Happy Father’s Day
We’re pretty lucky to have this guy around. He tolerates the crazy, the emotional, and the compulsive and most of the time he does it with a smile (the other times he disappears into the office with the door closed). Understandable. Olivia and Miles are pretty awesome kids and I owe a lot of that […]

Summer of Awesome Update
Summer of Awesome is well under way and first on the list was a classic movie. Last summer, we unknowingly created a tradition of watching a classic movie after Olivia’s swim meets. We’re always dead exhausted and end up crashing on the couch. Normally, the kids whine and sulk if we put on anything other than The […]

Month 56, Version 2.0
Dear Miles, There was a time not so long ago that you were this little boy who couldn’t speak a word. You schlepped through the house, pointing and grunting to get the things you wanted/needed.

Dads Like Cards Too
In a time when everything is digital, I still appreciate the handwritten card. So much so, that I’ve kept roughly 90% of the cards I have received in my lifetime. The other 10% have been snatched and destroyed by the little folk who live with me.

Can’t Handle the Cuteness
I recently discovered Elise Vaughn and her shop, The Brass Razoo, on Instagram and she designs and hand sews(!) all of these adorably unique garments for girls. She’s a one woman show with limited inventory so her garments sell out fast and rightfully so. All I know is these pieces are doing nothing to quell […]

Month 80
Dear Olivia, My darling, it’s unfortunate that I must report that you’ve inherited the extreme sensitivity gene that runs rampant amongst the women on my side of the family. Yes, you will find yourself taking words out of context and yes, you will find yourself getting emotional for no good reason whatsoever. Take for instance the […]

Happy Birthday, Dad
