so…last night, Sammy, after not taking a good nap all day, decided that 6:30 was going to be a good time to fall asleep for the night, instead of his normal 7:30-8:00 bebdtime.
he woke up at 3:45 am…
…and he’s still up…
…will he fall back to sleep?

Sammy is teething. He’ll just sit there, grinding the three […]

so…the guy that used to own our house before us was a BIG guy.
Now, I’m a big guy, but this guy was years of ignoring doctor’s orders big; this guy was break-my-house BIG!
you see, at some point, our house settled, and started to lean to “that” side (as opposed to “this” side — sorry […]

so…a very relaxing 4-day weekend is about to come to an end. All weekend we’ve been saying that “today feels like Sunday, but it’s only Friday,” unfortunately today feels like Sunday, and it’s actually Sunday.
Today we had Alisa and Jeff, Su and Jay, and Amber and her fiancee, Samantha, over for brunch. It was nice […]

so…I saw the most cutest, fucking thing ever this morning…
but, first, a little back story: Sammy has started the exponential-development stage of life. It feels like every day he crushes more and more milestones — he pulled himself up to standing six days ago and started cruising yesterday — gone are the days of getting […]

so…Saturday is The Game. I saw this commercial Wednesday morning while watching SportsCenter with Sammy, and trying to explain the logic behind the Red Sox spending $51.1M to just talk with Matsuzaka (he babbled something about “maybe they were lonely”).

Go Buckeyes!

so…Sammy is teething. Sammy has also been awake more than he’s been asleep during these early morning hours. Erika suffered through a few hours, he would sleep and then cry, sleep, cry, and around 5:45 I got up to try and get him to go back to sleep.
I opened the door to his room […]

so…Sammy loves to fall alseep while watching “Little Einsteins” — man, what ever happened to my staunch “no TV” feelings. This morning I put on the “Ring Around the Planet” episode. As much as he (read: I) likes the show, I can’t help but make comments:
[responding to one of the characters saying “Look! There are […]

so…just when I had started to make an effort to get a post up every day I go silent. Much going on and very little time to talk about it.
let’s see…
– I got a new job. After being unemployed and trying to live a stay-at-home dad’s life I’m now a 9-to-5er.
Well, an 8-to-6er as I […]

Happy Mother’s Day Erika! Thank you!
Happy Mother’s Day Mom! Thank you!
Happy Mother’s Day to all ther other moms in our life!
