Hey all!

Well, I checked out the Chicago area stay at home dads group about a year ago, but I thought that my son Logan might be a little young to really participate in anything. I think that board has merged with this one. Anyway, It's definitely going to be a long cold winter so I thought I would try to get involved around here, say hello to everybody (local and non local!).

Here's a little background on us. My wife and I moved to Chicago about two and a half years ago for her career. I was going to finish school and work part time, while she started her new job. We found out a week later that we were expecting. Fast forward, and here we are with an amazing son, and we are still adjusting to the city life. We are in the Andersonville area, and are doing the "Mygym" and "Wiggleworms", but we hope to add a third activity for the long winter. On the lighter side of things, I'm a big scifi, comic, collector, vidgame geek. I figure that this will make me the "cool dad" until he's about 13, lol.

Anyhow, great to meet you guys!

Brian

Chicagodads still going on this site's local group section

Brian,

www.Chicagodads.com now redirects you to athomedad.org. We plan all of our playgroups and DNOs on the "local groups" area of this site. The city dads are under "Chicago Dads" and there are several suburban groups as well. Sign up!

We'll be at Holstein Park in Bucktown this Thursday morning. There are usually 6 or 8 dads that show up with kids from about 10-12:30am. Hope you can join us! I'll be there from about 10-11:15 this week with my 2YO.

Cheers,
Jim

Thanks for the welcome!

Thanks for the welcome! I probably won't be able to make it this week, as we have to change his schedule around a little, but in the next week or two, I look forward to meeting you guys!

Another day, another diaper. :)
