I found this in our drafts, something Kevin wrote back in July and somehow never got posted:
SO…..we haven’t posted anything here in quite a while. Rest assured that it is not because we are any less enthusiastic about being parents but more because we don’t have a lot of time at the end of the day. However, we are on vacation now, on cape cod and time is a little more easy to come by at this point. Haleigh is growing and developing normally. She has started making vocalizations (her attempts at conversation), and it is great. I love waking up in the morning to the sounds of her talking to herself. I love waking up in the morning, peeking over the edge of her crib and being met with a happy grunt and a smile. I’m sure most parents feel the way I do but it is definitely something that you can’t appreciate fully until you go through it yourself. As we close in on the three month anniversay of Haleigh’s birth, we are fortunate enough to see daily advances in her cognitive, verbal, physical and social abilities. She continues to “infect” us with her addicitve smile and her great sense of humor. I don’t know exactly what we did before her but I do know that I would never want to go back. In a time when divorce is at about 50% and broken families are on the rise, I am happy to say that I could not wish for a better wife or a better daughter. Allison and Haleigh are the reason I strive to succeed in everything I do and I only hope that I can be successful enough to always provide everything that they need and everything that they deserve.
