Objectively, nothing good has come from Hurricane Florence's swath across the eastern seaboard. It did, however, offer us the chance to see our displaced friend Heather and her son Kaleb this evening. Selfish, yes, but still a welcome visit!

Day 177: OTR II
Tonight we drove down to Columbia to see something that, like Miles, is a spectacularly awesome thing made by a married couple -- Jay-Z and Beyoncé's OTR II. Miles was excited when I picked him up from daycare early and really enjoyed the car ride. Of course, once he realized we were leaving him with … Continue reading Day 177: OTR II
Day 175
Sunday Funday with Baby Hope and Jessica!
Day 173
Miles acquired a new friend today, the first that he'll be sharing his bed with each night. We've named him Harry Elafonte. We're calling it a "comfort object," because I am fundamentally opposed to the term "lovey" (I can barely TYPE that without throwing up in my mouth).
Day 168
For our last day in Colorado (and first full day together as a family since we got here!), we took a drive out to the Garden of the Gods, an impressive array of red rock formations in Colorado Springs. It took a while for us to find a parking spot, but we were finally … Continue reading Day 168
Day 167
An added bonus to simply being able to take a trip to a part of the country we've never seen before is that some of our closest friends live out there, too. Our trip to Denver gave us a chance to catch up with folks, meet some new people, and (most importantly) give them an … Continue reading Day 167
Day 161
Today, Jaclyn and Miles headed down to Rock Hill, SC to pick up a travel car seat from our friends Jacques and Madeline. As much as I would've liked to go with them, I'm still recovering from the last few days, so all I could do was say, "Drive safely," and see them on their … Continue reading Day 161
Day 153: Baby’s First Con!
Today, Jaclyn and I took Miles to Raleigh SuperCon. The event served as Jaclyn's first-ever convention last year, and as a frequent attendee of such things, I couldn't wait to also introduce my son to the celebrities, creators, and general people watching that a show like this brings with it. I've often thought about the … Continue reading Day 153: Baby’s First Con!
Day 120
Miles has now met Pooh Bear, and this video perfectly captures his reaction when meeting anyone new: 1) size up, 2) make whale noises, 3) touch, 4) attempt to devour.
Day 112: Daddy’s First Father’s Day
Today was day three of HeroesCon, the event that annually swallows a weekend of my life (and untold amounts of my income) whole despite almost every person I know relentlessly scheduling other critical social events the same weekend. I can't help that it falls on Father's Day weekend. I'm also not that into self-aggrandizing holidays, … Continue reading Day 112: Daddy’s First Father’s Day
