I have obviously been very much looking forward to this vote, if just for the historic aspect (though there was definitely more to my excitement than that).

Usher's interview about fatherhood in Essence

Usher sat down with actor and author Hill Harper to talk about the ups and downs of being married, the choices he's made, putting God first, and his ultimate purpose: being the best father he can be to his baby boy, Usher Raymond V.

Thanks! congrats on the little one by the way. What kind of things do you like to do? I know sometimes it is hard to find things with kids. Does your 3 yr old like the children's museum?

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the comment about the DFD Group Meeting this month. I had mentioned having the meeting this month at the IndyDads Office to Eric, but didn't hear back before needing to post the event. I'll change the event location and run future meeting dates by you to verify availability.

Chris, I tried to contact you through your dadsinc.org email address and it got bounced back. Basically, I like the mission of Dads Inc and am interested in learning more to see if I might be able to lend my time and help.

Glad to be here! My son is basically grown - soph. in college this fall - but perhaps I can contribute something.

We're in Emerson Trace, which is just south of Wildcat Run. New Bethel is niiice. Great-looking homes and still pretty reasonable. It'll be one place I look when we start house hunting (building?) in the fall.
