Once again, it’s time to decorate the front yard for Halloween. The garage rafters were full of orange storage boxes, including last year’s monstrous Day-After-Halloween haul. Just getting everything out was a chore, but it was all worth it once the yard was complete. We easily have as many Halloween decorations as...

Aiden made his first trip to the dentist. Unfortunately, Chrissy and I were unable to take him ourselves, so Grandma took him for his first checkup. Aiden got the same hygienist that cleans my teeth, Mike, who is a real nice guy. He took good care of Aiden and there was no crying or complaining at all (from either of...

We could have gotten better tickets, but we waited for a bit until we could find out if Aiden would be interested in seeing it. Well, Aiden loves them, almost as much as...

There was a lawsuit in 2007 between the town and the father of a boy who died falling from a ride, so St. James decided to avoid that altogether. That lasted a...

Chrissy and I took Aiden and Gavin to the Taste of Chicago for our annual slice of Eli’s cheesecake on a stick, cheesy garlic bread and anything from Sweet Baby Ray’s. This was Gavin’s first trip to the Taste so far. We packed the boys into the double stroller and made our way through the lunchtime crowd on opening...

I turned 36 years old on Tuesday, June 2nd. Now before you start with your condolences, know that I’m perfectly happy with getting older. I was in a much better place at 26 than I was at 16, and I’m in a much better place now at 36 than I was at 26. That said, I’m looking forward to seeing 46. Time is my...
