  • There are few things my baby boy Christopher loves. He loves music; he loves to go around in circles; he loves to sing two songs at once; he loves sand and dirt by the bucket; he loves mountains of blueberries; he loves to model his spiffy preppy clothes; he loves, and I mean loves, his…

  • Another Summer has come and gone and so has our annual beach to Rehoboth, DE. This time around, however, I can’t say that it was as good a time as last year.       ​It started auspicious enough, with our stop at Hopkins Creamery for probably the best ice cream we’ve ever had. But…

  • It just seems like yesterday when I used to rock Mr. Man four in the morning and Kate and me were so sleep deprived that we couldn’t see or think straight. It also seems like yesterday when I could hold him in the palms of my hands. Unbelievably, he is now almost 30 lbs and…

  • It’s been few days after my I went from eating three meals to two meals a day. Here are pictures of what Kate made me for din din this past week. With this latest change, I have to admit I was hungry as hell starting at 4 pm; I was so hungry it felt like…

  • Gordon Ramsey, of the popular reality cooking show, “Hell’s Kitchen”, used to have a British show called the “F Word”, which was one of my favorite cooking shows. In one segment, he would do a fast forward version of the dish of the day and at the end he would exclaim, for example, “beef wellington,…

  • After starting our day at 5:20 am and getting to the BWI Airport with 3 suitcases, a carseat, and a high chair, we are finally here at the Aquamarine Beach House; our home away from home for the next 7 days. Mr. Man did surprisingly well during our two flights. He ate, read, ran all…

  • Before we had Christopher, Kate and I took a lot of adventures together. From Canada, to Asia, to the Caribbean, we’ve explored, seen the sites, and gotten to know the locals. But, amid all the fun times, we’ve also had our share of misadventures. Motion sickness in Montreal. Getting lost in Bangkok. An island-wide blackout…

  • Wow, it’s the last day of our beach trip and boy has it been fun. The most pressing issue of this day: Get up early enough to get in line to get croissants from Cafe Papillon before they run out. Kate has been itching to get her hands on them the entire week. Papillon, which means…

  • Day 4 Remember I said in a previous post about our beach plan to get subs to-go from a place called Frank and Louie’s? Well, when we got there on Day 2 it was closed! We read that they would re-open on Thursday, so that meant that we had to wait two WHOLE days to…

  • After spending time sight seeing in Lewes, DE on the first day, the temperature rose to a warm mid 80’s on second and third days of our beach vacay and we were finally able to get some sand time in Rehoboth. Day 2 On our second day, the plan was to get sandwiches from Frank…
