MY DUDE 🐂

Fall Festival at daycare, and OH SHIT LOOK WHO'S HERE.

Friday off, big kid at daycare, little kid on errands with mom, and the backyard isn't too buggy to enjoy the hammock for once.

Sweet, rare, blessed me time. I can scarcely believe it.

Had a sleep study last night. Absolutely awful, but I got this great selfie with real "I lived bitch" energy to it out of the deal.

My city's "I Voted" stickers continue to be better than anyone else's city's "I Voted" stickers.

This kind of squares with the idea that the weird MAGA guy who owns Steak and Shake and has shares of Cracker Barrel had something to do with it, yeah?

One more of me and the older guy, because I feel like it just captures our dynamic so well 😆

Because I shared them on FB/IG today, and I love them so much, professional family photos of my boys ❤️

Been a family of four for a month now, and it's been a lot of learning, but also a lot of love.

Didn't occur to me until I saw this iconic shot again, but ... they're definitely trying for this look with Domhnall Gleeson on The Paper? Or more accurately, a dork who really wants to have this look?

Kid meeting his heroes at Thomas and Friends model railroad 😍

Looking for a plushie for the new baby. Since we named him Keaton, this seems appropriate, right?

Wife made a comparison shot of our kids at two weeks old - current baby #2 on the left, baby #1 from 2022 on the right. My dudes could be twins.

Damned if I'm not still a sucker every time for a conceptual hook like this from @themountaingoats.bsky.social

Got a spiffy new dad vest from Costco yesterday, only to wear it out today and realize I inadvertently dressed myself as Dipper from Gravity Falls.

Today in parental leave: rope dropping Costco Executive Member early hours with my dad and the other old timers.

Got little dude down in his pack n play for a late breakfast and reading time. This isn't so hard!

(if you ignore the utter chaos that the week preceding it has been, of course!)

Like, I agree the new Cracker Barrel interior sucks, but it also looks like every tradwife influencer's kitchen, so I don't know what these MAGA chuds are so upset about.
August 23, 2025 at 5:43 PM
Making an exception to my rules on kid faces and names on social media to introduce Baby Keaton! ❤️

Born yesterday afternoon, mom and baby doing great, big brother just itching to meet him soon.

Baby arrival delayed from Tuesday to Thursday. Little guy won't turn head down, so we're gonna try and turn him and hopefully avoid a C-section.

Anyhow! Passing the time at the local bounce emporium with the kid. Ball pits are definitely a sensory thing for me.

Kid wanted to bring Orange Bird to play with at church this morning.

Felt like for all the time Orange Bird spent with Anita Bryant in the 70s, the poor little guy could use clarification on a few things in an open and affirming congregation.

Out to a daycare birthday party with the kid this afternoon. Had to make myself look semi-presentable for interacting with other parents.
August 16, 2025 at 2:44 PM
Morning off work for some appointments, and also apparently Play-Doh bonanza with the kid.
