Blogger Pulls Tom Brady Baby Photos After Visit from State Police

Seems as if Tom Brady doesn't like naked pictures of his kid floating around the web. Can't say I blame him whatsoever. Yes, Tom is a public future and all that, but his kid? Eh, that's a big grey area for me. Even if I was offered the money to post the picture to my blog, I'd say no. There's a line there I wouldn't cross. Guess others don't care about the line.

The Joys of Boating

I spent yesterday with the family on the water, literally. We cruised the water just off of Point of Pines Beach in Revere, MA. We did a little fishing, but only caught some Peroni's as opposed to fish. After we got back, we took the kids for a little spin and of course, I had to throw a little video together.

Happy Father's Day

Ah Father's Day, the one day of the year that we are celebrated for all the things we do for our kids and family. Well, I guess that's not totally true because every day is Father's Day in my house. There's nothing better than being a dad. I have two wonderful kids and a beautiful wife that keeps the family running. She's the CEO, while I play the CFO role.

I find it kind of funny that we celebrate dads (and moms for that matter) only one day out of the year. Parenting is not a cake walk. It's a lifetime of challenges. And while my kids are only 7 and 4, I'm only really starting my journey as a dad. As my mom says, "the bigger [kids] get, the bigger problems they have."

Sometimes It's Harder on the Parents

My oldest had to have two teeth pulled over the course of two weeks. The first time we went, I was a nervous wreck. I didn't know how well my kid would do with the shot, all the devices they use, etc.

Needless to say, she did fantastic with each one. The process is worse on the parents than it is on the kids. I didn't believe that to be true until I experienced it.

Today was the second extraction and I shot this with my iPad 2.

How Much Technology is Too Much for Your Kids?

My kids are hung up on Club Penguin. They love it. It's interactive. There are games to play. There are other people to interact with (to a certain extent).

My oldest is the one that plays it the most and she's seven. My youngest, of course, wants to do what her big sister is doing. As a result, I succumbed to pressure this morning and got her an account to the tune of 60 bucks for the year.

Pacman Fun for All Ages

The past few weekends have been filled with home improvement projects. This weekend was fixing the hot water heater, specifically the element.

When I came upstairs, I heard the familiar sound of wakka wakka wakka.

That's right. Pacman. My kids were playing one of those game in a joystick devices and were having a blast.

It's a simple game. Eat all the pellets. Eat the big one to eat the ghost. Clear the board. Start again.

It's a good reminder that simple is sometimes better.
