So I've been married now 2 and a half years and a proud parent now for 7 months and I am very happy. But I'm sad to say that for more than half that time I've been away on these stupid tours. I guess I shouldn't say "stupid" but It has been a long run touring on this last record and it has come at a great cost to me personally, and I miss home a whole lot more than I let on. After we finish this European tour we will be home all summer. I get to be home For Jess and Zoe's Birthdays, and hopefully see Zoe's first steps and words. This whole thing having a child has changed my whole outlook on life. The only way I can describe it is that I feel like a totally different person. And being on the road so much I feel like a part of me is missing. This life playing in a band may seem like a dream to some and in some ways it is. But I am jealous now of people that get to wake up every morning in their own home and see their family every day. I'm gonna make the most of this summer and make every minute count.

:( They're so cute. I'm sorry you have to miss them so much, Deebo! I love seeing you guys but hope you have a good, refreshing summer and maybe get recharged a little before the fall tour.
Hey Derek, it's Jeanie. I'm so happy that you have a little family- they are beautiful! Congrats.
It's funny how life didn't really begin until you met them huh? That is how I feel too.
Your little girl looks just like you. I remember seeing ur baby pics back in the day.
Much love,
Jeanie
