Hi everyone! My name's Scott, and I've currently got a daughter who's about to turn 2 in March... and another daughter on the way, arriving in early May or so. Yay! Last school year, I stayed at home with my little girl while my wife worked full time (she's a college professor). This year, I'm working full-time (as a freelance musician) while my wife stays home with our daughter. And starting in August, I'll be staying home (probably for the next 5 years at least) with both little girls.
To add a level of difficulty, very soon after we have baby girl #2, we'll be moving to a new state where we don't know anyone. So I'm doing a lot of thinking about how I can make this experience work for me: I absolutely love staying at home with the kids (had a great time last year), but am very nervous about having 2 to deal with instead of 1, and even more nervous about leaving my current community behind (we live in Madison, Wisconsin) and moving to a brand new community. We're moving to the Western part of Virginia, a lovely but tiny town of about 3,000 people in the middle of the Appalachians. I'm very excited to move, but nervous too.
Anyway, just thought I'd tell you a bit about my situation, and hope to get to know you better in the near future!
