Whoa quite a nice new set of pictures!

Kinda hard to believe that cute lil thing that I had when I met Zep is now....

*ahem* VERY grown up!

Okay, no one tell my mom that H has that tat. Gramma would KILL her for it! LOL

Schu, more pics, I can do. I'll try to get them up by Monday, kay? The wee girls are feeling more at home with us now and settling in nicely.

H isn't Zep's.

This is H with her dad at Christmas this past year:

well you produced a beautiful woman.....and I not saying this to be condescending but good on zep...takes a good man to take on someone elses kid..

hope that didnt sound bad...

her dad looks like quite a tall man

He, (JP), makes me look short Schu. Actually I think Zep is a smidge taller than I am also.

Great pix for sure............I still can't believe the ink.

*Note to H*..............................Welcome to the gang kiddo.

Zep was 6'2" but has shrunk to 6'1" due to back troubles.

JP was 6'2" when we were together, but he grew to 6'5" and I don't think he's shrunk...yet.

I guess I just like my guys tall. *wink*

As far as what you said about Zep, no worries there, Schu. It does take something special to take on someone else's kid. Not only that, but he never made trouble with JP and the two are friends. That sure made life easier for both H and I! Not having warring daddys was best for H.

As a Foster Parent myself, I'll vouch for THAT.

I guess I better include my two cents worth (leads nicely to my latest pic post as well). I'm one of those men that has 'taken on someone else's kid', well two of them actually

. I've been 'Father' to my Tabs and Jamey for over seventeen years the now, the biological father, ironically an American (from Wisconsin) having passed away when my girls were one and three. I arrived a year and a half later and we're still here!
Not general knowledge but time to share I suppose. Our relationship is the same as any father/daughter thing, love, hate, worry and often despair. My theory is that I've been spared potential problems due to being the only male present, hats off to those who manage to accomodate the real father as well as taking on children. It's not easy and it's not to be conisdered lightly I suppose.
One of the very first things Mrs Ogg ever said to me was that her children came first...my reply was that I intend to take on the whole package and simply be a 'father' and would like the freedom to try. It bugs me when I witness similar arrangments (my brother for example) and see that the Mother is all too dominant with the male not accepting full responsibility. I loathe the term 'step-father', I really do. if you intend to embark on a relationship that includes children then they should merit the same attention as the adult.
I guess the fundamental difference is that love is unconditional with your own child but has to be 'learnt' when in a relationship with someone else's. If you're lucky like me then the love grows until it's the most natural thing.

Tabatha has scanned a few old photos for her 'MySpace' page so it seems rather appropriate to post them the now.

My favourite 'School' photo from '95

and one fondly remembered autumn walk home from school, sniff

To think that Tabs is now 22, Jamey's 20 (and a Mum!) and Josh 14

ps: Beautiful pics of H
