A family in Progress

…and am I ever glad it was short trip!
Myles had his pediatrician’s appointment this morning. I’m pleased to share it went very well, basically with the pediatrician saying that she wasn’t sure why it was we were there.

To all those deserving dad’s out there. I hope your day was filled with special moments and memories.
