Be it blessing or curse, Father's Day weekend always brings with it the magic and exhaustion of HeroesCon. This year, with Miles finally aware enough to recognize both Spider-Man and Captain America, I was determined to spend Father's Day the way all fathers dream of -- forcing my hobbies and interests upon him in the … Continue reading Year 2, Day 111: Baby’s First HeroesCon!

Day 354: Baby’s First Valentine’s Day!
How do parents celebrate Valentine's Day when they want to go out to eat but don't have a babysitter (and also traffic from the upcoming NBA All-Star Weekend has made returning home virtually impossible)? You bring the kid to dinner (I mean, we love HIM too, right?)! Following an "accident" at daycare, Miles was dressed … Continue reading Day 354: Baby’s First Valentine’s Day!
Day 330
We moved into a house back in October, and yet there's still a lot of work to be done (primarily in "my" room, where the boxes have accumulated).

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
Day 77: Mother’s Day
This was Jaclyn's first Mother's Day as a mom (and, importantly, my first Mother's Day as a dad). In preparation, I spent about ten minutes looking at cards before I remembered I was supposed to be looking for one that said "wife" on it instead of "mother." I mean...right? Jaclyn isn't my mother, and I'm … Continue reading Day 77: Mother’s Day
