Silly (and Spooky) Kid Stuff

If you are a parent, you know that your children are always a good source of stories to share. Here are a few of mine from the past few days: Tea Party Gone Bad While Andrew took a nap recently, Ella and I were in the living room playing with her Disney Princess Barbie dolls. … Continue reading Silly (and Spooky) Kid Stuff →

Morning Miscellaneous

The anecdotes in the blog today are a hodge podge of things that really wouldn't work as a complete blog, so I thought I would just throw them together here in one. Please forgive the randomness ... Missed Milestone Somewhere over the last couple weeks, I neglected to mark a milestone. I would have never … Continue reading Morning Miscellaneous →

Proud Papa of a Papper

My son, Andrew, has had a hard time sleeping since he was born. We took him to an ENT and they found that he had laryngomalacia. A sleep study was ordered and it showed that the laryngomalacia was leading to sleep apnea (That's what the photo above is). This led to a minor surgery to … Continue reading Proud Papa of a Papper →

Breakfast Fun

For the most part, it was a normal morning. Andrew was up first, followed almost immediately by Ella. As I was getting them out of bed, Sam came home from work. Sam recapped her night at work with me and the kids were taking turns being in her arms. During this time we asked what … Continue reading Breakfast Fun →
