Physically … Fat!

The pandemic has done a number on a lot of us. The first year of the Pandemic, when we were forced to stay home, it was easy for me to fall of the wagon. We drove through a lot of places and it seemed like we were having pizza more than usual. It didn't take … Continue reading Physically … Fat! →

Something’s Missing

With the nice weather I've had a chance to spend a lot of time outside. We've either walked around the neighborhood or played the with kids in the yard. The last couple times we've walked, I couldn't help but think that something was missing. I hear the usual sounds on our walks: Singing birdsBarking dogsKids … Continue reading Something’s Missing →

Memorable Memorial Day Weekend

I hope this blog finds you well rested after the holiday weekend. It was a relaxing weekend for us for the most part. We had lots of outside time and actually got to enjoy some family time. Andrew will be walking on his own and without any help VERY soon. He's taken some steps randomly … Continue reading Memorable Memorial Day Weekend →

Celebrating 52

Today is the 13th anniversary of my 39th birthday. Jack Benny said he was 39 for years and got away with it. For some reason, today I realized just how silly that is. I will certainly continue to lie about my being 39, as a homage to Jack, but I know I'm not fooling anyone. … Continue reading Celebrating 52 →

A Fun and Busy Weekend

To say this weekend was not a hectic one would be a lie. In all honesty, the entire month has been busy for Sam and me. Sam has been running back and forth to various doc appointments and helmet appointments, plus helping her folks out with her sister. Both of us are running on little … Continue reading A Fun and Busy Weekend →

Nice Day For A Birthday and a Half

Monday is usually my day for getting stuff done. I do laundry. I fold laundry. I load the dishwasher and run it. I pick up the living room and vacuum. I clean up the kitchen and clear the counters. None of that got done today. My day started with getting Andrew out of bed, fixing … Continue reading Nice Day For A Birthday and a Half →

It’s Just Around The Corner

Spring! I enjoy stupid puns. Every time someone says that spring is just around the corner, I think of the above picture! Despite having a big snow a few days ago, the temperatures are rising and the snow has pretty much melted away. We actually got over 60 degrees today! When I left to go … Continue reading It’s Just Around The Corner →

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 →

You Give Me Fever …

Been a crazy week here. Ella wasn't feeling all that great Monday night and then woke up Tuesday with a 104 temp. We began to alternate the Tylenol/Motrin every four hours and were told that if the fever continued on Wednesday to do a Tele-Med visit. Wednesday morning, the fever was still there, so we … Continue reading You Give Me Fever … →
