I’m currently staring, bleary-eyed into the lights on the Christmas tree, letting my eyes relax until each light becomes a brilliant, pulsing, star-burst. It’s late… again. The last three nights I’ve worked late into the night, trying to finish a web design project. I’m on a steady diet of Pepsi, coffee and chocolate. It’s bound [...]

I just took a trip down a memory lane I have no memories of.
My grandma on my dad’s side is turning 90 in February, so I am putting together a special slideshow for her. I just received a bunch of photos from my uncle, and I spent half an hour pouring over them in [...]

This afternoon, Robin took Amalea with her to deliver food to some friends, and I stayed home with Maya. I haven’t spent a ton of time with Maya, so it is nice to be able to have some one on one time and just study her little face. So I snuggled into our rocking chair [...]

Being a father is the best job in the world. And I don’t just mean being the financial supporter of children you have fathered, but I mean putting your heart and soul into every second you have together and allowing your children to break you, literally, until you are nothing but one thing: daddy.

Robin and I have been going to marriage counseling for the past fours weeks. Well, we started the first two weeks going together, for couples counseling, and then the last two weeks we have gone individually. Our counselor decided it would be helpful to see us individually for a few weeks and then come back [...]

Last summer, Robin and I packed our things, said goodbye to Moorpark, CA, and moved to Portland, OR. It has been over a year since we moved… and I think I am finally ready to reflect on this journey. There are many roadblocks in front of me as I embark in painting this picture of [...]

I’m trying to remember the final week or so before Amalea was born, but all I can recollect is the drive to the hospital the day of. I remember not having a clue as to what it was going to be like after the baby was born. I remember walking into Labor and Delivery, and [...]

Days away.

There will, once again, be long nights

I will have ZERO free time
My heart will grow 3 times in size
There will be lot’s of crying (baby crying, momma crying, ami crying – maybe [...]

Being a parent is the strangest thing in the world.
It is also the most normal and elemental thing us humans (and the animals) do. If you are reading this, you have parents. Every human on this planet has parents.
Some are good. Some are bad. Some are horrible.
Some are alive. Some are dead.
Some live nearby. Some [...]
