I’m a pretty even-keeled, mild-mannered type of person. It takes quite a lot to get me going. In fact, I can count on one hand how many times I’ve lost my temper in my life and when I think back to those times, it gives me the feeling inside like the feeling you get when

Zero One Infinity
I’m a nerd by trade. I’m proud of it. As a fun exercise, I put together a quick website at http://www.threeimportantnumbers.com. This sort of came from a long running “conversation” with a former co-worker about the only 3 important numbers in software engineering. Those 3 numbers are 0, 1, and infinity. The reasoning in short
Rumble In The Playground
When my wife picked up Julianna at school recently, she was given an “incident report”. That’s never good. Turns out that another kid came up to her while they were on the playground and started scratching her in the face. Apparently her fingernails weren’t trimmed and she managed to inflict some damage to my daughter’s
Farting Is Such Sweet Sorrow
In a previous post I talked about how difficult it was to not laugh sometimes when my girls say or do things that are funny. I live in a household dominated by females. The women in my life have different terms than I do for some of the most common human interactions. My daughters (both
Here’s The Poop
Poopy potty. That’s what we call it. We visit the poopy potty multiple times a day. We haven’t gone warm turkey just yet on the diapers but maybe we’re getting there. Julianna is definitely at the stage where she doesn’t like being in a dirty diaper. Accuracy. That is what we’re dealing with now. She
Speaking English Good
Julianna says things that are funny all the time and its really hard to not constantly laugh. Chloe has just recently started putting words together at a frightening rate. My wife and I decided on a kid-communication strategy “long” ago. We talk about everything with the girls. We are constantly describing things, asking them questions,
Belle With The Balls
Halloween is coming. What we are all dressing up as has become a central conversation piece in my house. In just a few weeks, it will be here. This is the first year that we really have to plan for Halloween. I’m actually pretty excited about most of it. Julianna is old enough now to
Good Things Come In 3s???
To 3 or not to 3? That is the question. I just don’t know what to do. My wife and I have 2 awesome daughters. They are naturally the greatest kids on the planet. We are extremely happy with them and are certainly blessed to have them. If I don’t have any more kids, I’d
You’ve Got A Friend In She
Sometime recently when I must not have been looking, my daughter went from being just sisters to also being friends. I don’t exactly know how it happened but it is really fun to watch. My younger daughter (Chloe) is almost 1.5 years old and my older daughter (Julianna) is almost 13 months older. They are
