Jamsie:

4 months ago, you were brought into this world at the University of Illinois in Chicago. It was 11:30am on a cold day during one of the most wintery of winters Chicago has seen in a while. We were both exhausted by the time you came out. Fuiste un precioso milago, y lo sigues siendo.

pedazo de mi corazon

your and dad's very first diaper change!

Today I see a handsome baby boy with an amazing future ahead of him.

Green Eggs and Ham all the way

Work it.

'nuff said.

Tonight I took you to hang out with some friends I'm connected with through Imago Dei Community Church. You were charming, of course, and so attentive to people who are speaking around you. I think you might start talking early so you can voice all those thoughts that must be going through your head. I cannot wait until we have our own conversations! I'm going to learn so much from you.

Oh! One more thing I need to share with you. Yesterday Oregon passed a law that allows two people of the same sex to have their marriage recognized under the law! I bet you'll have a hard time believing there was ever a time that two people's love wasn't respected under the law and by too many people out there. At least I hope that's the case. I like to think that we as people are moving towards attitudes that respect the dignity of every person, no matter who they are.

Love you papito.
Muah!
