Congratulations to my cousin Chuck and his wife Heather on the birth of their new son, Benton Ford, today. I’ve congratulated a lot of my friends on the arrival of their children in the past year, but this is the first congratulations I’ve sent as a dad myself. Kind makes me all sappy, ya know? […]

Today was Simon’s first trip to the doctor since, well, since Friday when he was released from the hospital. Kiddo went two full days without costing my health insurance plan a bundle. Thanks United!

But Zadie and Nana visited last night and they brought […]
This post could alternately be titled Simon’s First Night With Absolutely Clueless Caregivers, but he’s alive and in pretty good shape this morning so I’m sticking with the title I’ve given it. Simon was finally discharged yesterday at about 4:00PM, and with help from Grandma and Bubbie, managed his first hour at home reletively uneventfully. […]
Question: How do you know when Simon has finally come home? Answer: Mom and Dad don’t have a free minute all day to blog about the coolest day of their lives.
