Eyes to See, Ears to Hear

This is an actual road sign in South Carolina.  I first saw this picture back when Bill was in office.  Got a kick out of it then, too.

This is an Asher typical.  There’s a couple of top-of-the-lung screams near the end that can bring a grown man to his knees.

Just set up a new photoblog where I’m going to try to put up a new pic of Asher everyday to document him growing.

Dealing with a crying baby is hard for me. In most problematic situations, I’m usually cool-headed and focused. Once Asher starts bawling and literally shrieking in my arms and nothing I do seems to help, frustration rushes in. Dana and I have discussed it and initially thought it was fueled by my [...]

My profession or area of expertise is not fatherhood. But, in just 48 short hours (wow, Asher’s 2 days old!) I’ve done some things that amaze me. Nothing profound or revolutionary in the way of parenting but simply amazing none-the-less.
Over the past two days, I’ve discovered how Asher likes his pacifier given to [...]

Got lots o pictures up!  Enjoy!
