I'm a 33-year-old father and husband born and bred in Massachusetts. I have a beautiful son named Will, a gorgeous wife named MJ who is far too hot to have married me, a dog I love and two cats I put up with. I'm a smart-ass former newspaper reporter with a penchant for turning a phrase, who decided to go corporate and is now enjoying life as a content manager for a website.

This blog is not just another "daddy blog." Sure I write about my son, but these pages are a record of my life. I don't just highlight the fun milestones like first steps, I also chronicle the "other stuff." The fights, the torment and the doubt that inevitably come with being a husband and father. It's not always puppy dogs and rainbows, but it is very real. And often there is beauty in the sadness, redemption in the struggle.

Thank you for checking me out, giving me a try and sticking around for the journey. If you'd like to contact me you can email aaron_gouveia (at) yahoo (dot) com.

Behold the Irish Dancing Baby

Saturday mornings, before I leave for work, are reserved for Will and Daddy. More specifically, it is reserved for cranking up Irish music on the laptop and rocking out like the complete geeks that we are. So please excuse my singing voice and take in Will the Albino Irish Albino Dancing Baby in all of his glory. And pay close attention to the 50 second mark as Will has a little trouble.

Metallica is awful. They tried to pull of Whiskey in a Jar but failed miserably! I hate all metal. Irish music is the best stuff on Earth. That and country music. Deal with it as you will, but accept it as fact woman!

So cute. I like metal and hardcore myself but also enjoy some Irish music. And Metallica really is horrible, they are selfish, snobby assholes. Eck.
