The Little Boy That Rocks My World

I hold my son, Finn Scott Lax, on the first full day of Finn's life.
Lydia took this photo with my camera phone tonight. I'm holding my son, Finn Scott. All of us - Finn's brother and sister and I - drove happily through the snow to see them. Tomorrow Lydia and Finn will be home.

I have a lot of stories to tell about all of this, and will, in a book I'm writing and a column I write for THE FATHER LIFE magazine. For now, I'll just say that Finn's birth was the most profound moment of my life.

I tell students never to write, "words can't express my emotions," so I won't say that. Yet, it's going to take a while to express them.

Welcome to the world, Finn. I love you.
