Captain's Blog: To My Sons (and Wife)

Connor and Finn,

Today is Father's Day, 2011 and I am having to spend it away from you both. I have used this blog since it's creation as a record for you two to be able to know what was happening during your lives as you grew from tiny babies to wee men. Today is no different, you both have made such a tremendous impact on me and I am thankful everyday for both of you.

Connor, you are a funny little man and you make me smile so many times everyday...thank you little buddy for that! Here is a picture of you and I in San Francisco when you were about 1 1/2 years old. We were quite thirsty!









Finnegan,

You have been an absolute joy since you were born. You are just shy of 6 months, so we haven't had a chance to get you out and about around the country, but your time is coming little man! I can't wait to show you all the cool things in this life! Connor and I are ready for you to get running around so that we can all play...as Connor would say...'ALL DAY LONG'! Finn, here is a picture of you and I on your first merry-go-round.










I love you both very much and am excited to get home to see both of you! And Lacey, even though you are in ()'s in the title...I love you very much and am so thankful for all that you've given me over the years. Can't wait to see you either!

Love,

Dad

So proud of you Ryan Lauchard. So proud to be your sister and know what a fine young man and a fabulous passionate, loving, caring, hands-on Father you are. Although we may not be close, I think of you and your family every day and smile. Love your big crazy sister.
