Liam’s Hand Surgery

A lot of people are asking about it, so I thought maybe I should just get it written down in one spot so I stop having to repeat myself. Liam’s hand surgery has been scheduled for April 28 at Children’s Hospital Boston. We were accepted to stay at the Yawkey Family Inn, a sort of [...]

There’s no place like home for the holidays

For Christmas, Shauna and I took Liam to Alabama to meet my side of the extended family. All of my living grandparents and most of my aunts and uncles (as well as both cousins) live within the state, so it was a great way to get to all of them at once. Even the ones [...]

Adventures in Parenthood: Vol. 1, Part 1

I always felt ill-prepared for parenthood. I only have one sibling and never really helped raise babies. What I knew about kids would fit into a thimble. Sure, I like kids. I get along great with nephews and neices. But was that enough?

The momentum I created of freaking out about birthdays got so bad that I've been referring to this birthday as my twenty-tenth every time anyone asked me how old I was. Today I am thirty. [...]

There’s no room for doubt

… it's a boy!

A Winner Is You

"Free is a very competitive price." That's been one of my catchphrases for a while now and rare are the occasions where it isn't true. This past week proved it in spades. I travel quite a bit for work and it's taken me all over the country, racking up frequent flyer miles left and right. [...]

An Idea So Bad, You Almost Don’t Believe It

Someone at Kellogg's thought it would be a really good idea to make these:

No, this isn't a parody. This is a real product. I think that Gabe at Penny Arcade put it best:
I just spent the first three years of my sons life trying to get him not to eat blocks, and now you're telling [...]
