That’s a description I had heard my bothers describe of me earlier, when i was fooling around and followed them to the driving range one evening. They said I have a good swing, only it lacked the whip of the wrist, that my swing is too rounded and even. Otherwise, I do “feel” it too [...]

Preparing for failure

April 28th, 2010 · 3 Comments · A father's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Education, life skills, milestones

I came home from work this evening and Caitlin came and greeted me; oily mouthed, as her and her grandparents were already having dinner. “She said she was hungry already, so we started dinner first”, said Grandma.

This was no April Fool’s joke! This morning in the car ride she’s reminded me that a couple of her teeth now feel wobbly.. I am happy that she is growing, but at the same time I don’t want her to!

Our China visit

January 5th, 2010 · No Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Adventures, Caitlin the heiress, Photo opp, The future, milestones

Caitlin turned 5!

December 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · A father's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Photo opp, milestones

She doesn’t find my jokes funny all the time anymore. She doesn’t tell me everything that’s bugging her, or what she is thinking anymore. I saw a bag of her old clothes ready to be given away- that she has grown out of. Spotted a pair of shorts that she likes / wears quite often. [...]
