I’m not a big fan of how we feel the need as a society to label everyone and everything but I understand that’s human nature. This whole helicopter parenting thing may well be a “real thing”, let’s assume it is. Here’s my thing, some people may see me at the park with Sammy and … [Read more...]
The Path
I see you there, growing up in front of my eyes. I see that you are more willing to let go of my hand and do things on your own. I see you being brave and walking the path on your own. I see you, day by day, becoming the person you are destined to be. I want you to know that I’m … [Read more...]

Veterans Day, Sammy, and Paso Robles
I decided to take Sammy to the Paso Robles Downtown Park this morning to let him run around. We were greeted with dozens of American flags due to today being Veterans Day. Below are some photos from our time in the park but some highlights were: … [Read more...]
Sammy Turns Two
Hard to believe. Sammy, who was just born yesterday, turned two on October 12th. Okay, I know he wasnâ??t born yesterdayâ?¦obviously, but wow have these first couple of years flown by. As the saying goes, the days go by slow and the years go by fast (or something like that). … [Read more...]
