Donuts with Dads is my favorite school tradition every year. This time my son wrote me a story that ended with, "I hope in the future I can help him back."

Labor Day marks the end of summer, one last pool party or get together before school kicks into full swing. Here's to enjoying the long weekend with family.

A simple lesson at the dinner table: teaching my sons to take a proper bite with a fork and spoon instead of letting it hang out, and chew with their mouth closed.

Tall or short, athletic or poetic, every dad is different. But we all want the same things for our kids, for them to be healthy, happy, and to thrive.
