About Me

When it comes to my fatherhood, I wear two different shoes.

On the one foot I came into the world of fatherhood as a step-father to my daughter Hailey, who is now 10. Her Mom and I have been together since she was 6 and from day one she has opened up my heart. She is one special little girl!

On the other foot, just recently,with birth of my son, Wyatt born April 1,2010. He is one amazing little guy and everyday I can't wait to see whats to come.

One of the best parts about being a father, is getting to share my life with Lindsay my wife. We are a great team together.

Fathers Day

Welcome to my blog! My ever so intelligent and talented sister-in-law and fellow blogger http://latherwriterepeat.blogspot.com/ gave me the idea of starting a blog about fatherhood.

What better day than today to kick this all off and what better thing to write about than fathers that have/had/still influence/influenced me.

Grandpa George Gigian

We spent many times floating in the waters at otter falls, fishing every corner of the lake. Thanks Grandpa

Uncle John

I spent many of my younger years avoiding conversation with him with fear if I did, I would get teased. Now a days I find myself joking and picking fun at my ten year old daughter and think "betcha Uncle John had a hand in this". Thanks Uncle John.

Pete

This is my father-in-law. He lives a little distance away from me, but he influences me everyday through the hand he had in raising his daughter. Thanks Pete.

My Dad

Who has and still is teaching me what a great father is, some of these skills are: fishing, car repair, telling bad jokes, patience, understanding, the comb over and the list can go on and on and on. Thanks Dad.

So to all you fathers out there, Happy Fathers Day. Thank for all the advice/guidance/skills you have passed on and are still passing on.
