Thank you, Lord, for ev'ry little thing.
Thank you, Lord, for you made me sing.

It's been an eventful three weeks which hopefully explains the lack of entries. Sage Logan Wayne joined our family on June 12th and now we are a foursome. Our family is complete! It was quite an entry you made, boy. Couldn't have waited another week like we had planned, huh? I guess that'll teach us not to include your input in future planning meetings.

It's taking some time for us all to get adjusted and I think given the circumstances we're all performing remarkably well. Sage, you are amazing. You exude a peaceful calm that finds its way into me whenever I look at you. You are truly a miracle. I know this "break-in" period has been rough in spots, but you are handling it like a pro.

Seth, my wiser-than-wise partner in crime. You make me proud to be your father. You are handling the rigors of being a four-year-old while at the same time showing a sense of love and compassion for your new brother that is far, far beyond your years. Never lose that sensitivity. It will take you anywhere you want to go in life. But it's still good to have a little Bad Boy in you though.

My beautiful wife...wow. You have been a rock. I marvel at how you have been handling the demands on you. I could stare for hours at the way you look at Sage. The absolute definition of unconditional love personified. Thank you for what you bring to my life and to our family.

So now we are complete. And we begin this journey together to see where life takes the Wayne family. Knowing the four of us, it won't be an uneventful one. Are you guys ready? I know I am...with my Dream Team at my side. I love you all more than any blog post could ever begin to express.
