So last night, we finally had C-Man’s birthday party (we’d celebrated on his actual birthday when we were on vacation in Florida back in March). I was going through the hard drive this AM and realized that I’ve got quite a few AWESOME pics of the big man so I just had to share them! It’s been FAR too long since I’ve done a C-centric post!
As I mentioned, we took our yearly trip to Florida recently (HUGE thanks to Grandma & Pop for making this a possibility) and had an absolutely wonderful time. As you can imagine between… Continue reading
I started doing a yearly recap last year. During the past year, I’ve found myself referring to that post quite a few times so I figured I’d do it again this year. Got something you want me to cover in 2012? Drop me a line and I’ll see what I can do!

#10 – Thoughts At 35 No matter how hard I try, I continue to get older. On this “milestone” birthday I decided to jot down a few musings.
Today’s my 35th birthday. As folks tend to do on these “milestone” birthdays I find myself being a bit introspective today. I’ve been completely overwhelmed by the well wishes by my family, friends and co-workers. Fair warning… this is going to get a bit sappy.
This Lady's My Rock... Love You H
I’m 35 today… she’s 35 tomorrow. I’ve often said that I was put on this Earth one day before her cause I knew she was coming. She keeps me in check and provides everything that guy could ask for in a wife and a mother. Love you Baby… Continue reading
Holiday weekends are great and this past one was no exception. We were jam packed starting on Friday night when we got together to celebrate Gramp’s birthday (pics forthcoming). As you can tell from the photo here the kids really enjoyed their weekend and for once we were able to tire them out (3 nights in a row out WAY past their bedtime will do that I suppose).
Saturday was “get away day” as we traveled up to Put In Bay for the afternoon. We had some travel snafus as we’re prone to do, but the boys absolutely LOVED taking… Continue reading
Today’s the G-man’s 5th birthday! The kid simply doesn’t sleep these days so even though he went to bed at near 10:00 PM last night, he was up this AM at around 6:30. I figured I’d cut him some slack this morning cause hell… it’s his birthday! As it’s his 5th birthday, today also happens to be the anniversary of our first day as parents. To that end, I decided to put this quick list together of the top 10 things I’ve learned in my first 5 years as Super Dad.
In no particular order:
- Being a dad allows you… Continue reading
I’m sorry to say that I had to make a very unexpected and sad trip back to Indiana yesterday. Pip’s Mom who I will always remember as Swami lost her battle with cancer and passed away on Saturday morning.
I’m happy to say that there were literally hundreds of people there to celebrate this wonderful woman. Through the tears and laughter is became once again apparent to me just what a wonderful woman Claudia was. Hearing stories from people from all times in her life was an absolute treat. There was so much love in that room and it was… Continue reading
G got done with breakfast early this morning and went off to get ready for school. Mom went upstairs to get herself ready so Super Dad was left to contend with the C-man who wasn’t quite finished with his waffles (complete with powdered sugar).
I turned my back for a second (stupid move dad) and when I turned back around C had his plate (once again complete with powdered sugar) on his head. I tell you what… I love this boy but I think he’s destined for the short bus one of these days.
He was having such a great… Continue reading
Growing up we always had an artificial Christmas tree (my mom hated it when I called it “fake”). Part of the reason we had a fake tree was dad and I were both allergic to real ones. Each year right after Thanksgiving we’d go down in the basement and pull all the decorations out of the crawl space and within a couple of hours we’d have our home decorated for the holidays.
Now that I’ve got a family of my own decorating for the holidays has become a big deal. Not sure who gets more of a kick out of… Continue reading
While all children are different, there is one universal truth when it comes to being a parent… you’re going to change dirty diapers. If you think you’re going to get out of it you’re sorely mistaken. A’s with the boys for the majority of the week on her own so when it comes to the weekend I really do try and do my best to pitch in with diaper duty (and everything else).
So when I got out of bed to get the C-man last weekend it didn’t really surprise me to see that he had himself a dirty diaper…… Continue reading
