I am a very proud dad every day, but even more so now that my son passed the swimming test yesterday.  So now he can swim by himself, and go in the deep end of the pool.  This makes him very happy as well, but he still can't go on the big water slide they have because of an age restriction, but he has the swimming part down pat.  Next goal is to get rid of the training wheels on his bike, well I'm going to wait a little while for that, maybe in a few months :)

Hope you had a good time, we enjoyed having you here!  Sorry about, well you know.  Have a safe trip back to Detroit.  I will never forget your 'parting gift' :)

I have received my household goods(HHG) that my wife Meshelle sent.  The funny thing is that it is almost exactly a year from when we left Germany.  The last time we moved I believe we had about 10 crates and still had to make a few trips with my truck to get everything moved.  It is like a box of chocolates when your ex gets to choose what to send to you(my son and I), you never know what you are going to get.  In this case I got barely over 2 crates.

Though I have a feeling that her new boyfriend (W is it?) is enjoying my king sized bed that didn't make it, and my other stuff as well.  Ok, might not enjoy what happens or doesn't happen in it, but at least it's a comfortable bed.  I mean it would have been nice to at least send William's stuff.  Oh well, it's a new beginning, and that is a good thing and we have everything that we need.

Edit: There is a lot of stuff missing, but hey, maybe one day I will do a photo comparison :)

Well I think this is the straw breaking the camels back, 16inches so far and still snowing.  William and I went out to play but that lasted for about 5min tops.  The wind chill was aprox 16f, made it out the front door, and into the huge pile of snow where William decided to lay for a little while.  That was about enough for him and me, he tried to move forward and lost his rubber boot as it was stuck.  I think snow is so beautiful but I think I would rather visit it on a mountain, from a lift :-)  Then you see all the crazies out on the roads stuck, while they were asking people with 4wd to help get the doctors and staff to the hospitals.  It is times like this that I want to be somewhere far far south of here :-)

Edit: We ended up with 17inches of snow.

I got a call the other day from my wife Meshelle Dillard about an email that she had received from Aaron Eagen of Norridgewock Maine, a former coworker for her and former acquaintance of mine(until his issues).   The main question that she had for me was about his ex being called 'mommy' by my son.  Of course anyone that knows me, or has been around us knows that my son doesn't call anyone mommy.  The only way I would even allow that is if I were to get remarried, which is never going to happen.  Of course there is also the fact that Aaron is not even allowed to be near/around/talk to his ex for 2yrs regarding a protection order, but that's not my business to get into any further.

I can only assume that he must blame me for his wife leaving him even though anyone that knows both of them and the situation probably knows why she left him, and it has nothing what-so-ever to do with me.  Human nature says that we tend to blame others though, so that part is understandable, and hell if it makes him feel better, then I don't mind so much as long as it's only in his head.

What it comes down to is why would he say such a thing when the only person that it hurt is Meshelle.  This particularly crazy statement from him doesn't hurt me, it doesn't hurt his ex, just Meshelle Dillard, that is the only one that it has hurt.  Though for the life of me I can't figure out why he would want to hurt Meshelle.  Maybe just the type of person, or the drugs, or he is trying to hurt his ex and doesn't think about and/or care who he is hurting in the process.
