My kids were part of the Italian cultural centers welcome party for the Italian Air Force precision teams arrival in Sacramento yesterday

They’ll dance at the airshow this weekend.

It was a once in the lifetime experience yesterday

One of my daughters (blue dress yellow hair scarf) is in a still photo at the bottom of the article greeting the pilots.

First 3 days have kicked our butts. I've maybe clocked 10-12 hours of sleep since Tuesday morning. Wife even less. Definitely a much more colicky baby than our first by quite a bit. It's really nice being home with the whole family though even with the circumstances of my job looming over it all. Wouldn't trade this exhausting time for anything.
This second kid is likely to convert me to a full time coffee drinker after nothing else could for 38 years.

Our youngest baby was 10#. The twins weighed 13# so she grew unrestricted in a stretched out belly.

She slept through the night her first night home.

I feel for you.

Tbh our almost 3 year old has never actually "slept through the night" either. But it was tolerable. The oldest daughter has a cold now too so she has been up coughing most of the night. I think last night I slept from about 8 to 9 pm. Been up since.

My oldest made his high school JV soccer team!

Super proud of the kid because he took on a new position (Goalie) a year ago and made a huge leap in skill and talent over the last six months. His Spring travel team won their league and postseason tourney and he was so good (shutouts in 7 games including two in the tourney, one being a 1-0 clean sheet in the final), but then he spent the summer getting his game and his body in even better shape for tryouts and it paid off.

I wanted this so bad for him. But even better, he wanted it so bad for himself. And he did it. I’m struggling to put into words just how proud I am of him.

This is an extremely cool post. I love high school sports. When done right, there is so much good about them.

Congrats to you and your son Chi. These ARE the good days to cherish.

Congrats Chi!

The highlight of my watching my kids play soccer was watching them eat grass during their games!

My kid is barely 3 and I'm worried how much smarter she is than me already. You can read a book to her one time and a week later she will remember it word for word even though she can't actually read. Speaking of reading...she has most of the basic skills for pre reading down and I think she will be able to read before she's 4.

Also...she randomly described the water cycle (rain, clouds, evaporation whatever) perfectly to me yesterday out of nowhere with a like 5th grade science understanding. No clue where she got it from...

Just got a call from the principal, apparently at lunch recess, my 10yo used the Heimlich maneuver on a classmate and “saved their life” (principals words, not mine)

I’m impressed that she actually listened to us when talking/teaching about this in the house, then applied it.

I’m very proud of her. She’s a great, kind, smart kid. I can’t wait to hear from her what happened and how she worked through it and how she’s feeling…

Posted: **Wed Oct 09, 2024 2:43 pm**

Holy shit! Your kid is a hero!

Posted: **Wed Oct 09, 2024 2:53 pm**

Right on!

Incredible. Definitely scary but good job raising her to automatically jump into action to help someone!

Thanks everyone!

Spoke with her last night and she told me the story.

She was processing all last night, and kept saying she knew what was going to happen if it didn’t come out.

She also said “don’t tell (first grade sister) cause she’ll tell everyone and it not our story to tell, it’s (my classmates)”

I thought that was really cool and probably what I’m most proud of in addition to how she handled the event itself.

The other day my son asked for a drink from my soda. I gave it to him and he removed my straw and inserted another one. I took the opportunity to remind him that he came from my dick.

One of the reasons I chose to be childless was based on not trusting the virtues of someone who would have me as a father.

Tonight, my three-year-old, who is assuredly already smarter than me, had a banger. She was giving one of her standard monologues on any given topic she is interested in; in this case, animals and their sleep patterns. I decided to ask her where do fish sleep? Without hesitation, she said, "In the water, daddy."

What came next was one for the ages.

She said, "Daddy did you know fish fart in their sleep?". I go, "Uh, no?"

She then says, "Yeah, like this! And rips a massive fart."

I've never been so proud. The timing and essence of the entire build-up were magnificent.

I laughed so hard I almost threw up.

Posted: **Tue Oct 29, 2024 9:20 pm**

Funny enough, I nearly puked from laughing from a fart tonight too. But it was Gary Oldman’s character in Slow Horses.

So basically your daughter is flatulent Gary Oldman reincarnated.

My slacker oldest grandson finally got a job. Guess my daughter had had enough with him wanting to watch Bluey or Paw Patrol instead of working.

Don't think I ever posted this - my son is the one facing the camera, sitting across from Senator Kelly at John McCain's old desk in the Senate offices in 2021 when he was working on Mark's second campaign.

Obviously raised right. Nice work Eebs.

Respect, Eebs. Now ya gotta give props to your wife. Tough crowd here. No slack bar and grill.

Posted: **Tue Mar 04, 2025 8:42 pm**

Damn. That's really cool. I can't imagine having kids that are well-established and old, haha. That must be such a great feeling.

But hey my 7 month old has a tooth pop out today and my 3.5 year old is prepping coffee every evening for the sleep deprived parents the next day! That feels pretty neat.

Of course, all credit to her, she's a great mom and that's where they got personality and looks. I'm an engineer for God's sake, they wanted nothing to do with that.

I was just remembering getting into arguments with you years ago about parents taking young kids to restaurants!!! But now my kids are grown and it’s me pissed going out to eat and hearing young kids melting down!!!

Engineers made possible the building of the world entire, ancient and modern. To be a parent atop that deserves high praise.

how the turntables.

Luckily for the community we never go out past 6pm for pretty much any reason. Also my oldest daughter is a fucking saint in public. She's better behaved and is kinder with better manners than any boomer I've ever dealt with. Didn't get that from me.

To change the subject just a bit:

Ebs, I was thinking that Kelly would made a good running mate for Harris. He seemed to be an obvious choice and I'm thinking he might make a great President.

It looks pretty clear to me that something came up during the vetting process that made the Harris campaign back off. We pretty much all have skeletons in the closet, but sure wondering what it was for him.

I think if whatever it was didn't end up coming out, Harris likely would've won with him.

Care to share any insight?
