After reading (and nodding) Clint’s post on Dadventure about one of the bittersweet firsts he encountered in raising his daughter, it got me thinking of all our firsts with Gus; the first step, the first time he read a book by himself, the first time he didn’t hug us when we dropped him off at [...]

I caught this entertaining post on DC Metro Moms, where Andrea writes about what she’s learned from raising three little boys. I’ve gleaned some similar insights raising one boy (not [...]

I thought I’d turn the blog over to Kelley again because I was fascinated by our last conversation- she was telling me all about her latest family vacation and it occurred to me that maybe you’re never too old to vacation together as a family. This gave me some hope to know if I establish [...]

A while back I mentioned Gus’ aversion to haircuts. I guess it has gotten to the point that he no longer can stand it. Just this morning before school he said “Uh…” (see, every statement in the eighth grade begins with “Uh…” or “Huh?” Articulate bunch) Anyway, he said “Uh…yeah…I think I’m ready for that [...]

With holidays over, and all vacation spent. It’s back to work, and back to school.

Remember that first haircut?
Might have been at home with the scissors or clippers, or maybe at one of those great shops that specialize in kids haircuts (I think haircut should be singular there because most kids styles look the same – a bowl cut) At any rate, their focus is on cutting kids hair. As [...]
