It’s a chee-kain kinda life
Charlie and I were at the store the other day, and she was so excited to see the blown-up Christmas decorations, like the Santa, and the Mickey Mouse yard displays. She yelled across the store to me, "They even have Mickey!" I thought, how sweet, because her excitement is special and these things will slowly… Continue reading It’s a chee-kain kinda life

It's inevitable that in order to sustain we must enjoy the moment, take snapshots in our minds and… Continue reading Tomorrow will come

I've taken most toys out of your room. You're taking it pretty hard. Here's the problem. You just... won't.... listen. I tell… Continue reading Maybe tyranny just this once
Never forget it
Thanksgiving... Christmas... New Years.... today. He's bigger, bolder and brighter than ever and I relish every moment spent with him. His face lights up a room, his smile reaches all corners of the space and he smells like cake batter. His big sister loves him. He eats, he sleeps, he's a really good baby. It… Continue reading Never forget it
She’s bright, she’s funny, she drives me crazy…
She's bright, she's funny, she's smart, she drives me crazy... My difficulty is the inconsistency....she's great, she's a good listener, she goes out of her way to do something nice for me or her brother.... like I was downstairs today and told Theo I had to take him upstairs to change his diaper. I get… Continue reading She’s bright, she’s funny, she drives me crazy…
