Getting around to it… March 31, 2008

“Are these suppose to be capri pants?” I asked my wife innocently after I changed my daughter… the answer to that was a no… they were really cute on her though. My baby girl has moved into the next size of clothes, not because of her girth but because of her length… and Emma [...]

Sticking it to the man March 25, 2008

From the beginning I’ve wanted to make Emma’s baby food, because I don’t want to feed her processed food… I found out later Gerber makes an organic version with less preservatives… but I’m still going to make it. I asked for and received a food processor and the recipe book First Meals by Annabel Karmel [...]

A night out… with middle management. March 21, 2008

Jenn and I had our “date night” last night, I didn’t anticipate how excited I got after we dropped the girl off at Nana’s. Jenn planned on having some time to explain the check list of items and duties to Nana… and with my wife they were long and elaborate… unconsciously I made Jenn rush [...]

Date Night March 19, 2008

Jenn and I are going on our second “date night” without Emma since she was born. We are going to a Fort Wayne Komets hockey game, courtesy of Jenn’s work. Her work has a suite at the Memorial Coliseum, where the Komets play… and let me tell you, that’s the only way to watch hockey. [...]

Happy St. Patrick’s day! March 18, 2008

So instead of sitting at a pub in Columbus binge drinking Guinness, like I was last year. (Thank you for the update Rick!) I’m here arguing with a five year old why her stuffed bear can’t take home my ink pen even though it loves it the most… curses to St. Patrick’s day for not [...]

Sinus infection… and poopy diapers? March 12, 2008

Finally gotten over my sinus infection this past weekend… that I’ve had since the third week of January! My ear finally unplugged. I’ve never had the pleasure of experiencing a sinus infection before, losing the senses of taste, smell and hearing in one ear… I do have to say that I didn’t miss the sense [...]

Daylight savings time March 10, 2008

This morning was truly the first time I enjoyed daylight savings time. When I used to work for the Auto & RV magazine I had to leave the house a little after 6 in the morning, and drive 45 minutes one way. After a long winter it was always nice to see the sun coming [...]

Still the man of the house… March 5, 2008

With me being a stay at home dad and my wife bringing home the majority of our income (minus the $1 an hour I average watching my niece Anna), you would think that a lot of the at home roles would be reversed also… not so much, sure I have my share of chores during [...]

“Uncle Tony… there’s a problem.” March 3, 2008

Ahh… another thing to put on the check list: Make sure Annastasia flushes the toilet…
I watch my five year old niece Anna during the week. I have set up the spare bedroom for her to use during the day, and there is an attached bathroom that only she uses… so… this morning, Monday morning, I [...]

A product endorsement… at Wal-Mart? March 3, 2008

My wife Jenn and I were shopping at Wal-mart this weekend. Among other things we wanted to pick up some Baby Orajel, Emma hasn’t had any teeth come in yet, but the planner my wife is and the amount of drool Emma is producing it’s only a matter of time now. Just in the [...]
