It has been over a year and this still hasn't taken shape. The blog started out as a way to share the day to day of our new arrival, Thomas Liam. It was also going to be a place to vent, postuelate and otherwise ramble with banter to fill the white space between the cute pictures.
Having no real feedback stream this inital attempt has floundered. Having recovered somewhat from the throes of baby #2 and the job that was killing me, as an attempt to connect with the rest of the world on multiple levels I will attempt to post in a more timely manner.
I am a father of two amazing little boys who are, in addition to my wife, my reason for being. I waited nearly 40 years to get married and even longer to have children, for fear mainly of not making the mistakes my cohorts did and end up divorced and splitting the kids, having alimony and all the fun stuff that accompanies. I grew up that way and did not want that fight when/as my children matured.
There are still challenges, obviously, "fights even"(but those are in my head and heart), but the reward of being able to put my boys ahead of life/me/things and truly enjoy the moments they bring has been much sweeter. It is a shame that disappears/eveolves so fast as they grow. Only yesterday it seems Ian was a crying, wet, hungry 9lb 6oz newborn fresh out of the NICU and bellowing for me to feed him at 3 a.m. Now , 6 months later he is close to 19 lbs and scoots around on his own and can hold is own bottle thank you very much.
If anything, and this is one of the few times I will suggest anything unsolicited, just enjoy the buggers now, foregt about yourself/problems a bit, they'll be asking fore money and the car keys before you know it. You will need the cool memories like the ones I share here when they call from a wreck 10 minutes after you have give them the car keys....
