Good morning and Happy Saturday! May the Fourth be With You this Star Wars Day.

Also, today my oldest turns 15 years old. 15 years ago, my wife was on her fourth week of hospitalized bed rest and I was training the person who would fill in for me on paternity leave. I got the call and rushed to the hospital. 10 weeks early, my oldest was born via an emergent C-section.

15 years later, here I am with this snarky, smart, creative, and empathetic kid. And I'm about to take them and 4 of their friends to the zoo.

Here's hoping the weather holds up okay!

Going through a phase of encouraging our son to be more self reliant at home.

This morning’s self-prepared breakfast was *drumroll*…

Pineapple on toast.

Me - *Staring in curiosity*
Son - “I made a big mistake”

Decided it would be good for my mental health to get back into my diary habit. My 3yo decided he would like to get into my diary habit too.
