I had to turn on the lights in our family room and get this shot of our daughter Reagan asleep on the couch with our dog, Fergie. I am a bad dad for leaving my daughter on the couch, especially since my wife just repainted her room at our daughters request. She said her room needed to be updated to reflect more of a “tween” theme! Am I in trouble or what.

Only dads can get away with stuff like this! I think one of the great things about fathers is how we desire to goof off with our kids.  Never underestimate the power of having fun with your children.  I know that dads, especially those like me, can get a lot of flack for “always wanting to play” and not taking things very serious.  But think about all the memories created by goofy, fun dads. Raising our children takes a lot of work, sweat, tears, and prayer.  Sometimes we need to not taking life so seriously and just have fun together.

What do you think? Do dads need to be more serious? Let us know your thoughts =]
