Hey everyone, I dont know how many of you are reading these but I hope that alot of you are. I know that we move around quite a bit, so this is a good way to keep our family and friends all over the country up to date on whats been happening.
So far Tina has been doing a pretty good job of blogging it up. But I feel that I need to contribute once in a while too.
So here we are, still in Queen Creek, AZ. As you have already read, we are having a girl and naming her Sofia. I really wanted a son, someone who I can watch wrestling with, take to the comic book store, and teach about the subtle nuonces of 80's hair metal bands (GNR VS Motley Crue, Skid Row VS Poison, etc). Then I got to thinking, why cant I do all of these things with a daughter? The answer my friends is that I can. And I will. I do realize that she may very well turn out to be a "unique" little girl, but I have to have some kind of influence over her to save her from a childhood of museums, baking, classical music and art history (from Tina), boring! This kid is going to grow up appreciating a good Zombie movie as much as a artsy foreign film, a bowl of Count Chocula as much as foie gras and a WWF steel chair to the head as much as some PBS educational piece. I want my daughter to be a little like me, not afraid to be herself no matter what people think. Hopefully she wont turn out to be a drama class nerd! My biggest wish for her is that some day she will tell me how much fun her childhood was and that doing all of these unusual things with her Dad was the best time of her life.
I still have a few months to convince Tina that Axl is a good middle name... any help would be appreciated!

Nick,
After reading this blog, it made me feel reassured and confident. You are going to be such a great Dad, mentor and friend. Sofie is going to have such a fun filled childhood like the one you and I had. Memories filled with laughter and love!
I love you.
