My dad’s talked about this since the early 90’s: Of bringing the whole extended family for a visit to his hometown (more like village).
Not that we minded the idea. Back then we only loathed about what the likely quality of basic amenities would be like. After all, there were stories of toilets with no [...]
Woken by the kids, got them some morning snacks, and since it wasn’t too sunny and hot….
Luckily for everyone, Caleb actually likes to push from behind. But it won’t be long though, before he’d be wanting to ride.
Yes, they were still in their jammies. It’s Sunday okay- give us parents a break!

Caitlin said something the other night and we shared a good laugh.
I mean a good laugh, you know the type that makes you laugh heartily, not the I am only entertaining or humoring you laugh.

And being the cheeky uncle that I am, during times of emailing and IM-ing with her I pressured her highlighting things like “Are [...]
Those of you invited, or know people who are invited, please don’t disclose this.
It is my parents’ 50th anniversary this year, and also a joint celebration for my mum’s birthday.
But my dad doesn’t want people to know these.
He is kinda shy about it, you see.
Also, both my parents just want friends and family to [...]
To date, I already do these (not blowing my horn- please just read on):
Change his diapers
Wipe the poo, wash the bits
Wash her up after she does both numbers 1 and 2
Dress her, in her uniform or casual clothes after a shower
Shower her: shampoo hair and lather body
Make milk
Brush her teeth
Put her to bed: lie with [...]

From my immediate post before this, I was given a few ideas for future post topics. The first two look like fun, so I am going to attempt them, the second one first!
Write about your conceptions about being a dad BEFORE you become and what happened after you become a dad? How have you changed [...]
