After reading (and nodding) Clint’s post on Dadventure about one of the bittersweet firsts he encountered in raising his daughter, it got me thinking of all our firsts with Gus; the first step, the first time he read a book by himself, the first time he didn’t hug us when we dropped him off at [...]

‘Tis the season to be jolly, to don that red sweater and to attend the company holiday party. Our Graco holiday party is slated for this Friday. Back in the day, Graco was located in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country-just one exit west on the PA Turnpike from where we are now. Back then, [...]
