Part 2 The Breaking Point It all came crashing down on an unsuspecting Thursday. Lucas had stayed up far too late the night before, tossing and turning in his crib, exhausted and too over- stimulated to sleep. Then he woke up too early (6am). Sleep begets sleep. But I was still in a good mood […]

An update after seeing a developmental specialist
After several failed titles for this post, I settled on something quite unimaginative. Last week, we went to see a developmental specialist regarding Lucas’ speech delay. It has been almost two months since our pediatrician told us that he was worried about Lucas’ lack of speech (to read all about that day, see this post) […]
Pride Month 2018
This year’s Pride marks my 10 year anniversary of coming out. Ten years ago, I never could have imagined my life as it is now. I didn’t know if I’d get married. Children seemed so out of my realm of possibilities. It’s rare that I really share some of these details, but I thought that […]
Harvests in September
These last days of summer have been busy with harvesting, gardening, pruning, house projects, canning, and baking. It wasn’t until my 5 and 3/4 month old son started crawling (um excuse me, WHAT?) that I had a moment of refection and awe over the last six months. In the last six months, I have become […]

The baby’s room is Harry Potter themed (surprise surprise) and so it was a natural choice for the shower as well. Normally, I man the camera the whole time, but I was very controlled and only […]
An introduction to our pregnancy journey…
My wife and I are pregnant! Thanks to modern medicine, some luck and prayers, we, a same sex couple, are pregnant. We have done the big announcement, which has been exciting, but overwhelming to be honest. After keeping something so big a secret for months, having it out in the open is still a funny […]
Insemination Day!
Today, we went to Seattle Reproductive Medicine for my very first IUI. Naturally, I woke up unnecessarily early and tried to call before any staff was in. Dayna had the morning off to be with me, so we hopped in the car and headed to Whole Foods for coffee and a distraction. From there I […]
