You probably figured we’d be halfway across the country by now, huh? Surprise! We are still in the same state we started, only eight hours North. We wanted to visit Bex’s side of the family for a few days. It's been a lot of fun. Of course I love spending time with family but I always look forward to a day in San Francisco. It’s on my list of Top 10 Favorite Cities in the world. Here’s…

We moved out of our apartment today. After weeks of packing, trashing, and cleaning, this was a really big deal for us.

Good bye and good luck! Maybe you remember me describing our apartment two years…

Yesterday morning was pretty Incredible. Boy Wonder and I were hanging out in the living room as usual. He was leaning against the wall and I was sitting on the couch. I called out to him, "Come here buddy!", never expecting that he actually would. But then he surprised us both by pushing off the wall and Frankensteining his way over to me. The look on both our faces said it all, "What did you…

When Your Secret Identity Becomes Your Only Identity

We Lost Our Identity To Parenting!Last night we got Boy Wonder to bed pretty early (seven-thirtyish), which left Bex and I a few hours to ourselves. The nights when this happens are few and far between. We operate on different schedules and wind up being home together only two nights a week. Now, you would think that we'd take advantage of this well deserved grown up time and you'd be right. We…

"Where does this go?" "I dunno. Stash it under the bed." "Quick, throw a quilt over that pile of junk. I've gotta go scrub the toilet!" This is what goes on in our house just before you arrive.Two adults running back and forth in a hurried panic while Boy Wonder sits in his playpen giggling at them. Of course, the joke is on him. As soon as he's old enough to walk, I'm putting a broom in his hand…
