Yes, updates have been absent for far too long. It isn’t fully out of neglect; our usual main computer has been pushed aside and we have been a bit distracted due to recent occurrences. Since the past update, we have had flooding in our house that has caused significant damage.…

A Tale of Brothers
Over the past few weeks, I have been reminded of the importance of brothers. As the only girl sandwiched between two boys, I didn’t have any sisters until later in life (first step-sisters, then sisters-in-law – both categories are like true sisters now); but, my first experience was with brothers.…
10 Year Dateaversary & Brad’s Birthday Weekend
As things seem to happen in the summer time, we’ve gotten a bit busy in the past few weeks. Weddings of close friends and family, work, and all those little things in between. This past weekend is a blog-worthy kind of weekend. We celebrated Brad’s birthday, and it’s only fitting…

Because We Value Your Opinion
So here is your chance to decide what Baby H-G will be! Oh wait, it seems that’s not really how it works… but we thought it’d be fun to see what everyone thinks the baby will be. Put your vote in whether you think it will be a girl or boy, and…

So friends, I’m here to tell you the big news. That is, I am here to confirm what was rumored to have been the case on Facebook (you know how those things spread…) Though there may have been partial evidence shown before of a “possible pregnancy” (two pregnancy tests, ultrasound,…
The Perks of Having a Pregnant Wife Part 1: "Aren’t you just CRAVING sea urchin and french fries?"
It is hard justifying going to the brewery on the grounds of pregnancy (“They do have great artichoke dip there…”), but at times pregnancy can favor the gustatory life of a father-to-be.
