I’ve been wanting to do something like this since my first New Music Finds post. My new friend, Brad Ruggles, did something similar this week called Smoking Hot Music. When I saw his blog post pop up on the reader, I realized I had a nice draft ready to go and thought I would [...]

Andrea typically puts Jadyn to bed, but tonight I ended up doing it as Andrea has a friend from Denver in town. With all the chaos surrounding the last week or so, it has been hard to get back in a routine. Jadyn is no different and has a real hard time settling down [...]

I wanted to post these photos last night, but I was wicked tired. I hope you enjoy as I go to enjoy my own bed for the 2nd night in a row!

This post is part of Positive Post Tuesday.

As promised, below I’ve provided many of the cool stories that have developed out of this “side vacation” we took down in South Carolina. All stories start with my blog and twitter posts; both of which proved to be an invaluable means of delivering up-to-date news on our [...]

I caught this video on my point and shoot camera while out shopping for some things.  Andrea had been pushing it a little too much, so we got her a wheelchair.  Naturally, Andy and I jumped in the chair every time Andrea got up to look at something.  I did much better than Andy did [...]

Showing affection isn’t exactly my strongest quality. So you can imagine how it would be for me to show any kind of affection in a level 3 NNICU with Doctors and Nurses walking around and my baby boy looking like Radio Shack with 100 different wires coming out of him - it actually freaks [...]

I know what you’re all thinking - this dude has WAY too much time on his hands. Well, you’re right. There is only so much we can do with Ash in the hospital connected to 20 different wires and machines. I don’t do well in that kind of environment, so I try [...]
