Introduction

Hi Twoops!

I'm not sure how old you will be when you first start reading this.  At this point, I don't have any particular plans about when I will reveal this to you.  Will it be when you go off to college?  Will it be when you first learn how to read?  I honestly have no idea right now.  I only know that I will be writing this for a long time before you first read it.

As of this moment, you are four months away from being born.  So, we don't even know whether you are going to be a boy or girl yet.  So that's why this post just calls you Twoops since we don't have a name for you yet.  Twoops comes from 2.0 (you know, you're the second edition!).  In case that doesn't make sense whenever you're reading this, things used to be labeled as 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, etc... depending on which version of the original they were.

By way of introduction, I'm 42 years old at the time of this writing.  So, yeah, as I'm sure you know by this point, I'm a little older than the average dad at the time of your birth.

As I am sure you also know, I am absolutely thrilled to be your father.  Your mother has given me a lot of amazing gifts over the years (and more, I am sure, by the time that you read this).  Of all of them, though, the decision to have you and your brother is the absolute greatest.

The point of this blog is to try and chronicle some of the things that are going on in your life as the years go by.  I'm going to try to add in a few highlights each week.  This is designed to be a sort of living scrapbook so that later in life I can share all kinds of things that I might have otherwise forgotten.

I love you!

Your Dad
