5littleladies replied: Hey Rod!

Petra was one of my favorite bands in high school! What is your favorite album of theirs? Favorite song?

What (besides her birth) is your favorite memory involving Ashley?

How did you propose to your wife?

This website is the best!! Why did you and Dee Dee decide to start it?

TLCDad replied:
Hi Jennifer!

Petra was one of my favorite bands in high school! What is your favorite album of theirs? Favorite song? I liked all their albums, especially the early ones. I guess "Never Say Die" is one of my favorites, I really like the title song too. My all time favorite songs would be "It is Finished", "Fools Gold", "Never Say Die", "Everything that Hath Breath" and "No Doub't". Sorry couldn't just pick one

What (besides her birth) is your favorite memory involving Ashley? Theres so many. But when she first said "I Love You Daddy", which I made a post on here about, would have to be one of the most favorite.

How did you propose to your wife? It was Christmas. First I took her parents aside and ask for their blessing and then I did the traditional standing on one knee with and handed her the ring and asked her to marry me.

This website is the best!! Why did you and Dee Dee decide to start it? Thank you! When Dee Dee was pregnant with Joshua and with Ashley she would browse and post on other websites/forums. And I suggested that we design and develop our own parenting website. Thanks to you all, it has been wonderful!

A&A'smommy replied: Hey Rod!!!

I have to say you and Dee Dee are the perfect couple, you two are SOOO cute!!!

What is the best thing about owning your own business?

What are your hobbies?

What is your favorite thing about being a daddy?

redchief replied: Hello Rod,

Nice to meet you. I never even looked at the admins when we were playing 20 questions (way to go Kimberley!). This is the first parenting board I've ever posted to. It is something about the atmosphere you maintain here. Its.... Oh I don't know... healthier than others I've seen.

It is apparent that you guard your privacy as much as possible. When you and Dee Dee began talking about setting up a parenting board, what was your greatest concern?

You said you believe in love at first sight. Is that what happened between you and Dee Dee?

TLCDad replied:
Hi Jessica!

I have to say you and Dee Dee are the perfect couple, you two are SOOO cute!!! Aww, Thanks!

What is the best thing about owning your own business? Being able to spend time with Ashley

What are your hobbies? PC Gaming, RC, Biking, etc... Yes I am a big kid

What is your favorite thing about being a daddy? Everything! And being able to play like a kid again is fun Did I say I am a big kid?

Hello Ed!

Nice to meet you. I never even looked at the admins when we were playing 20 questions (way to go Kimberley!). This is the first parenting board I've ever posted to. It is something about the atmosphere you maintain here. Its.... Oh I don't know... healthier than others I've seen. Thank you!

It is apparent that you guard your privacy as much as possible. When you and Dee Dee began talking about setting up a parenting board, what was your greatest concern? Mainly the costs, etc of running it, especially for the long term

You said you believe in love at first sight. Is that what happened between you and Dee Dee? Sorta, but she has told me that I was different than the guys she usually dated, go figure... obviously I guess that was a good thing
