Year 5, Day 161

Friday nights are for kicking a few drinks back over pizza with your main man.

Year 5, Day 160

Jaclyn is on a weekend trip to a (get this) silent yoga spa*, which means Miles and I deviated just a tad from his normal bedtime routine tonight and, instead of reading a story, opted to watch some monster truck videos. At one point, I wanted to acknowledge the actual people driving the trucks, since … Continue reading Year 5, Day 160 →

Year 4, Day 237

Jaclyn had to go out of town for work today, leaving Miles and I free to have a highly-anticipated "Guys' Night." After finishing his swim class, I asked him what he wanted for dinner -- fried shrimp or Bojangles. And yes, I asked this question knowing full-well what his response would be.* "Bogangles," he replied. … Continue reading Year 4, Day 237 →

Year 3, Day 199

Yes, Miles actually decided to try eating my face last night. What can I say -- the kid is hyped for the new football season!

Year 3, Day 138

Mommy: "Well I'm going out for a little bit. Make sure Miles goes potty and takes a nap." (Miles and Daddy watch Mommy drive away.) Daddy: "Time for popcorn and DuckTales."

Year 3, Day 127

When Miles emerged from the car after arriving home from daycare this afternoon, he immediately notified me that we would be taking a walk to the fire station. "Daddy!" he shouted. "Walk to fire station!" And, well, so we did.
