Marriage means many different things to many different people. Most of these things are indeed great but some of them….well not so great. Over the last few days, I have realized that any measurable quantity of machismo I once possessed has been lost. I have never been known as the typical “Guy’s Guy” but never …

I hear splashing in the bathroom which we all know isn’t good when you have small children. I go into the bathroom to see what is going on because the last that I knew, Carrie was in there brushing her teeth. Corey just felt the desire to place his feet (even though this shot is …

School time is quickly approaching here in NJ and this father cannot wait! Although I am not the one home with the children, I receive the result of my wife’s frustration. This year Nicky will be in the 1st grade and Jordy will be in Pre-K classes 3 days per week. This is will be …
