The Mice Will Play
It has become old hat to have Helena all to myself for several days or more. We always have an absolute blast and it’s always very easy. This past week however, while the “cat” was away for work there were three mice left to play instead of just the usual two. While I am super…
Read MoreIntroducing Callen
I guess you could say I’m a little late writing a blog about our wonderful little addition to the family. But those out there who are parents understand that it’s super hard to find the time to do anything. As if to reinforce that point Callen just had a blowout and I’m being called away. #thejoysofparenting
For those that don’t know, he was born on Father’s Day…
Read More12 hours of Christmas Eve
I wrote a little song about our rough christmas eve last night sung to the 12 days of Christmas tune. Merry Christmas everyone! 12 towels puked on 11 sets of sheets 10 times vomiting 9 gifts not wrapped 8 hours of crying 7 new shirts 6 loads of laundry 5 people skipped dinner 4 cries…
Read MoreSeptember 2010 Pictures Posted
We have been trying to only post pictures once a month, both for our sanity and the sanity of others, but we’ve had some unofficial complaints from sources who will remain nameless. All I can say is that we will try to upload more often. At this moment Helena is treating me to a now…
Read MoreGreat Birthday Weekend for CK
Last weekend was Christine’s birthday, as many of you may know, and she decided that a trip to the beach was in order since we could not remember the last time we had been (at least in New Hampshire). She picked an amazing day to go weatherwise. Not only was it a beautiful sunny day,…
Read MoreHappy Birthday Helena
One year ago today I was waking up from 4 hours of sleep (or what I would soon consider a great night’s sleep) as a new Dad. You were born at 1:04 am and I was exhausted but could not not wait to get back to the hospital to see you. It has been a…
Read MoreSnatching Defeat From the Jaws of Victory
Today couldn’t have been much worse (well, it probably could but I don’t even want to think about that). The great thing about being a parent though is you can still come home to a wonderful little person who can make anything better. Wives are pretty good at that too (well mine is). Today Helena…
Read MoreGo Go Go…
By all measures this is been one of our typical busy summers. It’s not much of a stretch to say that just about every weekend we have someone visiting us or we are going somewhere else. Between playing with Helena and all of our travels I am way behind on blog posts and uploading pictures…
Read More11 Months!!
Christine and I can hardly believe it, but Helena is less than 1 month from being a year old! That’s right almost a year old!!! She has certainly been keeping us busy lately, but in mostly fun ways. She is not yet walking but she’s a speed demon on all fours. One of her favorite…
Read MoreAlmost 11 Months…
Hard to believe we are into the 11th month. Not that I’m biased or anything but Helena is truly amazing. She has done so many amazing things in the last couple months. She’s crawing, waving, clapping, saying “momma” & “dadda”, eating everything in site, and now she’s pulling herself up and cruising along just about…
