Song Draft 2021 – Round 8 Pick – Jump, Jive an’ Wail!

With all the baby stuff happening here this week, I almost forgot to post my song draft pick! This is my 8th pick for the 2021 Song Draft. As we come down to the final three picks, I have found it more difficult to select my songs. This one wasn't even on my list of … Continue reading Song Draft 2021 – Round 8 Pick – Jump, Jive an’ Wail! →

He’s Here!

Our son made his entrance into the world this week! As you know, there were a few times that we actually thought he'd be arriving very early. Needless to say, there was a lot of stress. For the past three weeks, every time Sam had her OB/GYN appointment, I was ready with bags at the … Continue reading He’s Here! →

My List Keeps Growing

I wanted to do a quick blog about something that has been on my mind for the past couple days. My prayer list seems to get longer and longer each and every day. I can't even really blame it on the pandemic, although it certainly has played a part in it. As I scroll through … Continue reading My List Keeps Growing →

We’re Still Waiting …

I really thought that our baby was going to arrive this weekend. Nope. Sam worked Sunday night. I had the phone volume turned up, because I just knew that she was going to call to tell me she was in labor. Nope. Sam was sent home from work on Monday night because some patients no … Continue reading We’re Still Waiting … →

Alternative Cuss Words

I have mentioned the cartoon Bluey on here in the past. On the Bluey Facebook page a while back, they had a video of the dad (Bandit) using alternate expressions where swear words might be used. Exclamations like "Cheese and jam," "Beans on toast," and "Biscuits" are used in place of swear words. "Biscuits!" is … Continue reading Alternative Cuss Words →

Song Draft 2021 – Pick 7 – Love Runs Out

We are in the 7th round of the 2021 Song Draft and I'm throwing a curveball at you this round. If you've been following my choices up until now, they are all what many would consider to be "oldies." Almost all of them have a local (Michigan/Detroit) link to them. For this round, I have … Continue reading Song Draft 2021 – Pick 7 – Love Runs Out →

Times Have Changed

When I was in school, I remember how the fire alarm would scare the heck out of me! What made it worse was when you knew it was coming. "We're having a fire drill today, boys and girls..." So you'd be waiting for that loud alarm to happen at any time! Really, the alarm was … Continue reading Times Have Changed →

Busy Weekend

The "baby watch" was definitely on this weekend. A week ago Thursday Sam's doc thought she'd go into labor by that Sunday. This past Thursday, her blood pressure was high and she was told to rest. Her doc was on call last weekend, so he said to come to the hospital this weekend if "conditions … Continue reading Busy Weekend →

National Daughters Day 2021

I have been a father for almost 20 years now. It is a role that I do not take lightly. I have spent most of that time raising two amazing sons. Almost two years ago, I became a "Girl Dad" when my daughter was born. Raising a daughter is VERY different from raising sons. For … Continue reading National Daughters Day 2021 →
