Don't get me wrong though, I love, love, love spending Christmas eve with family and all the traditions that go into that and also Christmas day.  I love that my kids are older and...

Twas

  Twas the night before Christmas and we gathered at our favorite place And watched Uncle Colin shove shrimp into his face Lobsters danced in the kitchen while the steaks marinated The wine and the beer won’t stay very refrigerated   The house was filled with pretty little girls in their dresses and shoes Uncle...

The House

When does a house become a home?  Is it when you mount a tv on a wall, or add a sectional couch, or when you update a kitchen and add in beautiful new countertops? It's stuff that is in millions of homes.  What makes yours unique? 90 Union Street’s story starts with a balding man... Continue Reading →

We NEVER get to sit and have a family dinner with just us.  Just myself, my wife and our two daughters.  Everyone is always so busy.  My wife never stops moving.  Going from work at one job to the next or meeting with my daughters cheer gym as she is one of the "team moms"... Continue Reading →

Fist Bumps

For as long as I can remember, the kids and I will fist bump each other when we are walking past one another.  It all started a long time ago, back when the kids were in car seats facing the rear of the car.  I would be driving and if I didn’t hear from them... Continue Reading →

Barry Ellis

This one should be a quick story.  Sara Bareilles is a super famous singer.  My wife and I have really liked her music for a long time.  And when my oldest was born the CD in the car was Sara Bareilles so we heard the songs on her first CD called Little Voice approximately 8,500...

Sing From Your Toes

My kids are stage performers.  They aren’t soccer players or baseball players; they are singers, dancers, cheerleaders, and actresses.   It’s a world I am still in complete awe of.   They LOVE the stage.  My youngest is a mess leading up to a cheer performance.  The morning of she and my wife basically scream at each...
