Now Starts the Craft of the Father

I have written that over the last nine months many of my besties have had babies - some firsts and some seconds. But, what about the fathers? Where is their song? Where is their moment? Here is a little montage dedicated to my best friends' husbands & fathers (who luckily, are also some of my bff's too).
