About Me

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.

Will’s First Snow

First of all, I have no idea what I’m doing with video and You Tube. As a result, you have to crane your neck to the left as you watch this because I flipped the camera in the middle of taping and didn’t know how to correct it.

But enjoy this video of Will’s first experience with snow. If you’re bored, fast forward to the 1:50 mark where I accidentally hit him in the head with a snowball. Don’t call DSS, I threw it underhanded.

    I really needed a laugh and that was it!

    DSS will be there in the morning!

    He is so cute – and you are so bad!

    The whole thing was so funny, until you checked out MJ’s ass. Naughty Dad!!! You’re wife should be able to hit you in the balls for that! :)

  • Chelseadawg

    The snowball isn’t why I am calling DDS…how about on his back in the snow and no mittens?

  • DaddyFiles1

    Cape Cod Gal, no guy deserves to be hit in the balls. Especially for checking out some hot wife ass.

    Chelsea, if you think that’s bad you should’ve seen me just before the camera was turned on when I was dangling him naked off our deck! But seriously, he had a full snowsuit on and he did have mittens. We took off that one mitten so he could feel the snow.

    David cried like that when we first brought him swimming…he was tired and unsure…

    I still think he might need his ears checked…might explain his whiny behavior…is he sleeping better?

  • JEE

    LOL @ Cape Cod Gal…I’m glad someone said, it just wasn’t gonna be me, lol.

  • TheBear

    I can’t wait untill will’s like 9 and big enough to whip your ass for somthing like that. If I were you and wanted to keep that kind of thing up, I’d practice fighting dirty.

    Don’t let these other people tell you that checking out your wife’s ass is a bad thing! She’s your wife! You own that!! :P

    Will is just too stinkin cute. He really didn’t like the snow, huh?

  • Sarah+2girls

    Oh wow…a smiley showed up…I just meant to do this ( : P ) which is totally not creepy, but it take aways the space between the : and P and you get this pervy looking smiley…I did not know that and didn’t mean to do that! haha

  • Wow. He looked really… unhappy… for a while.

  • Yeah, I’m pretty sure he was hating you big time for that ;)
