Those of you that know me, know that I don't do holidays. Well, tonight, Wendy and I took the girls trick-or-treating. Yes, that is right, I tagged along. This is a huge step for me, I don't usually go with them, often times because of games or something that I am committed to. In fact, if I am at home alone I don't even turn the porch light on. I know hammer me all you want, but I am changing.
Why? Well about a year ago I read a book titled More Than A Dad by Scot Anderson. It is one of the best Christian books that I have ever read and I would highly recommend it to anyone. I would share with you what it is about but then you might not find it and read it, plus as I said, it's been a year I don't remember much. I plan to re-read the book over Thanksgiving. Let me know what you think if you actually read it.
Enjoy the pictures. Brecken was Strawberry Shortcake and Camdyn was Tinker Bell.

Way to go Chad. When you are old you will want to remember what is like when they were little. I already have trouble recalling some things with Anna. Anna was Strawberry Shortcake last year, so we can relate to the costume. Glad you enjoyed Halloween.
Chad - thanks for sharing that.
I think many dads struggle with choosing work or other selfish things over time with their families. I don't think it's intentional - we just get busy meeting deadlines and end up taking our families for granted.
However, it doesn't take much to wake us up. Sounds like "More than a Dad" was your wake-up call.
There is no greater responsibility - or pleasure - than being a father.
Thanks for reminding us of that.
Glad you enjoyed being with your girls on Halloween...you'll never regret the memories you made for them.
I really appreciated your thoughts on being an involved dad.

Cute kids!
