Well, whomever said that parenting was an ever learning state of being hit the freakin’ nail on the head. Another little nugget of information concerning babies and their digestive systems has just acquired some real estate in my ever expanding parental brain. Here’s the situation: Sam has developed a little cough [...]

I know this post is long over due, but I figured I’d tell you about our Thanksgiving anyways, because we ended up in the hospital again!  Man, when it rains it pours!  I hadn’t been in a hospital in years, almost decades, and now it happens three times in a two month period!  So, with [...]

A little note today on my series of posts entitled “Sam’s Big Gift” (check out all of Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4).  It’s been a full four weeks since that adventurous day, and Melissa and I have thankfully not suffered any relapses.  We have also, to my great sadness , [...]

So it was my parents 41st wedding anniversary this year, and I know what you’re thinking: they haven’t killed each other yet?!?!?  Well, no, as a matter of fact, things are never better if you ask them!  And who could argue with that!  41 years!!! Let me type it out for you, just so you [...]

In continuing with finding fun and innovative websites, and by writing about them, thus giving them a whopping 6 additional hits a day , I stumbled upon another cool site: SomethingStore.com. Now I’m not sure how or if they make a profit from its operation, but the concept is pretty cool none-the-less. [...]

This weekend was your typical spring weekend in a typical suburb. The nice weather permitted us to work on the property, you know: cut the grass, plant some flowers, sweep the driveway, etc. Melissa and I try, but we simply can’t keep up with the crazy lady that lives in front of our [...]

On May 20th, Samuel turned 3 months old! Time is flying by! It seems like yesterday that we just got home from the hospital, with Sam fast asleep in his car seat placed on the kitchen table, while Melissa and I stared at him wondering just how much our lives had changed. It [...]

On May 13th, Melissa and I celebrated our 11 year anniversary! Yay! It’s an anniversary of sorts as we are not actually married, but just because we aren’t, doesn’t mean what we have and what we worked to building together doesn’t count! I know some people are more traditional an believe marriage [...]
