10Oct/100

10.10.10

Happy 10/10/10 Day!
Lots of reasons to celebrate:

It's equal to the number 42 (in binary: 101010), which is the answer to everything and quite a few other things as well.
It's the beginning of the 10:10 global campaign to cut carbon emissions.
It's an auspicious day to take a picture of yourself.
It's one day before our anniversary!

In case you've been in a cave the last year, this is what they are spoofing.

Breakfast for Dinner!

Tonight we had an "upside down" dinner, eating breakfast food for dinner! It was quite fun - might even become a new Friday night tradition:

We had scrambled eggs, sausage, and breakfast burritos.

“Wait, You Said This Milk Came From Where?!”

Alternative titles considered:
"You have me wearing white after Labor Day?!"
"Dad, you are not leaving the house looking like that!"
"Did someone else in this room poop their pants too?"

I thought I loved my wife when we first met; we were careless and free at Indiana University. After we dated and finally married I was sure my love for her had reached it's pinnacle. However the arrival of our first child, Libby, brought a whole new level of love and respect for Shannon. We were a real family; a married couple with a kid. How could I fill my life with more?

And then along came Cooper, and with him a host of new and familiar things to balance and re-balance in our busy lives. Shannon has taken the transition in stride, and I find myself falling head over heels in love with her all over again.

There have been nights when I have tried to do what she does for just a couple hours; I am exhausted at the end. Shannon is an incredible mother, wife, and friend. I am extremely lucky and grateful that she is my partner on this wonderful journey.
