I am a very lucky man – I’ve got an amazing wife and am the father to three wonderful kids. Lylli was born on Halloween in 2008, Gracie was born November 2010 and although she only lived for 17 months, she will remain as much a part of this family as the rest of us, and Mickey Gray, our first son, was born in June of 2012. I’m not going to say that life has gone exactly as I would have wanted, but it is a good life and I am determined to make the best of it.



This blog is an attempt to document my quest to become a dad that my family can be proud of.

Our Home Has a Name


Last July we moved into our dream home on 10 acres.  We have an ever changing animal count, but today there is 2 horses, 6 chickens, 2 dogs, 2 indoor cats and 7 barn cats.  It's my goal to fix up the old barn and use part of our 6+ acre field to create a riding arena where we can ride and maybe someday have riding for kids with disabilities to honor Gracie.  Now, I just need to win the lottery and we'll be all set!!
