The Sick Baby Chronicle (4)

The good news is that our little one is all better! The bad news is that now I have a version of what she had. It’s a mild version, so no fever or anything. Really it’s only presentation in me is some pink eye. Which isn’t fun but should resolve quickly. The fun of having … More The Sick Baby Chronicle (4)

Those Faces

I need more pictures of my kids together. They make the workday mean something bigger.

The Sick Baby Chronicle (3)

Good news! Our little girl went the whole day without having a fever! Her other symptoms have also gotten much milder and her energy has really returned. Her nose is still pretty runny, which makes drinking formula a little tricky, but she can eat like a champ! It’s great to have her playing again as … More The Sick Baby Chronicle (3)

The Sick Baby Chronicle (2)

Today was a little harder to keep our tiny one entertained. Partly because she seemed a bit more worn out, even if she also seemed to feel better, but also due to the constant rain. Yesterday when the walls started to feel like they were closing in I was able to put her in her … More The Sick Baby Chronicle (2)

The Sick Baby Chronicle

Most of my day was spent looking after our little one. She was home sick from daycare, but still had plenty of energy to play. We spent the morning looking at little toys and reading books.

The Party

We had our little girl’s first birthday party today. Kind of. She woke up feeling cranky, and that isn’t really like her. Her eyes were a little puffy and she was slightly warm. Our poor little girl just wasn’t feeling her best. Still, after some playing and some resting she was in a good enough … More The Party

It is my bedtime. Almost. But I wanted to spread the good news of a mini party for my little one turning 1. The Mrs. and I just spent the last hour decorating our living room to be party central for the four of us. The party is of course more for us than for … More Party Prep

Love in the time of Corona (2)

Maybe I should start this out with what this post is not. No where in here will you find numbers or statistics about the spread of the virus. I’m mostly writing this to just give a slight taste of how we (my family and I) are doing here in Japan. First off, we are pretty … More Love in the time of Corona (2)

Today Is one of those tremendous day Where the most Difficult decision is Which book do I want to Start next. It’s taking all day. But I’m in no hurry.

Welcome to One

It was just over a year ago, around 11:30pm on March 3rd, when our daughter was born. I remember walking in the rain with my sleeping son in a stroller. We headed to the birth house desperate to make it one time. I made it just as she was crowning. It felt as if they … More Welcome to One
