Parenthood for Dummies
Being a father is a wild ride. My name is Christopher & these are my observations, theories & comments on life as the dad of my two boys Ripley & Jayden. I write this to air my thoughts & update my friends & family with photos, videos and such like. For everyone else I offer hints and tips on parenting as I learn them. For legal reasons I make no direct reference to my employer or any of my colleagues.

Pennys Parents
... are bloody fantastic. I feel it is only fair to mention them in this blog as it is easy to take for granted people who are always helping. Penny just told me they have popped down to finish painting the nursery, it is funny, Penny and her parents keep asking me if it is ok!!! That kind of statement just adds to my massive feeling of guilt. Anyway, one thing I have learned is that caring in-laws can be very helpful and I know (by the subtle purchase of a cot) that they plan to continue helping when the kid arrives. I miss having my Parents (and step parents) around to help, unfortunately they all live a long way away so don't have the option, so Penny is very lucky to have them living just around the corner (and so am I). I have no idea if they read this blog but...
Thanks John & Belinda
I am sure I can dig up an amusing photo of them when I get home, watch this space.

Actually I did not do any of the painting of the nursery. What I did was to fit a new front door - because the old one was warped and the wind came around the edges. It was rather an interesting project. The new door was thicker than the old one - so I had to route the door jamb so that the door would fit in the hole. The router does not cut right into the corners so I made a adaption to the router to let it cut right into the corner. And lots more besides - but I dont want to bore you all!!!

Ahhh... :D
I agree, it's wonderful to have family around. Last year we just moved closer to mine. Albeit they are 3 1/2 hours away but at least it's not across country any more. Sounds like you are VERY lucky indeed!
