Carl

sometimes life gets so hectic that it's easy to forget what it's all about. tonight i was reminded of a simple concept; specifically the pure love of a father to a son. i sat there and watched as carl took time out of his evening to skype with us so that he could walk nic through setting our downstairs toilet (yay!!). he was patient, informative and loving. i can't help but be so grateful for carl and his example to all of us, but especially to his sons. i'm so blessed to have married someone that grew up with a father that passed down all the qualities i hoped for in a husband.

thanks carl, for all you do.
