Hello! I'm still here

WiMi and I celebrating our 3rd Fathers Day!

Hello friend, loyal readers , and fellow bloggers!  So sorry I've been away for so long.   I've been tending to some things, along with doing some sole-searching and wondering if I even wanted to continue this blog.  I really gave serious consideration to pulling the plug on the whole thing.  I felt perhaps I was being a bit hypocritical in trying to instill the virtues of fatherhood and parenting in others when I myself come up short when it comes to being the provider I feel I need to be as I continue to be "employment challenged"  entering a third year. 

I thought.... as much fun as I have with my boys... from the exciting adventures to the weekly Target visits....  I simply need to be doing more.   They aren't getting any younger and their needs and appetite are increasing.  Then a fellow dad-blogger who I shared my thoughts with reminded me to check my profile description and that part of it read-  "....Tried to make the most of a bad situation for the better part of this time"  He reminded me that's what father's do....  When faced with a challenging time or situation that threatens their family , they do whatever they can to "make the most of a bad situation"  He encouraged me to keep blogging and share my stories, insights, and experiences with dads and other parents and that giving up on the blog was a sign of giving up.

So here I am....  I'll gradually work my way back to normalcy.... there's been a lot that's happened since I last check in..... and I have plenty to share.  So stay tuned and watch for upcoming posts. Thanks for those who've continued to visit and read earlier posts. 

Lastly, I want to thank all those who sent Happy Fathers Day wishes.  They were greatly appreciated as WiMi and I celebrated our 3rd Fathers Day.  Never do I seek validation from readers/followers , but it's encouraging that others recognize the hard work, energy, sacrifices , and dedication that goes into being a good parent.  WiMi and I appreciate all the people who appreciate us, our stories and adventures.

My aunt makes the best cakes! Thanks aunt Shirley
