Trying this out… Our online photo collections have just become to big over the years to keep managing through my weblog, so I’m trying to put them up on Flickr. Let’s see if the sharing works, here are some more pictures of Colton’s first day. (Yes, he’s a week old already!)

In Brief: Link to TV Appearance Yesterday, FMLA, Fighting Flooding
August 4th, 2010 4 comments »Morning Blend appearance. I was on “The Morning Blend” morning TV show on WTMJ yesterday as part of their round table discussion. We talked over priced baby diapers, internet dating and other topics. The link to watch is here if you’re interested. Going forward, I’ll be making a regular appearance on the show to provide some insight from the male point of view.
FMLA begins. So I’m officially on FMLA leave for the near future. One thing that I’ve done with the birth of our children is save up my vacation and sick time for the purpose of using it when we have a baby. I don’t take any huge vacations and generally avoid sick days (when possible with two small kids) because being able to spend some serious quality time with a newborn is important to me. I know a lot of people who are forced to go back to work after a week or two of having a new baby and completely missing out on the first couple months of their baby. I’m happy I can take as much time as I am with Colton.
Flooding in Milwaukee. Policy hand grenade time! You know what would create thousands of jobs in Milwaukee, reduce the impact of pollution in Lake Michigan and prevent millions of dollars in damage to homes? Separate the sanitary and rain sewers in Milwaukee! I know it’s not an extremely popular option from most of the folks on my side of the aisle, but it needs to be done and the sooner we start, the sooner it’s finished. For all the conservatives out there who are cheering this on as well, I hope you’re equally committed to the proposals out there to separate the sewers when the price tag is revealed. Yes, it will be expensive.

Countdown to Baby Delivery Begins
July 28th, 2010 4 comments »So we’ll be heading to the hospital tomorrow morning for a scheduled cesarean section (baby is breach) and hopefully within a few hours we’ll have a happy and healthy third little bundle of joy to join our family. I won’t be posting a play by play from the operating table, but will hopefully have some news and pictures to share tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks to all our family, friends and supporters who’ve been really great during the pregnancy, especially here towards the end when things have been tough. It’s appreciated.

In Brief: Baby Update, Run for the Parks, Brewers Closing in on .500
July 27th, 2010 No comments »Baby update: We’re still in a holding pattern. Baby is still breech and we’re scheduled for a cesarean section on Thursday.
Run for the Parks: In case you missed it, there’s a great family focused fun/walk run being put on by the Park People tonight in Humboldt Park. The proceeds are going to pay for repairs on the bathrooms at the Humboldt Park band shell. You can still sign up tonight at the event, but the number of tshirts we have are limited so get there early!
Carter & his racing sausages
How about them Brewers! Not to jinx the whole thing, but the Brewers are playing good baseball since the All Star break as I predicted they would. Taking this series against the Reds would also be a huge boost to our post-season chances and give the team the confidence they need to know they can play (and win) against the best teams in baseball. To all the Rickie Weeks haters out there, how’s your crow tasting? On a positive note, here’s a fun picture of Carter at last Saturdays game:
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and sons Carter and Colton.
