Tata Tony B

I did not know how to title this blog, Tata Tony B seemed most appropriate. Since this is Kate's baby book to chronicle her life I think it is important to include this story...

In May I met my biological father for the first time. When I was three years old my mom married the man who raised me, or who I call dad. I always knew that dad was not my biological father and I never really felt a need to ask too many questions or search for my biological father. Well fast forward to the birth of Kate and suddenly I have questions and want answers and have a strong yearning to know who my biological dad is. Maybe it was Kate's crazy curly hair that made people ask, 'where did that come from'? Well, whatever it was I am so glad I did! Kate now has another grandfather to add to the mix and he has been nothing but generous and loving to Kate, myself and Chris. I don't have the right words to express how happy I am that I met my biological father. It is one of the best decisions I have made and seeing Kate with her Tata confirms that I made the right choice for our family. Well Kate just adores her Tata! And the answer to where her curly hair came from?...Tata! I hope she also gets his awesome soccer skills...he was quite the player back in the day and still has some fancy footwork.

I apologize if there are many holes in this story, but when Kate gets older and reads this I can hopefully answer all of her questions. For now what is important is that my biological dad and her biological grandfather is in our lives. We are very happy. We know we are loved and supported by the entire family. Yes, my dad - the other Tony - was very supportive with my decision. Yes, I realize my life seems like a made for tv movie!

Another reason to add this story is that there will more stories and pictures with our newfound family members...here is a sneak preview!

We were invited by Tata Tony B and his wife, Elsa, to hang out with them in California this Labor Day weekend. We enjoyed the very cool 71 degrees by hanging outside, visiting a winery, and feeding the ducks. I tried taking pictures of Kate with her Tata but they both seemed to turn their head when the camera is on them...so for now he remains the mystery man.
