Ordinarily I don’t much care for celebrity stuff and the only reality television that I watch are cooking shows and competitions. I didn’t even know what a Lady Gaga was until recently and other than the lessons a father can glean from Tiger Wood’s situation I truly could care less because it doesn’t impact my [...]

As we started thinking about what little man could be for Halloween this year we didn’t really have any preconceived notions, it just had to be something cool – as defined by me. The extent of last year’s costume was a onesie that said “this is my costume” because my wife was working and I’m [...]

One of my favorite movies of all times is Goodfellas. I was going through some pictures of our son from this weekend and his demeanor in the picture from yesterday’s Wordless Wednesday post reminded me of Tommy DeVito, Joe Pesci‘s character. The first thought that entered my mind was the scene from the movie where [...]

Nearly two weeks ago we went to a local mall to do some shopping. We have a family wedding we will be attending up in the northeast and both my wife and I are sorely in need of upgrading our wardrobes. I managed to sneak away earlier in the week to get fitted for a [...]

Yesterday my wife and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary without much fanfare. Aside from the day being in the middle of the week, she also had to work second shift.

Not a day goes by that little man doesn’t do something that cracks me up. As an example, everything these days is a phone. He especially loves it when he can get a hold of our home phone because it makes lots of booping and beeping noises. It seems that any toy he has in [...]

Recently, our little man hasn’t been terribly interested in participating when we go to his Gymboree class. When we first get there he just stands in the middle of the room like his feet are glued to the floor. After they run through their welcome song he’ll start to warm up to the rest of [...]

In about a month from now we will be packing our bags and heading up to Boston for a whirlwind trip to see my grandmother, go to a wedding and meet my close friends new son. Those are a lot of things to pack into a four day trip, but it will be good to see [...]

While we were on vacation last month we had the opportunity to visit with one of my wife’s friends that she has known since elementary school. After we had dinner and took some time to catch up, we all went outside to let the kids run around in their expansive back yard. Next to their [...]
