It’s never fun when your child is sick, but what a bad day to happen to my little guy. My oldest son, Michael, was invited to TWO birthday parties yesterday. Fortunately they were only 7 minutes apart and only overlapped by a half hour. SO we thought we would go to both. He was preparing […]
I hate to live down to stereotypes, but I totally did. My oldest son and I are going to TWO birthday parties today (while mommy and the baby visit with grandma). SO we had to bring two gifts. Unfortunately it fell to me to wrap them. Pictured: An 80’s sitcom prop They always joke on […]
Taking a slight break from blogging about kid stuff, today I thought I’d give you a slice of TANcast in text form. The three of us group message all the time and sometimes they’re worth sharing. Ok, that was not one of the ones worth sharing, but I only made you read that so you […]
Today was my first day back at my “day job” since James was born. Even though I actually quite enjoy what I do…it kinda sucked today. For the last week, I’ve been able to focus on just being a dad and a husband. Being able to spend all day with my boys was great. Watching […]
Being a parent isn’t easy. There’s the crying, diapers, temper tantrums, sickness, the cost of daycare…but NOTHING is harder than these… I dunno who designed these baby clothes snaps, but they suck. They’re very deceptive. When times are good, the baby is happy, and you’re not in a rush…they work fine. But as soon as […]
This is the first blog I’ve written after our newest son was born. Now I remember why I didn’t blog much when Michael was born. I was TIRED (and kinda busy). They say “sleep when the baby sleeps”…ok, but when does this little poop factory ever sleep?! Let’s look at last night… It’s 11:06pm and […]
Well, it finally happened. I’m one of those dads who drives around in a minivan. On Saturday, we bought ourselves a Honda Odyssey. Aw…c’mon. With a name like “Odyssey,” we couldn’t make it look any cooler? That’s more like it. So when my wife goes back to work, this will be the vehicle I’ll be […]
As you read this, my wife and I are in the hospital meeting our new son for the first time. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you his name, or weight or any of that stuff because as I type this we are sitting at home and my wife is still very pregnant. I’m writing this in […]
I’m about to be a father again. It’s very strange. It’s a different sort of feeling than becoming a father for the first time. I sort of know what to expect, but on the other hand it’s going to be such a different dynamic bringing a baby into the family with a child already here. […]
Well the house didn’t look as cool as I’d hoped. But my family and I certainly looked cute in our costumes… Special thanks to Geoff for taking these pictures. And it turned out the Surface was able to due it’s final duty. Add that to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride/movie audio loop I had […]
