Thank you! 
I’m not on the military’s jock like most of the nation but I am very grateful to those who went out there and fought for us whether they had a choice or not.   
To those that died I thank you for your part in helping protect the freedoms that I exercise daily that I wouldn’t have in other countries due to my dark skin. Thank you!

In the background is my mom, CEO grandma, enjoying all of Gibbie’s  reactions to seeing animals for the first time. Baby’s zoo favs are the lions, the sea lions(who were flying as far as she could tell because she doesn’t understand water yet) and the spider monkeys. CEO grandma almost got kicked out of the park with all her excitement. Don’t mess with CEO granny, she is 4’9” of ruthless cunning.

A certain someone’s tumbl gave me a craving so we just had a quick and fantastic vietnamese dinner. Those thai teas didn’t last long. The highlight was our toddler trying and liking lemongrass tofu! Although miss little got to be clean hated the sticky vermicelli.

Don’t let this happy moment fool you. Baby Gibs is racing towards the terrible 2’s. Screaming, kicking, dropping bones & elbows. She’s not even a daycare kid and she is getting mean. Poor momma gets the brunt of it.  
Since she is hitting her terrible period early maybe she will get over it sooner. What, stop laughing at me! I don’t know how all this works.

Ok, it’s not me but I’m ill and this photo is too funny! Poor baby kinda hates the beach. This is my wife and I think she is incredibly sexy! I’m a grown man and I need curves and confidence. 

The children know not what they say bagel.

I wrote that sad piece last night as I lay in bed in pain realizing my mortality. It’s the first time I’ve let that memory out of my head. It is super personal.

But I published it the same time punkdad was going off on some wicked funny shenanigans. Cheered me right up! You and your wife are a hilarious team.
So I’m reposting it today during a quieter time. I miss my friend Aaron a lot. He died of cancer at 27yrs old.

Not sure why we can’t get past one play date…
