Author: Father Chime
Hey everyone. My name is Grant Steward, and I am a dad. When I started this blog I was a new dad, but now I have 3, which is obviously why I haven't posted in awhile. My wife Rachel and I are lucky enough to be the parents to our son Grayson, who was born January 3rd, 2017, our daughter Spencer, who joined us June 15th, 2018, and our son Cameron, who was born June 16th, 2020. We reside in St. Louis, MO where Rachel is a high school science teacher and I am an elementary school counselor.
We have 3 rescue dogs named Bear, Taylor and Murphy (RIP Kimmie). Between the kids, pups and our professions, we have all kinds of stories and experiences, and I am excited to share my life with all of you. My goal behind this blog is to share all things dad…and our many other roles in life…I hope you enjoy.
