Avery’s burps could make booger from the “Revenge of the Nerds” look like an amateur. I am so proud of her.

Milestone One: Within the past two days or so Avery has begun to bring her hands together in front of her body. It has been pretty neat to watch as she keeps trying to get them together. When she is unsuccessful, though, it looks more like she is doing the “robot” as her arms flail [...]

Colleen and I have begun to wonder whether Avery has roots within the canine family. She has begun licking everything. It is actually both gross and cute to watch. Her favorites – the blankets we lay on the carpet for her and Colleen’s shoulders and shirts. Next, I may have to teach her to fetch. [...]

We just booked our flight to New Jersey to see my family over the holidays. It will be Avery’s first trip in an airplane. Colleen and I both hope that it goes better than our drive down to Austin, Texas. Just a quick question … Do airlines charge extra when you check a child?

For all you dads out there who are responsible for the fixes around the home (like I am – though I do not always fix things correctly), this is for you. 360 Electrical is nothing short of the most brilliant innovation for electrical outlets since, well, the invention of electrical outlets.

I cannot wait to try this one out with Avery when she is older. You play the daddy, your daughter plays the mommy. You are going to sleep after a hard day’s work. Her job is to clean the house and cook you dinner. You lie down on the couch for a nap, but here [...]

Our conversation tetered on the verge of being weird, but still it was funny (well, at least if you were not in Genuine’s position). I’ll let you read for yourself: genuine: I actually superglued T.P. to my finger scott.g: [...]

This morning I was driving to work listening to a local radio station 96.5 The Buzz. I do not normally listen to this station, but I am glad I was today. I guess every Tuesday they do a bit called “I Need an Apology”. This morning they had a gentleman on the air who we [...]

On our drive back to Kansas City, we encountered a number of billboards promoting Emporia, Kansas touting “Eat Like a King – Sleep Like a Baby”. What amazed us is the lack of thought that was put into this tagline. “Eat Like a King” – that is fine, marketers and residents are free to express [...]

Last night was miserable and now I am sitting here with miss miserable herself. She is calm for now, watching a movie. How long that will last, I just do not know. Avery went to sleep quite easily last night according to Colleen, but I think that I ruined the sleep with the recommendation of [...]
