Today Julianna turned 6. I’m not positive but I think I need to start thinking about her as a big girl now. This morning when she woke up, my wife and I went in to give her obnoxious birthday attention that feels “this” close to warranting eye-rolls. I sort of picked her up and held

The Human Condition
The human condition encompasses the unique features of being human. It can be described as the irreducible part of humanity that is inherent and not dependent on factors such as gender, race or class. – Wikipedia It is an odd thing recently.

The Beginning of the Next Beginning
7 years ago today I proposed to my wife. Now… Another next thing starts soon. There’s always a next thing but it sort of feels like we are approaching the end of the first in what we know will be a series of stories. Julianna is getting close to graduating from college preschool and it
Through The Looking Glass
Today Chloe Turns 4. The babies have left the building. They are all grown up. Get ready for the driving test. Gotta get my tuxedo on for the wedding. And so on. I feel old. When did my kids get so old? They walk, talk, and have attitudes (mostly good). They eat with utensils, drink

The Year That Was Too
Today, Chloe turns 2 years old. I can’t believe I have a 2 year old human being child daughter. For the last month or so, she has not been asking when she wakes up: “is today my birthday?” Why is that? Her sister did leading up to her birthday. We have been celebrating birthdays in
