What? No blog entry on Father’s Day? You’re a dad blogger for crying out loud! There’s a very simple reason I am blogging about Father’s Day today and not yesterday. I was too busy enjoying it. Father’s Day was an absolute delight for me. I got up and Meg had made a wonderful breakfast forContinue reading ““Father’s Day with Thomas the Tank Engine” OR “Sir Topham Hatt is very cross with you””

Sleeping kitties and spinning plates
Of all our three cats, nobody is the bundle of love that is our Jasper. While our other two have their moments of wanting some love, Jasper has been ever-consistent since the day he arrived and first curled into Meg’s lap and went to sleep on our front porch. Just as early upon his arrival,Continue reading “Sleeping kitties and spinning plates”
More tales from the backseat
I can’t help but share the tidbits and conversations that come out of our little guy during our drives in the car. Recently, we were driving along, some classical music playing on the radio, just the smallest amount of heat coming out of the car on a crisp, Fall day, when I heard coughing fromContinue reading “More tales from the backseat”
Dreaming in the dark
My eyes opened to darkness. Outside our window, the street lights brought some illumination to the pavement and yards below, but the thick, black darkness filled our home. I moved my head to the left, seeing the glowing red numbers of my alarm clock. Not quite 5 a.m. I was curled in an odd, notContinue reading “Dreaming in the dark”
“You a nice person”
Sometimes it doesn’t take much to make your day. And ever since becoming a dad, I’ve found that it’s often the smallest of gestures, of words that make it so. As a child’s ability to speak grows and their vocabulary expands, sometimes the words coming out don’t always make sense, or require the need forContinue reading ““You a nice person””
Going potty – the ultimate diversionary tactic
As I’ve probably mentioned before, we’ve been incredibly blessed that our little guy started to use the potty when he did, which was around Christmas time at about a year and a half. We were shocked, surprised, a little overwhelmed, but completely over the moon that he decided to guide himself and tell us thatContinue reading “Going potty – the ultimate diversionary tactic”
Three steps back
We were headed up the stairs last night, as is pretty much the course at that time of night, on our way to bathtime, when my son suddenly stopped several steps up. “No!” he said to me, his brow furrowed. “What is it, buddy?” I ask. “Dada, move!” “What do you mean, move?” “Move, dada!”Continue reading “Three steps back”
Stop worrying and enjoy your life
It’s an issue I’ve had for a while. The anxiety rooted in worry, in lack of control over things that we can not control but try to. It consumes my mind, my being and can often times keep my brain so focused on what I’m worried about and the million different outcomes of various situations,Continue reading “Stop worrying and enjoy your life”
Time to shake up the menu
So…I have high cholesterol. This isn’t an incredible shocker, as I’ve had high cholesterol most of my life. A few years ago I was told this after blood work and the doctor told me I needed to go on statins. Not being one for medication (or the side effects that go with it), I decidedContinue reading “Time to shake up the menu”
