## Caption

Our first Father & Sonday of the new year and as always, real life is so much more fun than what can be captured on video. 

Josiah & Moriah watch me like a hawk. All of my people from back home say they talk like they're from NY despite the fact they aren't growing up there. That serves as a reminder of how big of an influence I have on them. 

When we spend one on one time together Josiah’s observation of me is heightened. The way I treat others. The way I stand. The way I dress. The way I tip. The way I handle my phone. The way I express myself. The way I value time is all under immense scrutiny. Josiah's number one question all day is, why dad? So funny but so serious. 

I'm often reminded of the tale... A father said to his son, be careful where you walk. The son responded, you be careful... remember that I follow in your footsteps. That's fatherhood. Living by example.
