Who is 3D
Welcome to Life in 3D; Daddy Day Dare (3D). Do you think you can handle two brand new little girls without any training or preparation? Well that’s how I felt. Through running in circles and trial and errors, sometimes you just have to laugh. So I fumble through this blog to share some experiences and get some help! Hopefully you can find this site entertaining, amusing, and maybe a reminder that we all share the same story. Its fun and surprising and more than a few times embarrassing.
Climb on and enjoy the ride!
That’s my crew above. They look innocent enough. My daughters are 3 and 5 years old. The girls enrich me and are the joy of my life. But it doesn’t mean it is always easy. That is what Daddy’s Day Dare is all about.
In Our Life In 3D I will tell you how I cope, share some hilarious things leaving these kid’s mouths in ‘DYLANisms’, talk personal finance to fund these girls education, eccentricities, as well as ideas on how to become a millionaire (I was a Financial Advisor), talk some fitness so I can maintain some energy to keep up with them, and hopefully offer some videos that illustrate my predicament. Wait and see what pranks they concoct for me next. Thanks for dropping in! And please offer any comments, ideas, or tips you have.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for the comment on my blog http://www.daddyohome.blogspot.com
Your girls are adorable. I like your blog, very entertaining, just signed up as a follower.
Thanks Jerome, I am learning as I go here. I am never too proud to take some pointers since you have a bit more experience! I signed up for your blog too and am looking at some of your links.
I was a restaurant manager for over 15 years. Thats what drew me to your site. How do you do it? The biz is very time consuming!
Hey BBA!
I’m happy that I found your blog here, the girls are very cute
Keep up with the updates, Mr. 3D!
Hi, I lefta comment on “Little Miss Everything” about being uncertain how to proceed in life (no job…passion for writing..but need job stability…wondering if I ought to pursue my interests in nutrition but fear it will lead me off my writing path; yet want to continue writing while having steady, great income). Email me if you think you have tips. I live in Canada by the way.
I love your blog, especially the Dylanisms. They’re hilarious! Looking forward to reading more here! So glad you found my blog, because it led me to yours. Thank you for taking the time to leave (much appreciated) thoughts there!
I am looking forward to your travels as well. Are you still in Rome? Tell us more…and more pics of your visit! Thanks for stopping by Karishma!
I’m still here in Rome and am leaving on Sunday the 8th of January to go back and back to work (ugh). I will definitely attempt to share more pics! After you mentioned it I realised how unfair it is to talk about the city and show such few pics. Stopping by was my pleasure…I had some great laughs!
Enjoy Rome then Karishma! I can’t imagine the food is too awful there either? come back and see us in 3D!

Thanks Pat for the great things you do and illuminating a wonderful organization trying to aid orphaned and abused kids. God bless you!
Hi Andy,
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am glad you have two girls as I seem to do much better with the raising of girls than boys so it will be easier for me to pass along what I know works….although, the older I get the more I come to know that I don’t know that much at all. With no guide book to lead us and each child’s personality different, it can be a crazy ride sometimes, this parenting thing. It as you know, however can also be unbelievably rewarding as well, which makes it all worth while….. I look forward to hearing and sharing experiences!
Thank you for stopping by my blog, too! PS – I *doubt* you could be any less savvy than I am on these kinds of things… you should’ve been there when I tried to figure out twitter! I still haven’t even attempted Google+, even though I am technically on it and it’s supposed to be great for blogging… er… Maybe when there are more hours in a day?
Nikki, I am so old school. I haven’t even started Tweeting yet. So you must be a head of me! Let me know when you find the days with more hours in them, I want some. Thanks for stopping by! Drop in anytime….I am learning as I go here.
Hi Andy,
How is your 2012 coming along?
I hope it is going well. Thanks for taking the time to comment and for following. I must say you blog is quite amazing. You’re daughters are very cute. They are also very lucky to have such a devoted and loving father as you. I’ll be sure follow off course. 
I hope your new resolutions goes well!
“加油!” (Go for it!)
Take care.
My 2012 has been inspiring so far. I found your site amazing too. I was really impressed by all your publications in all the various media. I am taking notes! Thanks for stopping by Ms. Jing! “加油!”
Hi Andy,
thank you so much for stopping by my place earlier and taking the time to hear a bit of my story and share your thoughts – it really means a lot.
Since I don’t want to spam your place (which I absolutely love and am now suscribing too – this does sound a bit less creepy than following, don’t you agree?), I’m going to keep this short (well relatively)
One last thing I’d like to add is, that you have a gorgeous family – my b.f. (who usually can’t be bothered with my blogging adventures) said he’s never seen a cuter picture than the one of you and your daughter swimming (and he’s right!)
Great running in to you here – thanks again,
K.
(Shhhhh, I am following several others as we speak. I’m hoping not to creep them out too!)
Thanks so much for your kind words on my family. My girls are so important right now. I hope we can stay in touch so you will know how special kids can be. I don’t think it coincidence that I ran into you here. Thanks for stopping in and subscribing! Good Luck to you!
Hey there! Thanks for the comment and finding me in the land o’ blogs. You have a great looking family. I look forward to learning about your world.
And I enjoy learning more about yours! You are doing an awesome job in your fitness drive! I wish I had that much drive. Keep up your great work…I am cheering for you. You may not hear it all the time but I am…
You’ve been search bombed. Check your stats!
Curse you Red Baron! : P I’ll get you back now….
I have nominated you for ‘The beautiful blogger award’. If you’re willing to play the game,check out the rules on my blog. If not, don’t feel any compulsion to follow through.
Take care!

