Being A Daddy

I never realized how much I would enjoy Maya's morning mantra of "Daddy...cocoa...George...couch." I never realized how mesmerized I would be watching my little monkey fanatic sleep. I never realized how much I would melt when I heard the words "Daddy...hug...kiss!"





Nor, did I ever imagine I would enjoy being called "Daddy," "Mommy-Pete", "Daddy-Pete," or "Mommy-Daddy" as much as I do...I'm looking forward to more time with Maya.

Family Update

A lot has happened since our last blog...thanks to my Dad, Maya can now say "dang-it" very clearly and thanks to our bed-time ritual Maya walks all around the house singing her dolls to sleep and asking us to pray for people randomly throughout the day AND we have moved. That being said we have also resigned from the positions we held in Reno. We are temporarily in Ohio where Kim is looking for a travel nurse position and I'm hopefully going to start substitute teaching and finish off my MDiv. before our next big adventure...Army Chaplaincy. We are hoping that things will stay on target and I will arrive for training in June and then we will go to our first assignment in September. Here are a few pictures from the last week or so in Ohio, including Maya on her toddler bed that Papa Robinson, Kim and I made for her.
