Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1690. It has been a long time my friends. I apologize for my absence, but this week almost did the Captain in. Been a fun, busy, frustrating week.

Cheerio
Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1680. It’s odd how sometimes you notice things while you are asleep. Like a child. Standing at the foot of your bed, seeking entry to “cuddle”.

I wrote a post on Life of Dad about the lessons of giving up sports for Lent. It was harder than I thought, but also more rewarding than I expected. Go check it out and check out a bunch of other really cool daddy bloggers. Don’t forget the usual… If you enjoyed this post, or…
Why I may be destined to fail as a father…
Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1669B. So I have done some thinking. I may be destined to fail as a father. No, I don’t dislike my kids. No, I haven’t put them in harms way nor do I intend to. I have just had bad role models. I’m not talking about my father, or…
