I don't like long pauses from posts. It seemed I was just getting rolling when I stopped posting all together. A quick run down of what has happened.

Biting
Well lets see that gets us through from March to now. This kid has squarely earned the nickname "Jaws". In fact I have put it on a hat. The funny thing is it really isn't her fault. She doesn't bite people . . . often. But she bits and chews up everthing. We recently got two dogs and aside from the more powerful jaw of the dog, they are neck and neck for how much stuff they have chewed up. She is the first kid that has actually destroyed board books that have survived two other kids.
Now, like I said, it isn't entirely her fault. She is actually cutting all of her molars at once. No one should have to deal with that kind of pain, but then again, Jaws is a unique baby.
Princess has started kindergarten and is doing well. Her husband is in the same class as she (long story) and she is quite happy about that. She also is in a great teachers class. I am proud of her so far and hope she doesn't grow up to fast. I was really surprised at how hard it was to see her in the big kid school. She is still my baby and even though we have a new baby at the house, Princess will always be my baby.
Diva has started school too, and after such a depressing year last year she is still up beat. It wasn't that last year was so bad, but she really had subpar teaching and, I think, she missed out on how fun 1st grade should be. So far I am still unsure about whether she is in a good class or not, but she seems to be doing ok.
I am getting ready to start a fatherhood podcast. It's not a new concept, but I think it will be fun. I will be working with two other fathers who were both also in education. I am using the experience to increase my skills. Hopefully I will have some to increase!
