A whole different level of baby pictures

For anyone that’s followed my blog over the last year or so, it’s no surprise when I say I love taking pictures of our little guy. I doubt there’s a parent out there that doesn’t feel the same. And while the desire to capture every minor new moment is slowly dying down; I expect there …

All Casey, all the time

Wow, so being a parent is pretty full-on eh? I am pretty sure it was mentioned on the box in small print, but all that flashy “Miracle of Life” sloganese blinded me and I didn’t catch it. Don’t get me wrong, I frigin’ adore being a dad, and I didn’t fully understand what love was …

Casey’s First Week – A Retrospective

It’s challenging, but not as difficult as I built it up to be in the months/weeks leading up to Casey’s birth.

The benefit of having two close friends go through everything we’re about to, only six months ahead of us, is …

A baozi in the steamer

I may be a lot of things, but someone who can keep their mouth shut is not one of them. This blog is a testament to the fact that I am completely under-skilled in respecting the sanctity of privacy in my personal life. For years now I’ve blogged the smallest and largest moments of my …

That’s Uncle The Humanaught to you!

So as of some yet undisclosed time today I officially became an uncle! My sister gave birth to a whopping 9 lbs. 9 1/2 oz bouncing baby boy named Gabriel. I’ve yet to receive all the details, but was too excited to wait and post about it – I’m going to assume he’s got the …
