Today is Oliver’s first birthday. Hard to believe our little guy is officially one.

With each passing year for each of our little one’s young lives, I am reminded of a couple of really important.

First, I am reminded of how lucky I am. Not only to have happy and healthy kids, but to be married to the best mom and wife in the biz.

Next, I am reminded of all the potential that each of them (and each of you) possess. With each passing year I imagine each of them and all the possibilities their future holds and I am amazed.

I am also reminded of how bright our future is. We here all this talk about how things are so bad and "it just ain’t what it used to be." I disagree. When I look at my kids (and the vast majority of the other kids I talk to), I can’t help but picture a future that "ain’t what it used to be" because it is so much better.

I could go on and on, but I will end with this reminder:

Our time is limited. We don’t have a never-ending supply of time. As each year passes, I am reminded more and more to make the most of the time I have with these three special kiddos (and all of you).

Happy Birthday to Oliver.

Make it a great day.
