Everyone thinks I’m crazy. Well… they pretty much did anyway, but now that I’m going to go the cloth diaper route, they actually come out and SAY I’m crazy! It’s okay – being crazy is kinda fun most of the time… But this begs the question of why do I have to defend my diapering […]
DAD’S LOG: Name Bracket-ology
Some people say that having a child is a big decision. I say naming the child is even bigger! Although there was time for me to think and reflect about names, I soon learned of my glaring deficiencies. You see, my wife had spent some “time” thinking about names too. If you call developing and […]

Rest Your Head Close to My Heart
Baby Mine, close your eyes… I held our baby boy last night, wooing him to sleep, amazed at the complete trust he had as I cradled him close to me – being held about 5 times his height above the floor, he lay in my arms, closed his eyes and drifted off to dreamland. I […]
