That was the ques­tion Greg Sal­ci­c­ci­oli asked me last night, just moments after we wit­nessed the mar­riage of his old­est son Nate.

One year ago, we also had the priv­i­lege of attend­ing their younger son’s wed­ding. Greg and Dianna have two sons, and now in the last year they have gained two daugh­ters. As Greg asked me the ques­tion, he was look­ing at my four kids who were stand­ing behind us, engrossed in a con­ver­sa­tion of their own.

My off-the-cuff response was, “Yeah, I think so.” I have been work­ing hard and play­ing hard with them, and I think we are get­ting plenty of time together. But when I woke up this morn­ing, I was still pon­der­ing Greg’s ques­tion. Am I spend­ing enough time with my kids?
