Ditching the Coal ...

No MISTLETOE ... Just EVERYDAY SIBLING LOVE ...

90% Cheeks, 10% Everything Else


The Crew Sharing a Laugh

Our Princess and Her Shining Knight



The Kids realized the gravity of the 350-something day stay on the naughty list and wanted to make a last ditch effort to get put on the "nice list". As you can see, they are hamming it up in front of the Christmas tree and putting on a really good show just in case Santa is watching. I think their hard work will payoff!

My Motivation, My Life, My World


There are four things in my life that makes life worth living.

The first, is the boy who made me a Daddy - - - Matthew. He is a perfect blend of me and Kim ... and at the same time a perfect blend of Kyle and Mallory. He is loving and sweet, crazy and unpredictable, and curious and independent. He gives me a run for my money, but he brings me unmatched joy.


The second is Mallory. She is the perfect little girl. She is sweet and loving. She makes my heart flutter with every "Dada" and every tear. There is no woman in my life more perfect than my precious buttercup.

Third, Kyle is the bear - in every sense of the word. He is cuddly and gentle, but also burly and rough. He gives great bear hugs, and has quickly become the family joke-ster. He is the
"little-Matthew" of the house and does everything his big brother does.

Finally, but not the least, my wife Kimberly is a key ingredient in my motivation for life. She keeps the family together and united. She keeps me focused on my family and my goals. She is a friend when I am frustrated, depressed, angry, or sad. She knows when to give me space and when to embrace me. Kimberly is a great mother, and a great wife.

My family is my focus, my passion and my life. I appreciate them everyday, and think about them every minute. There is no luckier man.

Night Out



It only took a year and a half since the babies were born ... but we had a night out that wasn't a trip to the emergency room. Kimberly and I went to Megan and Franco's wedding. It was unbelievably humid, and there was a brief monsoon during the cocktail hour ... but all-in-all I had a good time. It was night to get away from the kids, have a few drinks, enjoy each other's company, and to support a couple of friends as they tie the noose, ummm....I mean knot. The babies god parents, Josh and Nicole, were watching all three kids. They did a superb job. All 3 kids were in bed sleeping when we got home, dishes were done and our living room was clean ... man, we gota have them babysit more often!

The Best Photo Ever


Mommy was scared today. She was taking the three kids to the park again and past experience has showed her that they would all be darting in different directions and she'll have the the impossible task of corralling them. However, she was being daring and decided to risk it and take all three kids to the park. If she only knew that the kids would be there for each other, she would have been able to smile long before she snapped this picture. The kids went for a walk hand-in-hand-in-hand. They really love each other and look out for each other. It couldn't have been a better day for mom or the kids.

Shopping with Daddy


Mom was at work and Nana was watching the twins, so I took Matthew food shopping at ShopRite. I must have overworked him because he passed out quickly. He wanted me to hold his head up so he could sleep. We compromised and he agreed to use the napkins and TP as a pillow. The napkins muffled out the snoring, but were soaked with drool! A lot of moms doing their food shopping were getting a kick out of Matthew's nap. Next time I'm taking the nap and Matthew is pushing the cart!
