About Me


Name::ron st.amant
From::Toronto, Ontario, CA
I'm an American living in Canada because my wife made me...no, no it was my choice...see honey, I said it! In September of '05 we had our first child and the rollercoaster got even more scary. Oh and I'm probably coughing...or complaining about it.

Gracie's First Year!!!

Gracie's First Year!!!
Originally uploaded by AmericaninCanada.

What an amazing roller coaster ride this year has been.

One minute you think you know everything in the world, and the next minute they are handing you this little person and sending you off into the world...what no manual??

No.

It's just the two of you and this little bundle of coos and cries.

Some how the facade of big strong tough guy is shattered when you hold this tiny being in your arms and she starts to suck on your pinky.

There's the first time she smiles at you. The first time you make her laugh. The first time she gives you a kiss. The first time she calls you 'Dada'.

I wouldn't trade this year for all the gold in the world- when I look at my wife and daughter sitting on the floor together, reading a book or playing 'peeks' I'm just the richest man in the world.

Virginia Grace, I love more than you can ever know. You make your Daddy so incredibly happy.

Happy Birthday little bug...and watch out, the tickle monster is coming to get ya.

So sweet! Happy Birthday, Gracie!! I'll download the movie tomorrow. Wish I'd been on here Friday. If you hadn't noticed, I'm behind.
And meaning to answer your email about quality time for the ladies of the house. Sounds like you've got it under control.
We'll swap stories.

Such a sweet chick pea! Happy happy birthday!!! (She oughta meet Zilla's grandson. His birthday is today.)

Forget what they say. Time goes by really slowly. (Just telling ya that in case you were thinking it's all going by too fast.)
