- 17 Days Old
I got the call today. The call that I had been waiting for all week. I knew it was coming soon. I guessed that it would come on Tuesday, but I had to wait until Thursday for the call. Wait… did I say call? I meant e-mail. Yes, most certainly e-mail.
Which call, er… e-mail would [...] - When You Dream
When you dream,
what do you dream about?
When you dream,
what do you dream about?
Do you dream about
music or mathematics
or planets too far for the eye?
Do you dream about
Jesus or quantum mechanics
or angels who sing lullabies? …
I don’t really have much to blog about today. Exciting, I know. Found this awesome photo I took of Bessie [...] - My Walk (and yours?)
The weirdest thing happened tonight. Kate and I were sitting on our couch watching the Olympics. Erin was slumped on my chest sound asleep. Kate suggested that I run out to Dairy Queen and get us something tasty. She didn’t have to twist my arm too far. I hopped in the Civic and ran down [...]
- Lessons Learned Vol. 1
The following list is what I have learned from my two week old daughter. It’s not an extensive list, but then again two weeks isn’t a very long time. It’s not like I could earn a degree in fatherhood in two weeks. Maybe if I took Fatherhood as an elective and only showed up to [...]
- Kickin’ It Up A Notch! BAM!
So, like a good husband I made dinner tonight. I’m never one to toot my own horn, but it was good. Real good. Simple as well. Here’s what happened…
Kate sent me to the store on my way home from work to get milk and soda (for us) and romaine lettuce (for the rabbit) and while [...] - Back To Work & Baseball
First day back to work since Erin was born. The work certainly had piled up in my absence. I even needed to work a little late - which normally is fine and a common reality of my profession, but tonight was not the night. Not only had I been away from Kate all day long [...]
- 8 Days Old
This sleepless vacation has come to an end. I go back to work tomorrow after a week and a half of parental bliss. It is going to be very difficult to leave Kate alone with Erin for 8 hours or so each day. I know she’ll be able to handle everything just fine, it’s just [...]
- 6 Days Old
Erin is 6 days old. It is simply a breathtaking and emotional experience to watch this tiny person - who is half of you and half of your wife - breathing her first breaths, hearing her first sounds, seeing her world. To watch her looking around. Not knowing how much she can see and knowing [...]

Much, much more to come… - Contractions!
The stork is near! Last night we went to the hospital as instructed by our doctor. We spent a fairly restless night in the hospital with contractions and general discomfort. This morning the doctor broke Kate’s water and now the contractions will be getting bigger and bigger as she progresses into the main stages of [...]
