These are just the big things, I am sure there are a lot of cute little stories that have and will fall through the cracks. Maybe coming back to writing will help fill in the gaps.
- Christmas
- Smuggler's Notch
- Skiing with JJ
- CO and UT
I'll leave with one quick story. Recently my parents took the kids to a Russian Children's Circus along with their cousin. After the circus the kids all spent the night at Nonna and PopPop's. LuLu had worn a skirt to the circus, her preferred garment for lower body wear (as opposed to pants). Well, I had packed a pair of cords and a long sleeve t-shirt for her to wear the next day. When Nonna tried to put the pants on, LuLu informed her, "I hate pants!" Since that day almost three weeks ago, the only pants that she has had on have been her long underwear and ski pants while we were in Vermont. I trust that this, too, shall pass.

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).
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
