Caroline

Mystery Revealed…

by Caleb on May 18, 2012

We’re having another boy, and we couldn’t be more excited about it.

For the second year, my wife is participating in a community garden project right here in our neighborhood. One of her many talents. It’s really fun to see this project (ahem) sprout up in the middle of Chicago. I commend her on this. Despite the obvious etymological roots of my last name, I am no [...]

Artist in Residence

February 9, 2011

I’m not talented. I’m really not. I attempt to write cohesive thoughts down in a way that makes sense. I occasionally play and/or sing music. I dabble in design. I obsess over creating, but I’m really only OK at it. That’s why it’s really hard to live with Caroline sometimes.

Milwaukee is For Lovers (of Art)

June 1, 2010

We were finally able to get away this Memorial Day weekend for a little excursion from Chicago.

We decided on Milwaukee, since it was pretty close [...]

A Father Who Gets Spontaneously Dirty

May 23, 2010

Today for us was the official first day of summer. Not because it was 90 degrees in Chicago. Or because we grilled out. Or because we sipped mojitos on our patio at sunset. Today was the first day of summer because the three of us decided to make today our first family trip to the [...]
