It’s time to step up our game Dads!

Today’s Dad is a different man than he was 30 years ago.  Gone are the days of walking in from work to a wife who has been home all day baking bread and cookies and is placing a plate of hot meat and potatoes on a perfectly set table.  Chances are, your wife is walking in the door behind you or has just picked up the kids from day care and is running through the drive through on her way home.

Taking Risks: When, How, and If

We went on a family skiing trip recently and on my son’s first run of the season, he fell and broke his arm. Thankfully, it was a clean hairline fracture and he should heal just fine. It may take his ego a bit longer to recover, as he was trying to follow his girlfriend when he fell.
