Jettie ran into the living room holding a poopy diaper. “Sissy poopoo, Sissy poopoo Mama and Daddy.” You have never seen a pregnant woman jump up and take off running so fast. Unsure of what I was running into, I was greeted at the door of Jettie’s room by two naked babies, one of which…

Less than 2 months after returning home from overseas, it happened! John and I took a couples trip to Houston with two of our really good friends, Kevin and Ally to go see one of our favorite artist. John had introduced me to Bob Schneider before I left to go overseas, and he was a…
Go To Bed!
I wrote a blog earlier about some of the tips that we use with sleep training. However, just like many things in parenting, something can be working great and then BOOM, your 2 year throws a wrench in it. It’s nights like last night that make me feel like I’m failing miserably as a parent….
Let’s Talk About Sex…
Sex is one of the biggest topics right now in our society and probably one of the most misunderstood. This first conversation between God and man involved our identity and it involved sex. Yet, growing up, I felt that the church shied away from the topic. The only conversation pertaining the issue was that sex…
Perspective
After hearing laughter and the ruffling of some sort of bag, I peaked over from the kitchen to find Jettie and the twins destroying a box of cereal. For a fleeting moment, I thought about rushing over, scolding Jettie, who obviously had initial custody of the cereal, and taking it away immediately. This instance made…
Plagiocephaly
I had only met one other kid that had to wear a helmet before I had one of my own. I couldn’t have even told you what it was for. At around 6 months old, the twins’ pediatrician recommended that we take them to a cranial specialist. While it is common for infants to develop…
Tips on Sleep Training…
When Jettie was born I had all of the preconceived notions about what kind of parent I was going to be. I knew there were things that were non-negotiable for me, and then I knew there were others that would be purely trial and error. One of our non-negotiables was sleep training. Sleep training. A…
Buttermilk Pie
It started out like any other Wednesday morning. We all ate pancakes, and then we gradually made our way back to the twins’ room where Erin and I watched Jettie pull Timothy up and down the hall in their little red wagon. When it was time for Timothy and Erin’s nap, Jettie gave them a…
EXPECTATIONS
Do you ever have that dream that you are standing in front of a crowded room naked, and no matter what you do you can’t seem to make yourself wake up? Me neither, but sometimes I imagine the feelings that I would feel in that dream are the same feelings that I feel everyday just…
The Toe Tourniquet
When we were finally able to bring the twins home from the hospital, I was a nervous wreck. Only 2 nights before they came home, Timothy began to DSAT so low that he turned blue. The doctors immediately put him back on oxygen, and he ended up coming home on O2. I can remember watching…
