Day to Day Baby Amazement
Last night, before bed, my daughter (3) turned to me and said: “Daddy – I really love you. You’re my favorite boy. And mommy is my favorite mommy of all, and Denali is my favorite brother of all and Claudi is my favorite sister of all.” You know, I’ve put a concerted effort, in these [...]
In responding to folks on our Google+ page and Facebook pages regarding breastfeeding, I just realized that I neglected to mention that for a second time, my wife was selected as a cover girl for the IBFAN Breastfeeding Calendar, this time for their 2013 calendar. She had made it on the cover of the 2011 [...]
“You make New Year’s resolutions. And you make them into the teeth of old resolutions which were different. Then you don’t keep your new resolutions and you tell yourself you are weak-willed.

I introduced my daughter to The Princess Bride last night, unbeknownst to my wife (who was out working late). She’s seen only the first 2/3 of the movie, just once.

I thought this a real nice touch when looking at photos of the new Church of Scientology of Inglewood, California – they’ve added a nice-looking nursery to the space, so that you can have someplace for your munchkins to go while you’re meeting folks at the Church. Also, the Church has it’s own tutoring center: [...]
As you may know, western Oregon is currently having near record-levels of flooding across much of the Willamette Valley – endangering both people as well as livestock in the area. Among those lending a heroic hand were area farm-owners Jared & Christine Anderson. Llama farms dot the Willamette and Yamhill Valley countryside, and the above [...]
Baby 365 Project 2.0, a set on Flickr. Seeing as both of my kids were born in the Internet Era, I figured it would be fun to keep track of both of their first years with a daily photo log in Flickr. It’s actually been easier than keeping a daily journal like my mom did [...]
Now that I’m accumulating a wealth of cute photos of my two kids, I figured I’d do a little page from 0-2 yrs old, comparing them by months. My son is pushing 11 months old, and my daughter is now a mighty Two-and-change! Click through for larger versions of the photos. Age Mackenzie Denali Newborn [...]
Watching the Subaru Get Fixed, originally uploaded by tadnkat. Interesting anecdote that just serves to show how passionate my girl is about the things around her: After picking my two-year-old from school the other day, I told her that before we go and pick up mommy from the Metro station, that we’re going to go [...]
