Reflections on Family, Fatherhood, Loss & Grief
I never imagined I would be so picky about wipes. I doubt Sarah did either. But I am. I'm incredibly picky about wipes. I don't remember the brand of the ones we used at the hospital when Caleb was first born...but I liked those. Eventually we … [Continue reading]
I think it was a couple weeks ago that I looked over at Sadie, and thought to myself..."Oh yah...I have a DOG too!" Sarah does a better job with Sadie than I do, and I'll admit that between work, coming home, cleaning up, spending time with Caleb, … [Continue reading]
I want to recommend to you a wonderful post by Ashley-Anne Masters called "Diary of a Death Diva." This blog has been much more focused on the joys/frustrations of parenting and super-cute photos of Caleb recently, but there will always be the … [Continue reading]
Parenting is hard. Like. Really hard. I don't think you can ever fully have a grasp of what it is like...until it happens to you. And as I am sitting here tonight at 10:22pm, listening to Caleb start to slam his legs up and down in the crib, … [Continue reading]

I'm a few days late with this post, but Caleb turned 6 months old last week. It's pretty hard to believe. It seems like things are going by so quickly. He's now rolling across the floor...and can pretty much sit up on his own. I'm getting nervous and … [Continue reading]
Father's Day. Another day that is fun for lots of people, hit or miss for others, and has the potential to bring great sorrow to many others. This year I find myself in a very different place than last year on Father's Day. Being a dad to Caleb is … [Continue reading]
