As many of you know I am a travel some for work, and whenever there is something I really want to do, I end up being out of town that day.
Well, tomorrow, Halloween, is one of those days.  It is Ace’s first Trick Or Treat and there is a very good chance that I will miss [...]

Tonight was Momma’s first evening at work.  I was in charge of dinner and all of the bedtime activities.  Simple enough eh?  I thought so…
Our neighbor watched Ace for about an hour between the time that Momma left for work and I got home from work.   When I got home from work the babysitter went [...]

I’ve always driven a truck except for the past few years. I bought a Ford Ranger 5 or 6 years ago and my wife bought a Ford Taurus. When I took on this last job we switched vehicles…she drove the Ranger and I drove the Taurus.

My Dad has never been one to be interested in babies.  I don’t know how he acted when my brother and I were little, but I never remember him purposely holding a baby.
I was the exact same way.  Ace was the first baby that I had ever held that was younger than 6-7 months.  Babies [...]

A while back I wrote a post explaining how Momma was going to be quiting her job and staying home with Ace during the day. Momma has not worked for a few weeks now, Ace is not going to day care anymore, and we have figured out one very important thing…we can’t afford it!

TIME put out a great article titled Fatherhood 2.0.  Now you have probably heard the phrase Web 2.0, but do you know what it means?  Nothing is different about the technical aspects of the internet, just the way we use it.  It is kind of like a new way of thinking about the internet.
