Papa looking frightened !
"When a child is born, a father is born. A mother is born too, of course, but at least for her it's a gradual process. Body & soul, she has had nine months to get used to what's happening. She becomes what's happening. But for even the best prepared father, it happens at once. On the other side of a plate-glass window, a nurse is holding up something roughly the size of a loaf of bread for him to see for the first time."
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE DADS IN MY LIFE !

Terri, your quotes are great! And I love seeing Uncle John's hair change so much with each baby. Great pics!
Great pictures and quotes! I thought the same thing as Amy - dad gets more clean-cut and conservative looking with each child!!! It's funny. Happy Father's Day Dad! I love you!!!!
