Family
Heartfelt updates about family milestones and everyday moments. From taking Mazie to college and annual visits to the Renaissance Festival to Swedish‑pancake breakfasts and VR outings with the kids, this category celebrates togetherness.
At Tyler’s school program. Brought Canon 5D. No memory card. 😬
Mazie and I just beat Super Mario World! Take that Bowser!
Trying to explain to Mazie what a cassette tape was. Makes no sense to her.
I'm a boy and I'm three.
When Tyler came down from his room this morning I gave him a big hug and wished him a very, very happy birthday. He replied to me that “I’m a boy and I’m three.” Indeed Tyler, indeed. Tyler had a great day today. He had preschool and got to bring cupcakes for the other kids. He loves preschool. I ducked out of work early and we all met for a dinner of his choosing at Yum!. Tyler picked a big bowl of mac-n-cheese as always, and an even bigger cookie to celebrate his birthday.
We finished the day with presents at home and the whole family watching Misty Island Rescue, his favorite Thomas movie.
I asked him before bed if he had a great birthday he he said “Yes Dad.” How great to be three!
Took Tyler’s crib apart today. Big boy bed time. Wish me luck. I’m gonna need it.
Is it a guarantee that you’re a terrible parent if you wish there was a lock on the hallway side if your kids bedroom door?
Mazie’s sleepover with two friends just ended. They went to sleep after 1am and were up at 7am. Let meltdowns begin! 😊

Visiting National Eagle Center
While in Wabasha for the weekend we spent the morning at the National Eagle Center.
Mazie and I also attended one of their workshops and learned a lot about the Bald Eagles and got to see one of them have lunch.
Definitely a fun place to stop in Wabasha on your next trip!
Yum! was out of the “mini” chocolate chip cookies so Tyler had to get a full size one. He didn’t seem to mind! I’m pretty sure it was bigger than his head.
And to answer the obvious question? He ate it all, minus a couple of bites he shared with Dad!
Tyler and I watching the race cars at 24 Hours of Le Mans. Happy that I can watch it live on the web, even without english commentary.
The camera shots from inside the Audi R18 are amazing.
Great performance from Audi.
