Making my kids hate me one post at a time.
A few nights ago, we had a very, very fussy baby on our hands. Nothing I did could make him happy. I picked him up, I put him down, I rocked him, I jiggled him, I patted his bottom, I talked to him, I sang to him. That one was probably a bad call. Finally, […]
I sincerely hope you can be pacified by some photos. I have never had so little time in my life. I want to write. I swear. But dear Lord. I had kinda forgotten how hard this baby stuff is. Plus last time I did it, I didn’t have a crazy 4-year-old to deal with too. […]

He’s starting to look more like a baby and less like some skinny, wrinkly old man alien. When I […]
Asher has, right now, just about the perfect situation for a 4-year-old little boy. He’s got the bragging rights of having become a big brother. Yet his baby brother doesn’t actually live with him and therefore doesn’t disrupt his life nor score much of his parental attention just yet. Ya just know he’s asking the […]
