Toy Story and Teaching

It's been over a week since my last day with my students and I didn't know how to share it with you.  If you remember from my previous post, I was not renewed for the following year and I haven't even told my students about it.

I decided that I would tell them on this day, but as soon as I arrived to school some students were asking me if what they heard was true.  I knew at that moment this was going to be a long day.

Why I Teach.

My little girl came to visit me one day.

I’ve been writing a post titled “The Overwhelmed Dad” for a while now and I keep putting it to the side, because I don’t want to sound like I’m being whiney about being a dad.  While I keep going back and forth with this post, I get ideas for other posts that I would like to write and then something like this happens to me.

Baby Number Two is On the Way, So Why am I Freaking Out!

Lately I have been writing about how my wife and I are expecting our second child in April and how our little girl is excited about having a new brother or sister (we're not finding out the sex of the baby), but while I am confident and all smiles on the outside, inside I am freaking the F*@k out.   

What's been going on with the Fandads?

It's been quite awhile since our last post, but we haven't forgotten about you.  Things have been a little busy on both our ends and we apologize for the lack of post.  So, let's get you updated on what's been going on.

I recently got a new job teaching and if you've been watching the news in Chicago you know what been going on with that.  I would like to give my opinion of the story, but that will have to wait for now.  There has been a new addition to my family: my older sister just had a baby girl and she is incredible. 

Now while I have been busy working in a school, Fandad Gil is busy himself with school. He is also going into the teaching profession, so who knows, maybe this will become a blog about being dads/teachers who are into comics, video games and movies, but I could be jumping the gun here.  As busy as we both are, we still are coming up with ideas to improve the site and build a community here with all you other Fandads out there.

Once place we have been active on is our Facebook page.  Have you liked our page lately? Recently we gave away a copy of Madden 13 for the 360 and will be coming up with more contest on there soon.  So keep checking our status updates, because you never know when a contest will pop up.  Also, I'm serious about having a group of Fandads run the Warrior Dash together next year. I'm looking into pricing to make a shirt that we can all wear while doing the dash.

I recently signed up for Loot Crate, which I'm pretty excited about, so be on the look out for a post on that as soon as my crate comes in.  I'm trying to work out something with them also, so if anything happens, we'll let you know. I also have been talking to other interesting companies and trying to get some cool stuff going on for our readers. Who knows what we'll giveaway next?

Lastly, we want to thank all of you who are active on the Facebook page and support us here on this page.  We really want to build a community with other like-minded dads and make this thing bigger than a website and facebook page.

Again, thank you for your support and we'll see you soon,

Victor & Gil
