Fatherhood

It’s football season, folks.

September 13, 2010

 When Craig and I started dating, I used the 15-16 weeks of high school football season as “Krista time”.  He was tied up with practice and film and scouting and prepping for the next game so I made dinner dates with girlfriends, shopped a lot and took spiked drinks to the games.  (Yeah, he coaches high school.  [...]

Hello, Fall!

August 11, 2010

The week that football preseason starts is always a tough week for me.  I get pretty used to having Craig around in the evenings and weekends throughout the year and the second week of August everything changes.  For a few weeks, until the routine of the regular season starts, he puts in obscenely long hours. (although, [...]

Vacation Photos

July 11, 2010

 Our vacation, in a nutshell, in pictures…. From top left, clockwise:    Craig & C. rocking the Baby Bjorn. What do you do when you forget to pack a bib?  Tie a napkin ’round her neck, of course.  Oh, and Blue Moon.  YUM.  He’s got a stroller loaded down with luggage, a duffel bag on his [...]

If you see pieces of a heart, it’s mine

June 22, 2010

Moments like these make my heart want to explode into itty bitty pieces.  From the other room, I hear Craig start to read about a mouse and a cookie.  I listen for the pat-pat-pat of C crawling away or the crash of her pulling a stuffed animal out of the toy bin.  It’s quiet except [...]

Confession: I’m not the mother I thought I would be

June 17, 2010

I’ve mentioned before that I’m working my way through Babyproofing Your Marriage, right?  It’s a good read and I find myself nodding in agreement at least three times on every page. Except for one thing.   The part where it says that the mother is the protective, gentle parent.  Also.  Over the last few weeks I’ve read [...]

June 15, 2010

He makes me laugh & holds my hand. He kills spiders and gets dead mice out of the pool.  He loved me in Punta Cana will my face swelled up from sun poisoning and in Mexico when food posioning landed us both in a hospital in a foriegn country.  He holds me up when I [...]

Baby Talk

June 7, 2010

My daughter’s mouth runs constantly these days.  From the moment I get her out of her crib, to the time right before bed when she’s sucking contently on the paci, she’s babbling and talking.  It’s a constant whirl of ba-da-ga-ada-mpf-ag-wa-ma. I’m sure in her head she is telling a pretty good story complete with details about [...]

Pillow Talk

June 3, 2010

Me:  Hon, tonight while nothing on the computer went the way I wanted it too, I was looking through pictures from when C was itty bitty.  Him:  Oh? Me:  Yep, there are pictures from the hospital, the first few days home and her snuggling in bed with me after you got up for work. There are [...]

HELLO! Summer

June 1, 2010

Internet! I haven’t been this excited about summer since the summer of 98, before I went to college and took full advantage of sleeping in until noon, working at MickeyD’s and drinking beers camping in the woods.  If you read the Twitter Home Tour post from a while back, you saw that when we built a house, [...]
