Looking Back, Moving Forward.
As the leaves have mostly changed colors and begun to fall and summer slips away, it’s a reminder of how drastically our lives have changed since last year when Autumn came our way. A year ago today we took our comfortable life style, free evenings to ourselves and typical schedule and threw it out the…

Projectile Oatmeal, Toddler Eating Issues & Facebook’s Fate
First their was the fear of Jackson going potty in public without a diaper. Luckily I made it through that father test, however yesterday I faced another challenge I had been hoping would never come – a sick toddler. Surprisingly, Jackson has never really been that sick since he’s been home with us. There was…

A Little Train Accident..
I learned this morning that a toddler being potty trained does not dismiss the possibility of an accident. I have been fretting this day since the thought of myself becoming a stay at home dad entered my mind – the dreaded day Jackson has an accident in public. Today was that day. Each Wednesday morning…

Observations of my Toddler
I thought I’d write up a quick post on my observations of Jackson and his progression these last few months. Being a new father, I’m not sure who I should be comparing Jackson to. If he’s behind at his age, I guess I wouldn’t really know. I haven’t done that much extensive research on where…

Adam & Dave, This One’s for You.

Dinner with the Howell’s
One goal I have (well, more so a requirement depending on who you ask in the family) is that I will be cooking most most meals now for our family during the week. As in all reality, it’s only fair to Lindsey that after a long day of work she can come him to a…

Everyone Loves a Paci.
This post is a little late tonight, but I’m recovering from quite a weekend. After my last post, I suddenly came down with some sort of stomach bug and was up all night sick. Luckily for us I was at about 85% recovery on Saturday night and we were still able to make STOMP at…

Cleaning, not my strong suite.
I will say by starting, the house is picked up at the time of this writing. However, cleaning around the house truly is not my strong suite. It doesn’t help the fact that our dishwasher is broke. Don’t worry, this is a common circumstance at our apartment. Our washer works for a little bit, then…

AHA! I Think I’ve Got It!
Well, after yesterday of myself whining about what a lazy day I had, Jennifer from our LifeGroup at church saved the day today! Jennifer watches her own daughter Iris throughout the day as well as Wesley, who is the son of another couple from our group (Jared & Bethany). Once a week or so she…
