was Tish's writing. Inside was a cute little lovey, dovey note she had written. Well, I certainly enjoyed getting that note!!
In other news, Priya is now seven months old. As anyone with kids will tell you, man time flies. My parents are coming in a couple of weeks, and we have her dedication planned for Nov. 27th. I guess I have only a few more weeks of exclusive claim on her. After that, I'll have to share her with the Lord. :-)

I love the hat!
By the way, I am terribly angry and offended about the Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks comment. I am planning my retaliation accordingly. Be prepared. :)
Wow shes 7 months already. I remember when you asked tish to marry you at church.Seems like yesterday, How romantic. kinda like tom hanks and meg ryan movies, I know you love those.
I am curious why not give notes to boys? I could see the teasing thing if one gives them a note at school, but home on his desk or in his sock draw...? We should ask the author.
If we have a girl this time round I will take up your recommendation on the book.
