Danielle and I might be crazy, but later this month we’re going to take Sean to the Big Apple — New York, NY. We’ve never been, unless you count riding the subway from Grand Central Station to the airport. We also figure now would be the time when Sean is at his most portable age.

Last week, I posted about the CSA Danielle and I belong to. For those of you who are curious, here’s a look at what we picked up yesterday:
Our adventures in summer eating continued this week with a trip to the strawberry fields. It amazes me that this island we live on is home to several [...]
One of the things we look forward to every summer is the local farmers’ market. This summer we took it one step further and signed up for a local CSA, which stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Basically, we purchased a ’share’ of the produce from Simmon’s Farm, which is right here on the island. At [...]
This week marks my first ‘opportunity’ to perform solo as the stay-at-home-parent (SAHP). (I just noticed that SAHP, if you sound it out, sounds just like ‘SAP.’ I wonder if that’s a coincidence. It’s better than stay-at-home-dad, or SAHD.) Danielle has a summer class that runs from 9-to-5 all week. It’s like she has a [...]
I can always tell when something’s bothering Danielle because she sighs a lot. One sigh might just be a sigh, but repeated sighs mean either (a) I have done something to irritate her or (b) someone else has done something to irritate her. For obvious reasons, I always hope for option (b).
When I asked what [...]
I try to keep my baby poop stories to a minimum. Even though I, being the father of a 5-month-old son, find the subject continuously hilarious, I realize other people may actually find it disgusting. That said, I can’t resist telling this one:
For the first several months of their lives, babies go number 2 [...]
Remember the story about AirTran removing a screaming child and her parents from a flight to Boston? I don’t know about you other parents out there, but that story terrified me, mainly because I didn’t know how Sean would behave on his first plane ride. I had horrible visions of headlines reading
Airline Makes Emergency Landing

Our years in the Navy have exposed us to our fair share of interesting neighbors. There was the guy in Navy housing who would haul our trash from our backyard to the curb every trash day and occasionally bring us a fish he’d speared from his kayak. Then there was the woman who lived with [...]
Do you have a digital camera? Do you store your pictures on your family computer? How about home movies? E-mails from your deployed spouse?
Now, do you keep a backup of the hard drive that stores all of it?
The other night I was watching a movie online via Netflix’s really cool Watch Instantly feature. In the [...]
Every once in a while something comes along in your life that makes you reevaluate things: how you spend your time, how you keep your house, your transportation, your budget….
After Sean was born we went through a honeymoon period where we seemed to have tons of extra cash. With a newborn in the house we [...]
