Every year for my birthday, my kids “surprise” me with a home made cake or cupcakes. It takes more work for me to conveniently be gone, and not hear them talking to mom about “you know what.” But it’s swell all the same. 📷
I didn’t watch the WWDC keynote. But I did take the kids to their first swim lessons. 📷
“Dad, how do you know stuff about the past?”
“I’m a dad. I know almost everything.“
“Oh yeah, who was the tallest president to ever live?”
“Abraham Lincoln.”
::grins in surprise:: “Well done, well done.”
Beautiful blood moon tonight. We were able to see it at a reasonable hour in Arizona. Kids loved it. Simply stunning.

We let momma hit up brunch and a brewery, alone, this morning after Mass. Then we joined her for the last little bit. 📷
Cheers, again, to all the moms!
Queued up for the evening.
First time for the kiddos. She’s not even in Wonderland and their already enthralled.
Back at the pool. 📷
Poolside.
The kiddos and their cousins shut it down. 📷

Easter Vigil at his request. Deo Gratias.

First MLB game for the bid kiddo at Spring Training.
We got better seats than we deserved, I’ll tell ya that much.
Oh, and the starting pitcher signed his ball.
Baseball is back, folks. ⚾️
⚾️ My original seat locations for Angels spring training were taken already—so the ticketing office applied my credit to front row behind the dugout for Saturday. And they dropped prices, so I even got a partial refund.
Today, I’m one of several chaperones for my kindergartner’s first field trip.
Off to see the The Hungry Caterpillar as a play. 📷
First time inside Chik-fil-A since the before times. 🐓📷
Needless to say, the kiddo was very happy about it.
The audacity of a school administrator trying to end run around parents who, respectively, have a PhD and an MSW and who know the rules at least as well as they do is something. I don’t know if I’m appalled at the behavior or impressed at the bravado.
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Kushner
A quick family photo after the Mass. (Note the water all over one of the kiddo’s shirt. He totally wasn’t playing in the fountain.)
When your son asks you to wear a tie “just because,” you put on that tie. Like a boss.
She loves her biggest brother.
(Taken at Mass—a rare exception to my no phone policy at church.)
