Father's Thread

Great idea for a forum.

i can honestly say that as a father of a 4 year old daughter, there is no greater joy in my life than coming home each day to her greeting and hugs.

One of the nice things about living in Orlando and working in tourism is the endless opportunities foe family fun and after seeing my stepdaughter turn 17 and want nothing much to do with parents, I am cherishing every minute with my daughter.

Seems like it was just yesterday that they were babies.

My daughter who is now 19.

and my son who is now 6.

They grow up too fast.

Great picture Patrick, thanks for sharing! I have two daughters one will be 31 next month the other just turned 27.

Really enjoyed watching them grow up and being involved in all their activities. Both were in the high school band and we spent a lot of time traveling with them going to the competitions and bowl games. Chrissy also danced from the time she was 3 through college. She went on to be a teacher and coach for the dance drill team.

Chrissy was married in Jamaica to a guy I really like. He also indulges in cigars and we've had numerous herfs together. They live in Kansas now.

Jennifer moved back to our home town after college and is working for a company that contracts with the state. Fortunately they are benefiting from the government stimulus package.

All in all a great trip. Wonderful times both when they lived at home and now that they are out on their own.

You are in for a great experience. Enjoy every minute Patrick!

Twin 5 month old girls here. Talk about new experiences. Every day the little buggers are discovering something new. This morning one of them was able to move herself about halfway over to her sisters play mat. They've been rolling, but this was moving forward. They're taking their morning naps now...I can hear the swings clacking as I'm typing.

Couple of recent ones...
