Welcome Home

My little brother (nevermind that he passed me up years ago, he’s still little) just flew into LAX this morning, visiting over his summer break. He’s been living south of Perth, Western Australia for the past year, leaving just after Dillon was born in January. I’m glad that Dillon didn’t take too much […]

Workout: Quick warm-up run and the 30-minute “core-challenge” class
Dillon had his flu booster this morning, so we didn’t make it to the gym until this evening. With Chris on-call at work, I packed Dillon up and headed to the gym this evening so that we were out of Daddy’s hair for a while. […]
