| Cal, thanks for asking about my kids. When you mentioned reading to your son, it sure reminds me of home. I can scarcly come home, tired, sore, and filthy, and my 2 year old Hanna Grace or 3 year old Callie Dalton will start bringing me books to read. I usually catch a quick shower and read several books. My son, Cl;ayton Wyatt is 6 now, and reads well, but he crowds in whenever I start to read. My oldest is Paigy( age 7); I worry about her getting displaced by the young heathens. I don't know where Paige gets her genetic code, but I'm pretty suspicous her momma was jumpin the fence. I llike to let Paigy stay up later than the wild bunch so she still gets some personal attention. Paigy likes to read the Bible with me, and her understanding is amazing. My newborn is Reagan Valentine, and she is doing great. She was born with a lesser developed foot, but its catching up nicely. My wife, Michelle, does an amazing job attending to the important stuff and identifying the unimportant stuff.

Well, Brad, sounds like everyone in your family has a good deal going. Good for you, for knowing the important stuff as well as your wife knowing it too. It is easy to tell, you are a proud papa!!
I have felt for a long time in this wonderful country of ours, that the word success is defined wrong in that it seems to mean, Money and Power. To me, to say a man is successful man means he is a good husband and father.
I bet you are very successful!!!!

Faster Horses, I couldn't agree more and wish that could be part of the schools' curriculum. And ditto for Wives and Mothers.
P.S. to those who asked: the shoulder is improving though not ready to haul myself up on a horse yet unless it's a carpenters.

Brad, let us know if you got a black eye over that "fence jumping" comment. LOL You and your wife picked some pretty cool names, but I especially like the name Reagan Valentine. Our boy has the same name as a little town west of Valentine, (and no, it isn't "Kilgore") Cody.

Brad S- those are all interesting names. But what is Paigy's middle name?
