Year 2, Day 207

Visiting the my parents in Myrtle Beach this weekend and it's immediately clear where their priorities lie.

Year 2, Day 182

Miles has met a lot of people in the year and a half he's been alive, but I always wonder how capable he is of remembering the people he doesn't see as frequently as, say, his daycare teachers or babysitter. Does he remember his grandparents? His aunts and uncles? Well Miles had his 18-month check-up … Continue reading Year 2, Day 182 →

Year 2, Day 174

We paid a visit to our buddy Jacques down in Rock Hill today, which gave Miles a chance to spent time with his pal Archer, who quickly educated him in the ways of dogs... ...and the Jedi.

Year 2, Day 110

The Farmers arrived in town last night, which meant two things: 1) George and I were going to HeroesCon together today and 2) Miles and Audrey would get to spend all sorts of adorable time together that neither of us would be present for. They even got our friends Lori and Garrett's kids in the … Continue reading Year 2, Day 110 →

Year 2, Day 36

In another life (and a now defunct travel blog), Jaclyn and I lived in Europe for a couple years. We've been back to visit a couple times since, but that's obviously been harder to entertain since Miles was born. Thankfully, our friends are still able to drop in on us from time to time. Today, … Continue reading Year 2, Day 36 →

Day 359

Coming to visit daddy at (evening) work!

Day 353

Wednesdays are usually the days I get to see Miles the least. The second of my weekly trivia shows falls on Wednesday night and requires me to drive about 30-40 minutes, trimming an ample portion from my evening. Typically, I get to see Miles at daycare pickup, spend time with him in the car driving … Continue reading Day 353 →

Day 281

One might consider concluding a trip that saw such misfortune as ours as quickly as possible, but we had one more stop to make on our way home. Instead of heading straight back to Charlotte, we traveled southeast towards our nation's capital to visit with my uncle, aunt, and cousin. Since Miles first joined us … Continue reading Day 281 →

Day 278: Baby’s First Funeral

The initial reason we came to Rochester this week was for a wedding, but fate can lead us in unexpected directions. Jaclyn's grandmother passed away on Thanksgiving, which suddenly meant that this trip was going to involve another, more somber family event. Miles is a relatively happy kid and he obviously had zero context for … Continue reading Day 278: Baby’s First Funeral →

Day 263

Today, Miles's daycare hosted a pre-Thanksgiving lunch for the kids and, most importantly, the parents. Never one to turn down a hearty meal, I eagerly left work at lunchtime to obtain food and see my son for a little bit. And Jaclyn came too, which gave us the unprecedented chance to blow Miles's mind at … Continue reading Day 263 →
