To Stephen on the birth of Brody

Congrats my friend. Today is a great day and a new beginning. It is on this day that a man gets to "right the wrongs" and "start over". We cannot change who our parents were or who we were before this day, no matter how much we want to. However, you are now 500% in charge of the "type" of  parent you choose to be. Be assured,  your actions and words will most certainly mold the young man that Brody will become.
Take a breath and take it in. Kiss your wife and baby. Savor the moment!
We will handle your business like it was ours. I will see to it. :)

From Alexis on my 50th

Happy birthday!!!!!! I am so thankful to call you my dad. You've made me into the person I am and put up with me and that's definitely a challenge! I love you!!!! :)
