There are times that I am "in the gut happy". These moments come out of nowhere and remind me of how blessed I am. Mostly it's the small things; like Dilann running to Stanford when he gets home yelling "daddy!", or when Hayden tells me to close my eyes and then places her hands on my checks to give me a kiss. It amazes me how much love children have to give.  As we go into the holiday season I want to remember these moments. I want to give them gifts they will enjoy, but mostly I want to give them happy memories and traditions that will make them "in the gut happy" as the years pass. That is my focus this season. Traditions, family moments, and love.
