Did I make you grimace a bit? Those three words instantly set off certain emotions. From my perspective they are three subjects that people become very passionate about and often get overheated about. We all know what happens in a room of people when you start talking politics … [Read more...]
The Five Month Anniversary
Okay, it’s not really an anniversary I suppose but it is Sammy’s 5 month “birthday” if you will. It’s interesting when these things come up because we can look back and see how much he’s changed from month one to month two to now. Some of the changes I see now are: … [Read more...]
What’s More Important, Spouse or Child?

Change Is Knocking On Our Door
Annie and I, as usual, have been talking a lot recently but the talk has been different. Like many of you we talk a lot about goals, what we want to do with our lives, and so on but the unfortunate thing is that much of the time it seems or feels like it ends with the talk. After … [Read more...]

Sammy’s First Valentine’s Day
As you know, Sammy doesn’t care. Not because he doesn’t want to but he just doesn’t get it yet. He can’t even wipe his own butt so what can you expect? All that aside, my hope, our hope, is to teach this little dude that Holidays are great for what they represent but if you only … [Read more...]
A Note to the Parents
I came across this article this morning on Huffington Post online in the parenting section and thought it was interesting enough to share here. It also got me thinking about how we live our lives and what we are doing to make sure our kids live better lives than we did and that … [Read more...]
Back to the Grind
Here we go! Annie started back to work full time yesterday (Monday), which leaves Sammy having to contend with my crazy antics during the days. The company Annie works for has been awesome, they are letting her cycle back into work mode by working from home two days a week and … [Read more...]
