Our first weekend away from Lily.

8 Sep, 2010

Over Labor Day weekend, we had our first weekend away from Lily. It was two nights, and nearly two days, of just me and the wife with no baby and it was fun; weird but fun. As new parents, we get so use to carrying the diaper bag, pushing a stroller and doing all those […]

Legoland disappears from the Mall of America. But will return soon.

8 Sep, 2010

Legoland is one of the few stores at the Mall of America that has been there since the mall opened, which is why I was surprised to see no Legos in Legoland last time I visited. All that is left is a few support beams. The good news here is that they are building a […]

Children Are The Orgasm Of Life

6 Sep, 2010

Over the weekend, we were at the Mall of America when an advertisement for a new store made us take a double take. It said: “Children are the orgasm of life. Just like you did not know what an orgasm was before you had one, nature does not let you know how great children are […]

The joy of toilet paper.

2 Sep, 2010

Lily has recently found the joy of toilet paper. It’s soft, it’s within reaching range, easy to grab, and it just keeps coming the more and more we pull. Needless to say, all toilet paper has been removed from the holder and is up high where little hand’s can’t get. I sometimes wish that I […]

It’s hard to update the daddy blog when someone gets up at 4:30am.

31 Aug, 2010

You may have noticed that my posts have been few and far between lately. It seems that Lily has gotten into a habit of not wanting to go to bed easily, and then getting up at 4:30 in the morning. This leaves Dad taking care of Lily instead of perusing the internet and writing blog […]

Dear mosquitoes, stop biting my baby girl.

29 Aug, 2010

I love Minnesota, but the mosquitoes are no fun. Nearly every day my wife, baby girl and I go for a walk. And nearly every day, we get bit by mosquitoes. I joke that Lily has mosquitopox. The red bumps make me think of chickenpox, but lucky for us, they’re not. We’ve tried getting a clip-on […]

There are more than 450 foods available and over 60 of them come on a stick. Most of those are probably deep-fried as well. From deep-fried candy bars and cheeseburger sliders, to […]
