Today, August 1, 2013 is our five year wedding anniversary. I donâ??t really look at these milestones as hugely momentous, but to some they are. Despite that, I love being married and love thinking back to the day we got married on the beach in Pismoâ?¦it was a pretty epic day of … [Read more...]
My Daily Race
Get as much completed before Sammy wakes upâ?¦thatâ??s my daily race. Iâ??ve always known being a stay at home parent is hard work. There are all the regular duties of being the one at home but on top of it you have a child (or children) that tend to run the show. So the minute … [Read more...]
4th of July: Liberty, It’s Our Middle Name
Iâ??m not kidding, Liberty is my middle name and itâ??s also Sammyâ??s middle name. The first Liberty in my family was in 1776 and his name was Liberty Browne. If my memory serves correctly it was his first name and as time went by it shifted to middle names in the … [Read more...]
Legacy: What Are We Really Passing on to Our Kids?
Having a child is still so surreal to me; even after almost 9 months I often look at him and wonder when his parents are coming to pick him up! There are more times though, when I look at him and see a very deep recognition and familiarity. It's those times that I truly reflect … [Read more...]
The Curveballs in Life
I wasnâ??t sure what I was going to write about today but suddenly a received a curveballâ?¦and those are always good for conversation. … [Read more...]
Good God You Talk A Lot
And by â??youâ? I mean almost all of us. We put everything under a microscope it seems and beat the hell out of it until we can have it make sense in our own minds. If we canâ??t properly label it and store it in our mental filing cabinet we freak out and at some point we give … [Read more...]
I’m Afraid to Cut Cable
Okay, “afraid” may be a strong word (although I don’t think it is) but Annie and I were chatting last night about life, money, Sammy, and all the other issues in the world. We’ve been headed in the direction of attempting to be more minimalistic for the past two or more years. I … [Read more...]
What A Difference 6 Months Make
Tomorrow, April 12th, 2013, Sammy will be 6 months old! Everybody told us to enjoy every minute because time flies, and they weren't joking! It's funny...when we were in the midst of no sleep, constant feedings, and unannounced projectile spit-up, time seemed to have stopped dead … [Read more...]
Sammy and the Six Hour Car Ride
They say life is an adventure, right? So why not put a 5 month old in a car for 6 hours and drive to Palm Springs? We successfully took Sammy to Monterey a month or so ago and that was a 2.5 hour car ride each way, in which he did amazing. So how hard could 6 hours be? The goal … [Read more...]
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...]
