I was off today for Veterans' Day. Miles, however, went to daycare as usual. Throw in a vacation day for Jaclyn, and you get that oh-so-rare occurrence -- A DAY WITHOUT MILES. Yes, for one tight window of roughly eight hours, Jaclyn and I were able to live our lives as we did in days … Continue reading Year 2, Day 259

Year 2, Day 111: Baby’s First HeroesCon!
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!

We kept New Year's pretty low-key, but we did work with Miles on learning to use his chonky baby legs properly. As you can see, he loves it!
Day 190: Monday in the Park with Miles
Today was Miles's first Labor Day, and he spent it frolicking in a manner truly befitting a young, carefree lad, gallivanting around Frazier Park. He experienced grass for the first time... But the highlight, for him and us, was almost certainly swinging.
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
