Adults just don’t know about certain things like kids do. That’s why you’ll always do it wrong when you’re trying to do it yourself, even with a child’s careful and thorough instructions. Do your best, but know that your best will always be a failure. It’s cute if you look at it the right way, […]
I know we made a big deal out of the BatKid stuff last week, but you need the full story. So, here it is… Batkid from San Francisco Chronicle on Vimeo. If you don’t get somewhat emotional for this kid fighting cancer, you need to check yourself for a pulse. ““ Follow us on Facebook. […]
“You’re asking if I’m doing okay? Well… no one’s dead yet.” -Elizabeth Sometimes the state of things needs to be looked at from a really wide perspective.

He reached out, fumbling for something. I grabbed a toy and handed it to him and he said, “No, Daddy,” and took my hand. I’ve been working relentlessly. So, sadly, Family Time seems better measured with a stopwatch than a clock these days. It makes perfect sense that my littlest lad has been […]
