"Parenting club".

 

I've never heard that moniker for one's appendage before.

You gotta admit it definitely sounds better than parenting vienna sausage.

"if you treat her right no man will ever be allowed to treat her wrong"

 

I like that. I think I will put that at the bottom of a poster I am making of my little girl. Thanks muff

 

Women (or mothers, at least) must be born knowing that. My wife said the same thing two years ago when we brought Elaina home.

And it's all true! :tup:

I think Muffy gets the all time quotealbe...

so very true. My wife always reminds me to give my daughter plenty of hugs, and flowers. that way no boy can come along with just a few complements and take her away from her Papa.

I have a couple times. I love hearing about other father stories and pictures of cute babies.

This is my little man. Being a dad is the best thing I have ever done. I spent some time last night in the wee hours of the evening feeding his little sister (one month old today). When she finished she just layed on my chest, eyes wide open looking at me for 20 minutes or so before she finally went to sleep. Melted my heart.

 

Enough of this mushy stuff, Dad is still the enforcer

i wish someone would have told my dad that

 

every day for the past 5 years i have watched a girl at my boys school get walked to class by her dad. he carries her back pack for her and walks her all the way into class. it seems like they have a little ritual. time that she gets of her dad's. it seems really special. i would love to see all little girls have time like that with their dads.

IF you want to be really good to your kids, get rid of your television set.

She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol

And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal

Well she pressed her chest against me

About the time the juke box broke

Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of the neck

And these are the words she spoke

 

Chorus:

Blow up your T.V. throw away your paper

Go to the country, build you a home

Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches

Try an find Jesus on your own

 

Well, I sat there at the table and I acted real naive

For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve

Well, she danced around the bar room and she did the hoochy-coo

Yeah she sang her song all night long, tellin' me what to do

 

Repeat chorus:

 

Well, I was young and hungry and about to leave that place

When just as I was leavin', well she looked me in the face

I said "You must know the answer."

"She said, "No but I'll give it a try."

And to this very day we've been livin' our way

And here is the reason why

 

We blew up our T.V. threw away our paper

Went to the country, built us a home

Had a lot of children, fed 'em on peaches

They all found Jesus on their own

We did......very hard to do being I love TV but we decided we did not the TV to become a pacifier. So the TV went into the garage…..we don’t have a microwave either.

[pink]

so now you hang out in the garage and eat jiffy pop?

As has been said by many, this is a great thread . . .

 

Here is Nathan . . .

 

On his first hike at 3 weeks old last December on the way to Lake 22.

 

 

And on his most recent trip on Sunday near Mt. Baker.

 

[kevbone]

Great pictures....thanks for sharing.

[Jason_Martin]

Well, it's been a crazy week...but we got our daughter up into the mountains for a picnic at one week old. Very exciting!

 

 

She's not exactly sending the gnar yet...but I suppose the first trip outside is the first step.

My wife sewed this nifty bug net for our son Nicholas (3 months old). After this pic was taken, a velcro fastener was added and some trim was put on the neck to make it all comfy. He's ready for the backcountry now!

[bstach]

 

Here is some pics of our 2 month old son camping at Birkenhead Lake (near Pemberton).

 

Good times.
