  • Random Leg Licking!!

    —

    in

    No idea why she started this, but in the car yesterday I looked back, and Bug was licking her leg!! Absolutely no idea why she started this or why she was doing it and fortunately she hasn’t repeated it.  She did however have no problem posing and repeating the action so I could snap a…

    Today is my son’s birthday.  I don’t get to see him or give him a birthday hug, for another three days, I’m hoping to get a phone call with him late, but he’s sick and its up to his mother and how he’s feeling if I get to. He is my first and only son. …

    One of my favorite things right now is watching Bug as she’s drawing. Something about how serious and intense her look is as she concentrates on the page just fills my heart. I love it!

  • Free Coloring Sheet–Abby’s Elephant

    —

    in

    Something new I’m playing with, to entertain Bug and I thought I’d share with the masses. When I found out we were going to have Bug, I wanted her to have a special nursery, so I set out, and on a whim one night, sat down and started designing jungle animals that I turned around…

  • Baby with a Vice Grip

    Okay, so recently my Bug has developed quite a talent; she’s become a human vice grip!!  Sure, when she was smaller, she’d grab my goatee if it was too long, or pull on my chest hair if I held her without a shirt on, but it was just a little baby reaching out and grabbing,…

    in

    One of the first logos I threw together when I started designing again was a freelance job that wasn’t even guaranteed it would be used.  Well its being used, and I’m happy and thankful for it, because I just enjoy the look of it, and hated for it to go to waste.   http://a%20href=

    I accidentally poked a hole in Abby’s float last time we went to the pool, hope she doesn’t mind me using the chance to selfishly self promote!

  • The Dad Chronicles – Baby’s First @#%&*!

    —

    in

    Aww…. what’s better than hearing your child first saying one of those magic four-letter words they’ve heard you say? Not knowing that what they’re doing is actually wrong, and saying it is the most embarrassing moment?  Fortunately, that hasn’t happened to me, and knock on wood it won’t, but I’ve seen it happen to people…

  • The Dad Chronicles – Spaghetti Hair

    —

    in

    Okay, this just might be with my kids in my home, but I have a feeling this isn’t isolated, so I throw this question out to you:  Why do kids want to put spaghetti in their hair and on top of their heads?!  At least for me, this seems to be the only food that…
