It is one of those moments that a father will treasure forever. Ella has been watching Disney's The Princess and the Frog. She … Continue reading May I Have This Dance?
Time Well Spent
Sometimes, you have to MAKE time. That is what I did the last time my boss asked for all of our "time off requests." I chose one day a month and took it off to be sure that my wife and I get some "us" time. Last Friday, was the first of those days. By … Continue reading Time Well Spent

Walk into any daycare, kindergarten class, or home with toddlers and I can guarantee you will hear those phrases. If not those exact phrases, … Continue reading Share and Share Alike

Her Name Up In Lights – Sort Of
There is never a dull moment at our house! It was a weekend full of some really memorable moments. Saturday was a laid back kind of day. After dinner, I took the kids for a walk around the neighborhood. It was a bit warm and I was sweating pretty good afterwards. I knew that if … Continue reading Her Name Up In Lights – Sort Of
