Updates at the end of one year, about to start anew...

A brief entry, from a looooong hiatus, reconsiderations for those just starting in the fatherhood field... My daughter is now 13 months old, sleeping (mostly) through the night, and currently struggling with sleeping during naps (2 x's only) in the day, and teething like it was going out of style! A hope, an aspiration for all of us out there, as our kids grow right before our eyes, and the responsibility for them grows, becomes more enriched, and the bond becomes ever deeper with them, we can only hope to keep up with the costs. Well, thanks to our current economy, who knows - all anyone can do is try to keep up, just not with the Joneses anymore. For yours truly, a full-time gig, plus an extra bit in the evenings can help, but as I've learned, beware of any online businesses touting making tons on the side for 5-10 hrs of work online each week. May as well be playing the lottery, for the odds might be just as good...Perhaps it's a skeptic speaking here, but just learning to be protective of funds, rather than just saying whatever - those days are long gone, the income too precious, and risk-taking takes the backseat to ensuring food on the table, a roof over the head, and clothes on our backs. Amen. I'll try to update entries a bit more frequently nowadays, with pertinent content to what might be sought by new dads...
