Life with my son Daniel is amazing. It is a blessing I cannot explain. Seems like me and Sunila cannot comprehend what life would be without him. Life before he was born is a distant memory. There are times when Danny comes up with some very funny and/or thoughtful comments. I guess I've already forgotten many but I'd like to start saving some memories in these pages.

Some from the past ...

• My middle name is "Kookintow".
• To Mom - "I love you so much. As a flower".

• Eating at the dining table, "Dad, why don't bikes have seat belts?"
• Mom is surfing the net. Danny comes over and asks, "Mom, are you going dot com on me?"
• Early in the morning Danny comes over to Mom in bed and asks, "Wanna wake up Sweety?"
• Danny - "Mom why are you vegetarian? Is it because someone killed the goat?" Mom - "Yes". Danny - "But we didn't kill the goat, Daddy didn't kill the goat, its already dead."
• Mom's eating a boiled egg and Danny goes - "Mom you are eating a baby chicken!".
