Dan,
I have been so impressed as I've watched you grow into this mature, hard working, responsible man. From the Marine Corps, getting married, moving away and now starting a family, your journey has been one I've enjoyed watching. I look forward to seeing your eyes light up as you experience the joys of being of father. You are going to be the apple of that little girl's eye as she will be yours. Little girls are the best gifts a dad could ever have. Enjoy the ride!
Heather,
I never met any of Dan's ex-girlfriends...not sure there were any. Ha!! But one thing is for sure, he got it right when he found you. I honestly think you two are soul mates. It warms my heart to see how much love you two have have for another. Thank you for being a wonderful wife and thank you for giving me a niece I can spoil rotten. You are going to make a wonderful mother. I love you both!!

My Gift To You
When I heard that both of my brothers were going to be having babies, I was elated. I could not have been happier for them but, most of all, I was finally going to be the aunt I had dreamt of being for so long.
As exciting as this news was, it was also bittersweet. It saddened me to think about us living so far apart from each other and even farther apart from our parents. I wanted nothing more than to see our children grow up together. I wanted to be around to babysit whenever you needed me. I can't imagine not being there to see them the minute they enter this world.
Unfortunately, life doesn't always turn out the way we hoped it would. People go their separate ways and they have to find other ways to stay close and not break those ties that bind them.
As my gift to you both, I have decided to create two blogs in honor of my niece and nephew. I will post all the latest information and photos I receive from you from now until their 1st birthdays.
My goal is to give you, the parents, a virtual scrapbook that will allow you to share all the joys to come with those that love you and want to be a part of this journey.
BTW...Just typing the words "my niece and nephew" got me all choked up.
