It’s been a while, but lately I’ve gotten to spend a lot more time with my favorite EHIL: Ex-Husband-In-Law. AKA, my wife's ex-husband. It’s been even longer since we’ve done a project together. He came over this weekend and, while I’d like to say helped me build, (he built and I helped), a … Continue reading Hangin’ with the Ex-Husband-In-Law

The Treehouse Project (11-15)
What happens when you have 5 kids that have been begging for a treehouse and 2 dads that happen to be engineers? A. Very. Big. Project. Let me tell you about The Treehouse. It's hard to ignore a 3 year old's nightly pleas, big blue eyes, and "I found daddy's safety glasses for when he … Continue reading The Treehouse Project (11-15)
He Calls me Moppy (12-8-15)
I probably have one of the best “other mother” situations I could ever have. I am “other mother” to our #5, who turns 2 soon. I met this little guy before he was born, and was one of the very first people to lay eyes on him as I was at his birth. I didn’t … Continue reading He Calls me Moppy (12-8-15)
The Other Ex-Husband-In-Law Guest Blog (1-26-16)
A couple of months ago, my wife wrote a blog about the relationship she has with my ex-husband. Over the summer, we were trying to figure out how to define each other’s ex-husband to others in the fewest words possible. I coined the term “ex-husband-in-law” (although, she kind of takes the credit for this stroke … Continue reading The Other Ex-Husband-In-Law Guest Blog (1-26-16)
When it’s not just the 9 of us…(3-2-16)
Guest blog by my wife: A few weeks ago, my wife wrote about changes. That blog definitely struck a chord with me. The last year has been a series of unexpected changes and, unfortunately, given our situation we are likely to see more changes in the future. One of the questions I’ve been asked the … Continue reading When it’s not just the 9 of us…(3-2-16)
YaYa (3-11-16)
A recurring theme in our blog is family is what you make it. I want to share about an amazing person in our family that we call YaYa. YaYa is the name for our #5’s paternal grandmother. (My ex-husband-in-law’s mom, AKA my wife’s-ex-mother-in-law???) She lives nearby and he gets to see her lots. We love … Continue reading YaYa (3-11-16)
The Big Day (4-11-16)
Wedding day thoughts: I love this girl so much! I remember the day I knew I would gladly, easily, readily spend the rest of my life with her. At that point we were only friends. We've been through so much to be together. Each day I reflect on how unbelievable it really is that she … Continue reading The Big Day (4-11-16)
In the Closet (5-27-16)
In the past couple months, I've spent a lot of time back in the closet. Our house has very little storage space, and when my wife originally moved in we "converted" (in other words, threw some cheap clothing racks into) the only storage room (unfinished with wood shelves hanging off the walls because the previous … Continue reading In the Closet (5-27-16)
