Over the weekend, Sam and I took Ella and AJ to get Christmas pictures done. We scheduled them a few weeks ago. We had a few different outfits that we wanted to get their pictures in, but we weren't able to do more than one. We went back and forth as to whether or not … Continue reading Christmas “Cheese”

Do You Hear What She Hears?
Since having her ear tubes put in, my daughter's vocabulary grows daily! This morning when I woke up, she was counting to four! She is asking for foods by name now. I had forgotten just how amazing it is to witness. There is a set of train tracks that is maybe a quarter mile from … Continue reading Do You Hear What She Hears?
The Quiet/Loud Game
My daughter has a new "game" she plays with me. It makes me laugh and I love it. Ever since she had her tube surgery, she is talking up a storm! Sometimes she is at the opposite end of the room and will for no reason just start repeating, "Hi, Dada!" "Hi, Mama!" over and … Continue reading The Quiet/Loud Game
Gearing Up For The Holidays
I feel like I haven't really blogged about "life" lately. I kinda feel like I haven't really even had a minute to sit down and write. Between wacky schedules at work and an even wackier sleep schedule, writing has been a challenge. So here are some highlights from the past couple weeks.... Right after Halloween, … Continue reading Gearing Up For The Holidays
Back to the Grind …
Back to Work ... After three weeks off work, tonight I have to return to the grind. I was lucky to be able to take some time off to be with Sam and the kids. While showering yesterday, I realized that the time I'd be home was coming to an end. Sam joked that I … Continue reading Back to the Grind …

October is almost over already and the time is just flying! Since the birth of our son, we have been on the go nonstop and are longing for sleep. Trying to find time to write an update between diaper changes has certainly been a challenge! Ella is getting used to having a baby in the … Continue reading Been a Crazy 12 Days!
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!
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
Emotional Weekend Recap
It is taking all that is in me to write a blog today. I don't feel like writing. I'm numb today. All weekend long I struggled with whether or not to proceed with something. It is something that has weighed very heavy on my heart. It is something that comes with risks no matter what … Continue reading Emotional Weekend Recap
Tympanostomy Success!
Thursday we were up early and took Ella in for her surgery. She had her Tympanostomy (the fancy medical term for "tubes in the ears") done and it was a success. It was probably the fastest surgery I ever waited through! Sam got the call Wednesday night that the surgery was scheduled for 9:40 Thursday … Continue reading Tympanostomy Success!
