Entering the World

The only thing that baby enjoys more than emptying a laundry basket full of clean clothes is emptying one full of clean, folded clothes. Other recent delights: petting the dogs, tugging the dogs ears, crawling at warp speed, talking vociferously to no one in particular, playing with magazines and anything else made with paper, and practice walking with the assistance of couches, chairs, stools, laundry baskets, and mom and dad’s pant legs, with and without their foreknowledge.

Harold,

I didn't know how else to contact you. So I'm doing it via this blog.

My name is Hogan Hilling, husband to wife, Tina, and father to three boys, Grant (18), Wesley (16) and Matthew (12). And 15 year at-home dad veteran.

I’m co-writing a book with a mom, Jesse Rutherford. The tentative title is What Dads Want Moms To Know.

Jesse and I have already received some great input from many fathers and are looking for other fathers who would like to contribute their experiences and/or opinions on fatherhood. And more importantly share comments on what they would like moms to know. My email address is hilling1@cox.net - Subject: Proud Dads.

Here is your chance to voice your opinions and thoughts. Anonymously if you like.

Feel free to forward this message to other fathers in your social circle.

We have several publishers reviewing our proposal. One has already made us an offer. We hope to have this book available in the bookstores by summer of 2007.

I posted a brief bio at the end of this post.

Sincerely,

Hogan Hilling
