Finn is not too sure about this kid that he is forced to spend most of his days with. And certainly isn’t a fan of any physical touching initiated by said kid. But, dude – I just want to give you some love! Listening: Passion Pit
QUESTION: What do you get when you mix a loud-mouth momma, an industrious grandpa and an electrical engineer uncle? ANSWER: A very happy, spoiled-rotten 1 year old. It was around Christmas when I happened to, offhandedly, mention to Aunt Kylies that what the kid would really like is a board that had all kinds of [...]
WARNING DAD – you can just go ahead & skip this one. As soon as I knew I was pregnant – I knew I would attempt breastfeeding, because let’s face it – it is sooo the cool thing to do. However, I didn’t understand it, I wasn’t looking forward to it and frankly, I was [...]
I finally found something cuter than you. You, in a box. Listening: Anathallo

To great-grandpa for making the long trip out. To grandparents-Blase for gutter-cleaning (an unexpected bonus!). And to all of you for the general good-times-having. We sure are [...]
