Our second child — a boy named Wyatt Paul — was born yesterday morning. Currently, everyone is doing very well and we’re still in the hospital as my wife recovers from surgery. My in-laws are staying at our house and watching our daughter. All things considered, it seems that this delivery went even smoother than… Continue reading The Son Also Rises

The View Gets Better
Two Thousand and Eight is finally winding down to a close. Sitting at my desk, staring out the office window overlooking the park. It’s hard for me to really recall all that has gone on in the past year or so that got me here. I remember being upset, frustrated — angry, even. A lot. However,… Continue reading The View Gets Better
Bumbo Safety Mod
So Angela sends me a quick e‑mail note regarding a recall of our favorite little kids foam seat, the Bumbo1. The recall is regarding the fact that several children have been injured (some quite seriously, I understand) toppling out of the seat. Well, little toddlers being squirmy and all, they tend to do that. Especially… Continue reading Bumbo Safety Mod
Baby Got Domain
Here’s a Yahoo! News article (via Lifehacker) about the increase in infants with their own domain names, many of whom won’t be used for anything other than a parked page for years. Per one parent “One of the criteria was, if we liked the name, the domain had to be available.” I can’t say that… Continue reading Baby Got Domain

July Has Thirty One Days
It’s been a long month that went by really quickly. However, I suspect in a couple of weeks I’ll be longing for the good ‘ole days of July ’07.

The Number Two Most Asked Question Right Now
When you discover you’re having a child, the first thing that everyone asks is “do you know if it’s a boy or a girl?” I know we do. Provided you have an answer to that question, other than “we’ve decided to not know the sex of the child,” the next question is always “do you… Continue reading The Number Two Most Asked Question Right Now
Five Fun Things Friday — Mid-June Edition
Okay, so this is turning out to be more of a bi-weekly thing than anything else. I don’t recall ever promising anything — as who would I promise it to? Five things that have been on my radar ‘o fun over the past couple of weeks: This is a great music video by a formerly-not-known-to-me Brit indie… Continue reading Five Fun Things Friday — Mid-June Edition
Five Fun Things: Week of May 10th
Here’s a list of Five Fun Things I’ve been enjoying lately, in no significant order (other than No. 1): Feeling our baby girl kick for the first time last Sunday morning. That was awesome. Super Paper Mario on the Wii – Not a very hard game, but loads of fun to play and very funny, too. Lost… Continue reading Five Fun Things: Week of May 10th
New Bugaboo for the Size Conscious
An interesting new product from Bugaboo called the Bee (yes, a baby stroller). I still prefer the Frog, as it’s more versatile. However, I keep reading complaints about the size of the other Bugaboos (as well as the cost, which is slightly more valid). Am I missing something, or is this still the same country… Continue reading New Bugaboo for the Size Conscious
