Just in time for Christmas, Amy and I got our wish when Will took his first couple daring steps on his own. For weeks leading up to this momentous event, he had enjoyed being lead around by the hands or shimmying himself along counter tops and other edges while standing. […]

“Learning to Walk” by John DiBiase
It’s been several weeks since I last wrote about our adventures in parenting, but it’s really been just several weeks of a waiting game: when will the little beastie learn to walk? While we wait for Will to take the leap of faith, so to speak, it’s still pretty amusing […]
“Full-Contact Birthday Cake” by John DiBiase
So, this past Saturday, we celebrated our little guy’s very first birthday! (well….. technically, last year was his “birth day”… but he would have died if we tried to give him birthday cake as soon as he emerged into the world) On his actual day, we gave the little guy […]
“Babies and Hotels Don’t Mix” by John DiBiase
It’s been awhile since my last entry, but that doesn’t mean there haven’t been several new adventures for us. First, Amy and I finally got away for a weekend this month to Orlando. I mixed business with vacation, but it worked well to get us some time to just “us” […]
“I Hate (Most) Talking Childrens Toys” by John DiBiase
One thing I’ve noticed as my 10 month old is growing is just how obnoxious his toys can be. Of course, I’m not saying the toys themselves have their own pesky attitude (That would be silly, wouldn’t it?). However, the voices recorded for the children are some of the most […]
“Life After a Miscarriage” by Rebekah Chamberlin
My name is Rebekah Chamberlin and I’m currently 22 weeks pregnant with a healthy little baby. This will be my and my husband’s first child, Lord willing. While we’re elated and really starting to get excited, we still remember to thank God every day for our little miracle. I would […]
“Princess Genius Needs a New Laboratory” by Alex Caldwell
The problem with having a young genius and future Ivy leaguer and Nobel Prize recipient on your hands is that, for now, your house is the laboratory. My youngest daughter, Princess Genius, who turned three-years-old last week, is as bright a child as you are likely to meet, and for […]
“We Have a Crawler!” by John DiBiase
Now that our little guy is over nine and a half months old, it seems some of my initial shock is wearing off. Sure, it’s still a big life change to be lugging around a mini-human (and diaper bags), dealing with fussy fits (although, thankfully, those have lessened), and not […]
“Hide the China! He’s on the Loose!” by John DiBiase
In the several weeks that have passed since I last wrote on our bouncing baby boy, quite a few things have transpired. The biggest of such transpirations, however, is that my clumsy left foot discovered just how horrifically evil a children’s crib can be… When my foot casually-yet-unintentionally-forcefully connected with […]
“Our Children’s Companions” by J.M. Farro
Over twenty years ago, when my husband and I moved into the home we are in now, my sons were 12 and 9 years of age. There were many young children in this neighborhood at the time, and my boys were eager to make new friends. At first, my husband […]
