SNAPSHOTS
Pretty self-explanatory. These are pictures. Sometimes they’ve got words and sentences and all that jazz, but they’re mainly posts of visually-driven stuff.
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 […]
Daddy Vader Says… Open Wide
Whatever mode of transportation you use to shuttle food into the cargo bay in your baby’s face station, we all have to admit that Yoda looked pretty good for a 900-year-old! Right??? And now that we all agree on that, let’s also all agree and admit that making a good tie fighter screech-roar is really […]
“Fixed” – Scrabble Scribble #2
You have to love how kids want to help. Even if you anti-love having to clean up messes or make repairs or pay for replacements or make lengthy explanations to neighbors or the fire department. Apparently most children are not concerned with the age-old expression “If it ain’t broke, why fix it?” And they […]
#FatBellyFriday ““ 27 Weeks
My wife is a beautiful person. So, when she allowed me to photograph her in a moment of… awesome, it took me by surprise. The only thing left to do was joining her in acting like a weirdo. Finn and his brother will be so proud of us. #FatBellyFriday ““ 27 Weeks Thank you for […]
Clouds – Scrabble Scribble #1 (a father and son collaboration)
I recently discovered some “urban art” my 4yo son made on the side of our house and posted a picture of the two graffitied characters. It sparked an idea. I’d like to think it’s me and my son, except he doesn’t look too thrilled. I’d always wanted to do a comic strip, so the […]
Daddy Vader Says… Bedtime
They’ll pay you compliments and pour on the affection. They’ll make promises or deals. They’ll even resort to tormented begging and pouty threats. When it’s bedtime, kids’ll try nearly anything for that precious five more minutes.* * “five more minutes” is defined here in the sense that children use it: until the child passes out […]
Parenterms: “Douchebaguette”
They exist. Douchebaguettes. The B word is rough, though. And the C word is just wall-to-wall taboo unless you’re Irish and referring to another man, in which case it can count as breathing with sound. When you have kids, there’s a mental censor that tends to go into play, even if you’re a d*mned total […]
#FatBellyFriday ““ 22 Weeks
Okay, fine. We missed last week. But that means you get an extra helping of belly blooming and we’re telling you the gender of our baby. Deal? This week really popped. Our doctor visit showed everything was in the right place and things are looking great. After all the earlier stuff, we’re still a little […]
Anatomy of a Sonogram
When we found out my wife was pregnant the first time we were just so excited that the idea of gender didn’t immediately come to mind. Several weeks in, for some reason, we thought we were having a girl. That thought persisted for a while. The moment we saw Finn’s little peepee on the teevee, […]
