No. They are not “I love you.” They are not, “I’m really a man.” They are not, “I will not be ignored.” They are not, “Freeze, this is the police.”
The scariest words ever are, “Mom, Dad, I’m pregnant,” as spoken by a teenaged girl.
At least those are the scariest words for [...]

As I’ve watched my two-year-old daughter transform into a three-year-old, the true nature of women has finally been revealed to me. Decades of prior research on the topic have been rendered moot. And as is the case with most enigmas, this revelation turns out to be quite elementary.
As young boys, sure we are exposed to [...]

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
And now faith, hope, [...]

“I’m trying to be sporty dad; I just can’t.”  ~ Lilly (my 5 year old daughter after I requested we not watch a princess show and maybe check out something a little more boy-ish.)When I got past the deadpan delivery, the absolutely brutal honesty, and the subtle yet fantastic humor of Lilly’s statement to me, [...]

Though I’ve lived in the Pacific and Mountain time zones for the last 12 years, my DNA is purely East Coast. I’m more than willing to be a Good Samaritan, but certainly not at the expense of my own convenience. As you can see from this photo, I’m sitting in LAX, staring at the gate [...]

We have a weird dynamic in the house. MRS handles pretty much everything: pays the bills, buys the girls’ clothes (well, organizes everything relative to the girls), does the laundry, cooks, travels a ton for work, puts up with my crap, and (aside from that special week that rolls around every month) is a damn [...]

As Father’s Day approaches, I’m forced to reflect on my own father and how different his experience as a father was than mine is now.
When my father fed a bottle to my first daughter, his first grandchild, he looked up and said, “You know, this is the first time I’ve ever fed a baby.â€? [...]

Now that spring is here there are plenty of things to do with the kids to keep them busy. But for those of you still looking for viable activities there is a hidden gem in Parker that you may not know about.
The Wildlife Experience is a great place to have fun with the kids [...]

No. They are not “I love you.â€? They are not, “I’m really a man.â€? They are not, “I will not be ignored.â€? They are not, “Freeze, this is the police.â€?
The scariest words ever are, “Mom, Dad, I’m pregnant,â€? as spoken by a teenaged girl.

When my daughter was three and a half, she developed a real “tude.” She seemed to transform from my delightful, lovely, vivacious, angel to an uncontrollable, defiant, demon-kid about every five minutes.
MRS and I debated the pros and cons of spanking, when demon-child was present. MRS says, no way, and drops “How Toâ€? books on [...]