Hello Andy
Thanks for visiting my blog and as a token of my sincere appreciation, kindly accept my gift for you here: http://allaboutlemon.com/le-cadeau/ Just simply because you’re one of a kind 3D and You Are Loved!
Enjoy!
Dolly
You have a lovely family!
Thanks for visiting! The name of your blog really caught my eye as I hit the big five oh this past year. I hope to ‘grace’ though it as well as you have. What are the secrets?
Great Blog! I really enjoyed reading! I hope I can learn from you to keep my blog going! Congratulations! http://terrytreks.wordpress.com/about-2/
Thanks for checking out my blog Terry. You’ve inspired me to add that Travel section this week when I get a chance. I LUV what youhave down with your Travel blog and hope to send lots of travellers your way.
I love the mermaid story! How fun! How exciting and cute to let your daughters imagination soar like that. I appreciate your stories on open adoption. We are so new to the process and it seems like God blesses us everyday with peace as we learn from people like you. Thank you for sharing your story and for this great blog.
You will have all those great stories too Heather. Did you take a look at the Dylanisms? Too cute! I didn’t realize when I first posted at your site that you had not completed your adoption yet, by way of your time line. You know, the period prior to that was so trying. We didn’t know what to expect. And I prayed so hard during our IVF’s, only to be disappointed, that I swore I would never pray again. Now, looking back I see it was all part of our journey and I can’t thank God enough. If we can ever be of any help to you or answer any questions please never hesitate to get in touch. It was not an easy journey but soooo worth the ride in the end.
Hi! I enjoy reading your entries. I look forward to hearing more about your crew:-) My kids are grown now and I must admit that I miss their growing up years.
Well then I do hope you drop by and offer me some tips or funny stories! I’m making a lot of this ‘parenting’ up as I go. Thanks fro dropping by. I look forward to seeing your ‘unique’ print in WordPress.
Had a chance to read some of your entries. What wonderful posts! Looking forward to following you!
Thank you Dr. Lynn! You’re a big inspiration!

Hello Mr. 3D,
Thanks so much for the recent blog follow. It has led me to your blog, which I am now following.
Your little girls are so cute. They are lucky to have such a wonderful Dad as you.
I look forward to reading more of your posts.
Happy blogging
Nancy
Great blog and good phrasing!
Hi Andy,
Would you be willing to participate in something we are doing for Susie Lindau on Friday morning? I am contacting as many of her followers as possible. My thought is that we all post on our own blogs on Friday with the same title, “Susie Strong”. The content would say something simple like, We are thinking of you. I haven’t known Susie for long but this blogging world is such a family. I thought it would be nice for her to see this message from as many of us as possible. Her husband is going to be updating us after her surgery. He can tell her or she can see it once she is up to it. Are you in? Thanks, Maria aka brickhousechick
I’m in! I was actually doing a post on the status of my cancer so Susan Strong will fit right in there! Great Idea!
Great! The title for mine will read, *Susie Strong*
Mine is ‘Desparately Strong Like Susan’
Hey there! Thank you for following my blog- I hope you’ll swing by again soon! Peace Mama!
I am glad I found your blog Mama! Its nice to know someone else goes through these things too. You too…don’t be a stranger and thanks for dropping by!
