Sometimes I do something that just pleasantly surprises me when I come across it later (as opposed to the things where I later ask ‘why in the world did i do that?!’) In September, I took our air conditioners out of the windows. While one is small, the one for our downstairs is rather largeContinue reading “I’m sending this note…to the future!”

Feels like the first time
Remember your first? No, no, no. I don’t mean that. (Get your mind out of the gutter.) I mean many moons before that, when some of you picked up your first comic book to give it a read. Chances are that if you’re like me, it stuck and you’ve been reading them ever since. EveryoneContinue reading “Feels like the first time”
“We thought we had lost him”
It all happened a week ago today. I don’t think Meg or I have ever had moments as terrifying as the ones we experienced last week. I don’t know how more bluntly I could put it other than, we thought our little man had left us. For me, it was Friday night and I hadContinue reading ““We thought we had lost him””
For the love of Mo!
Storytime has pretty much become ritual in our house. Aside from dinnertime and bath time, it’s the other consistent that’s needed for a complete wrap-up of our day. We started very early reading to the little guy (in utero) and have carried it over practically every night since. In fact, we’re now at a pointContinue reading “For the love of Mo!”
First Father’s Day
It’s been a pretty cool first Father’s Day weekend. Yesterday, Meg and I took the little guy to a public market (sort of like a farmer’s market, but with additional things like crafts and other vendors alongside the farm stands). and since it’s held outside in the courtyard of a train station, we got toContinue reading “First Father’s Day”
Party in the dark
During those torrential storms two weeks ago, two things happened. The first, I proved my sometimes stupidity/overconfidence in a way that almost got us killed and secondly, we had a lot of fun as a family. When I went to go pick up the little guy after work, the rains had already begun picking up.Continue reading “Party in the dark”
Things I learned from my son – happy feet
Sometimes, my son will do something so innocuous and full of joy that I can’t help but stare at him and realize what a profound statement he has just made to me without even knowing it. Our little monkey LOVES to be barefoot. When we’re riding in the car, give it just a few minutesContinue reading “Things I learned from my son – happy feet”
A very late post about a first Mother’s Day
I must definitely be slipping in my old age, as it just dawned on me that I never jotted down a few notes from our very first Mother’s Day as parents. I admit that coming up with what to give my wife was difficult. When it comes to the holidays, I always feel like I’mContinue reading “A very late post about a first Mother’s Day”
Yes, I locked myself in my backseat
It was pouring rain yesterday, as in severe storm-type of pouring. So, with his little windbreaker hood over his head, I hurried the little guy out to the car in the morning as we headed out for the day. With the new car seat in place, especially with my tiny car, it takes a littleContinue reading “Yes, I locked myself in my backseat”
Puttin’ on the Ritz
It’s no secret that Meg and I love a Golden Age long before our own. As I’ve mentioned before, my sister-in-law always jokes that our little guy “won’t know what era he’s growing up in” when his parents are watching black and white movies and listening to music from the Big Band era. He’ll findContinue reading “Puttin’ on the Ritz”
