So here's the thing. When your first child is 10 days late, you kind of expect that's how long your body gestates. I remember saying to Joel, "I have a friend whose first was 41+3 like Wesley and her second was only 40+3 so we better be ready a little early." Baby didn't know that was the plan.
When a baby is born, a dad is born. I became a father just over three years ago. Mr. Dude's arrival into the world changed my life in ways I had never anticipated.
This post was written a few days after my son was born. It’s being posted today (one year later) as a reminder to myself of the wonder and intense experience of childbirth. This is the day I became a father. This is the day that changed my life forever. This is the day I learned […]
Our little Easter Bunny arrived on Sunday afternoon. Wesley was 8 pounds 1 ounce and 21 inches long. He’s got a pair of proud parents and lots of extended family excited that he’s here. A more detailed and photo filled post with our birth story will be shared in the near future.

We bottled the beer this week. It was a process I’ve never taken part in before, but really enjoyed. We cleaned bottled, sanitized oxygen sealing caps, filled the bottles, etc. If the taste tests are any indications, it’s going to be amazing! Its smooth, dark and has a light coffee flavor. Now we just wait for the […]
I’m sure you have read the story behind Abigail’s surprise baby shower. In it I mentioned that we shared the name of our son. He’s due in March and we’ve been asked by people for months… “Boy or girl?” and “Have you picked out a name yet?” For the longest time we didn’t have the name picked out […]
