You know, it’s Father’s Day and even though the guys don’t talk about being dads until hour 3, I’m taking over the blog today.
The guys do talk about our ice skating trip, paper towels and toilet paper, pizza,

buying things from door-to-door salespeople, twitter games, SomaCow t-shirts, Other Peoples’ Podcasts, and more food.
But I’m writing this for Geoff so it’s all up to me.
You know, buying things for Geoff is difficult. This isn’t a “look at me” but just want a little sympathy :)
So what DO you get a man who buys what he wants as he wants it? He doesn’t need or want new technology. He doesn’t like getting media as presents so no DVDs, books, music etc.
Well, I got him a tree. It has meaning so hush. And I also wanted to put together a DVD for him of Rowan’s first year. I thought about doing this way back 6 or 8 months ago. I started saving the videos and putting them on my “My book”. I started going through them and, if they were good, put them in another folder. This may sound simple for some, but it seemed like every time I got a few minutes, something else came up!
I really wanted to do this on my own (put the video together) but was down to just throwing them all on a DVD unedited (about 2 hours of just raw footage) or talking to a friend for some help.
I have to thank Kelly (@peglegpug) and Jeff (@banankin) for all of their help! I mean besides doing the recording and then uploading them for them, they did this all! A video for Geoff of Rowan and her first year.
It would mean the world to us if you would look at it, share our happiness. It’s only a few minutes long. And thank you again Kelly and Jeff!
The video can be found here.
But finally, I’d like to thank Geoff, the father of my baby. Of course I wouldn’t be Rowan’s mom if if weren’t for Geoff. But I want to thank him. He supported me through a completely unmedicated labor. He was there for the two weeks prior when I was having contractions every day. He was by my side during the birth and after. He stayed up with me while I was trying to feed Rowan in those first few weeks and has continued to support my feeding her now. He worked harder and longer so I could cut my income to stay/work at home with Rowan (and still does). He shows Rowan everything he does from cooking, to swimming, to turning on and off the computer. He reads to her, he dances with her, he loves her. I could not have hoped for a better father for my child and I think you, Geoff, for being my baby daddy. I love you!
