This week, I turned my daughter into a mountain. I usually don't tap myself on the back for being a good dad. I'm usually happy with "My kids are alive, which means I'm doing something right." But every once in a while, I allow myself to think I'm not half-bad. This post is the exception, then. I promise it will be soon followed by an "I don't know what I'm doing" post.
Also on the blog this week, a fellow dad wrote a guest post with tips for relocating families (Tips for a Successful Relocation), and I wrote about my experience at the now-Halloween-ed Kings Dominion in Virginia. Spoiler: We had a great time, and got to hang with Brent from Designer Daddy and with his family (Kings Dominion Goes Halloween)

You can pre-order the book now on Amazon, which will guarantee the lowest price available between now and the release of the book. Do it!Podcasts
Two podcasts from blogging dads got some good news this week.
Congratulations to Josh from i simply am, whose new podcast has reached #13 on iTunes Top Self-Help Podcasts.

Henry's kids, like all kids, are amazing at playing hide and seek. Well, they're still better than my girl, who makes me count to 20 with my eyes closed, and then as soon as I open them, shouts, "Found you!"Previously on BloggerFather.com
Here's an old post that will never get old, Taking the Low Road. A mother got upset because of something that happened at school, and once her story made the papers, the Internet responded with its usual herd-mentality, always-go-for-negative reaction, pretending the nasty comments they left about the mother were meant to help her kid who was suffering from having an over-protective mom. You should read this. And now I'm angry again.Facebook Updates
