A Two-riffic Birthday!

Yesterday, I blogged about it being Ella's last night as a one year old. Today (2-10) she officially turned two! On one of the Facebook "dad" groups I am a part of, someone posted that "Time is a thief." That is so true. I am still scratching my head and wondering how she could be … Continue reading A Two-riffic Birthday! →

The Last Year Has Been One-derful

When I get home in the morning, my little girl will be two years old. My wife probably didn't intend on making me cry, but she sent me a picture of her sleeping in her crib with the message "Last picture as a 1 year old," but she did. I wish I had taken the … Continue reading The Last Year Has Been One-derful →

Mixed Emotions

If I had to describe today with emoji's, I'd need a lot of them! Exhaustion - Tuesdays are always difficult. I get very little sleep before having to come into work for the night. I do the best I can to nap when the kids are napping, but things just never seems to line up … Continue reading Mixed Emotions →

A Whole Lotta Happy

Some days I look at my blog notebook and wonder just what I will blog about. I have a few in my draft folder that are ready to be posted for some blog events that I am taking part in. Then I have a few that are bullet points and more like idea starters. Over … Continue reading A Whole Lotta Happy →

Close, But No Breakthrough … Yet

I wrote a fun blog already today, so now I need to get this down in writing before I lose it. In therapy the past few weeks I've been working through some pretty deep stuff. Death has been at the forefront of my mind lately, probably due to the many deaths that I have seen … Continue reading Close, But No Breakthrough … Yet →

Andrew Ok, I'm not going to lie, this is something that makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. Sam … Continue reading Silly Kid Stuff →

Shut up, Phil!

February 2nd. Groundhog Day. According to most statistics, the groundhog (Punxsutawney Phil) has been right about 36% to 39% of the time in regards to whether it will be an early spring or not. So today, in this short blog I present to you, the most accurate meme ever!

Challenger

I was a sophomore in high school 36 years ago. Space shuttle launches were nothing new to me, as they had done 24 launches since 1981. On January 28, 1986, the entire country watched as the first teacher (Christa McAuliffe) was on board. It was a Tuesday and it seemed like every classroom was watching … Continue reading Challenger →

Milestones

I was informed by WordPress that my blog is officially 4 years old this week. It's hard to believe that I have been blogging consistently for that long ... and that folks like you are still reading it. For that, I thank you! In two weeks, we will celebrate another milestone, as our daughter Ella … Continue reading Milestones →

Grief

I saw this twice on Facebook today and it really hit me. It is SO very true. I'm sure that collectively, you and I could easily add more true statements to this. I wish I knew who wrote it to give them proper credit. I am reposting it here, so I will always have it … Continue reading Grief →
