			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love my kids and that is undeniable but at times I feel like I&#8217;m not being the best dad I can be.  I&#8217;m so caught up on trying to be successful that sometimes it feels like I&#8217;m just not giving enough attention to my boys.  I have a goal in mind and my thought process has to do with my children benefiting from my success.  I feel that if I work hard now my kids will be able to reap the rewards tomorrow.  What are your thoughts?  Do you feel that your children are young once and there should be nothing to interfere with that time in their lives or would you focus on your goal with intentions that your children will thank you for all your hard work later?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">I remember my best friend trying to explain to me what it&#8217;s like being a parent.  I always felt that I was able to completely relate.  I&#8217;m not sure how I thought that but it wasn&#8217;t until I actually had my sons brought into this world that I was finally able to grasp what he and every parent (even my mom) ever felt.  One of those moment happened tonight as I was working on my computer.  I decided to turn around and there they were, my 2 angels right there on my bed sleeping so peacefully.  Now I&#8217;ve had my moments where they just drive me up the wall but right here is one of those moments where none of that bothers me.  All I can do is smile and feel so happy.  Here&#8217;s a quick little video of me capturing that moment.<br />
