Unfidelity
Pregnancy is a sensitive time. A couple can fall even more deeply in love during the experience and yet there are factors that often come between the two people. There can be a profound closeness as well as an intense loneliness. Mistakes can be made in the spaces, those absences. Painful. Mistakes. Today, I’m here […]
Watching Dreams Unfold
It’s rare that you get to witness a sun go supernova or a dream born in someone’s eyes. Well, today is your lucky day, my friend. Enjoy. This toddler loves Freddie Mercury. And I can’t blame him. Someone give that kid some instruments and voice lessons. ““ Follow us on Facebook. The best way to […]
Our Baby Hiccups
My wife texted (cause that’s a word, right?) me this video from home yesterday. It all becomes so much more real when you see the heartbeat or watch them move. My little boy is bouncing around in there somewhere. He’s growing and developing. Most of the ultrasounds have had ample placenta covering his face, but […]
The Circle Closes in the Land of Nod
We moved the weekend before last and everything has changed. Especially us. When you live in places without children of your own, there is no permanence. Having kids, no matter where you reside, anchors you to time and place like nothing else. I saw the pregnancy stick read positive in one apartment. I watched my […]
The Apartment
One apartment. That’s where this took place. I can’t even believe it. And now we have another one of these joining us in December. Can love be divided into two? Or will it just multiply how much I can love… So much more to tell you, but I’m too tired to type. I will tell […]
Birthday Boy Version 4.0
Dear Finn, Tomorrow is your 4th birthday. You’ll be 126,182,881 seconds old and, as such, you deserve a prize for dealing with the stupidity of people older than you, listening more to me and your mom, and learning to have fun in the most obscure ways I’ve ever seen. You have grown these past twelve […]
The Year My Father Stayed Home with Me
This video was lost for about 15 years. I knew it existed but no matter how hard I searched, it seemed like I was imagining things. My father and I appeared on a local news program when I was a very young boy. Dad decided to leave behind his role as a radio DJ on […]
My Little Pony Toy Store Extortion
My son has said some real doozies to me in the heat of the moment. A couple of times, I’ve responded by asking him to clarify or revisit what he was saying, but this dad? NAILED IT. Check it out. Worth the watch through the end. Would you have caved? Tell us in the comments!
We Belong to Them
Simply titled “Tonight You Belong to Me (Cover) – Me and my 4 y.o.” and with ukulele in hand, this is quite simply my favorite rendition of this song. It really doesn’t get any better than this… You gotta watch out for the fireworks. You never know when they’ll hit. Even in the middle of […]
