Ode to the Mother of my Children

Since yesterday was Mother's Day, I spent some time thinking about mothers. Two mothers specifically. One was my own dear mother, of course, who is an angel. The other, is the mother of my children. She isn't just an angel herself, she has given birth to two angels, and is currently carrying a third. Unfortunately, although I come from angelic ancestry, I do not feel I can honestly claim responsibility for the angelness of my own daughters. For that, I have my lovely wife to thank. She is a sweetheart and I care for her dearly. She makes me very happy and I look forward to the many years ahead of us. She is a wonderful person and a wonderful wife.
Oh, and she puts up with the wild part of the children that I contributed. I cannot thank her enough for that.

On a side note, I also learned how to do a back-flip on a trampoline yesterday, and I started learning how to do a back-flip on solid ground.
In all my years of trampolining, I had never attempted a back-flip; however, that is no longer the case. I have gracefully entered the ranks of back-flipdom. (Well, maybe not gracefully, but nonetheless, I did it.)
