“Pup”

I had a pretty nice weekend, I hope you did as well.  Right as I was about to leave for work this morning I heard my daughter cry, meaning she was awake.  Since my wife was still getting ready, I ran up the stairs to comfort my daughter and change her diaper.  When she was [...]

Sleep Update

Well, things were much better the night after the worst night of my life.  We went to an Arts Festival in town, leaving around 9:00 and on the way home my daughter fell asleep.  She was still sleeping when I left for work at 7:30 this morning.  That’s right, she slept through the night!.  Now [...]

Worst Night of My Life

I had the worst night of my life last night, no exaggeration. The time that could come close would have to be some night thatt in college where I drank too much, too fast and the world wouldn’t quit spinning and my insides kept trying to escape my body through my mouth. Last [...]

Mondayne

Like that post title? It’s a mix between Monday and Mundane. Pretty funny, huh? OK, not really, but I couldn’t think of anything else.
Thanks for all of your feedback on writing advice. I’ll compile all of you answers and post them when I get the chance, though a lot of them [...]

New Discoveries

I just realized I haven’t posted any pictures of my daughter from her birthday, so I will do that. But first a story.
I was mowing the lawn last night and my wife and daughter came out to visit me. My wife wanted to take over the mowing, and my daughter probably did too. [...]

Birthday

Well, my daughter’s first birthday party went well with a lot of her family visiting to celebrate, and her parents surviving the party and visit. It wound up being a nice time, though she was tired because she missed her nap. She was kinda reluctant with her cake, but she eventually did eat some [...]

Thanks and Birthday Update

Thanks everybody for the nice comments.  My daughter’s birthday wound up being a fun day.  We went to a class at the YMCA, rode the swings at the park, and opened one of her presents.  We are saving the rest for Saturday, when the family comes over for her party.
She was cracking me up today [...]

I Feel Wiggly

The good news is that my daughter (11 months old) slept through the night last night. The bad news is that she woke at 5:30 AM this morning, a full hour early, so we had to adjust our schedules a little this morning. I let my wife sleep for an extra half hour [...]
