Kately Days: Dear Merritt,
http://katelydays.blogspot.com/2015/04/dear-merritt.html
There's the "making up words to get your point across" heart ("Momma, I 'successed' at falling asleep! Which is not to be confused with the "I had a stroke and can't say words" heart ("Dury Judy? After you learned about my civic duty). In addition to your bounty of hearts, you're brain continues to grow so rapidly and vibrantly that we're not sure how it still fits in your head. Recently you asked, "Why do we live on the bottom of the earth? You better watch out, you better not cry from a raging double e...

Kately Days: Dear Merritt,
http://katelydays.blogspot.com/2013/10/dear-merritt.html
You are four years and one week old. We can not begin to comprehend this. How have you completed four years of life and entered your fifth? Does Not. Compute. Why did I pick you? And you leaned in close and grinned a giant grin and said, "Was I cute? Oh, man. Were you ever. And you still are. I suspect you will probably always be cute. You do this thing where you nuzzle into our necks and whisper the most wonderful things. Thank you for this delicious meal.". I'm so glad to be here with the mommas.".

Kately Days: Dear Merritt,
http://katelydays.blogspot.com/2013/09/dear-merritt.html
In the five months since you last received a letter, we have purchased a house, made it a home, and allowed a television crew to document the process for a national audience. On a scale of zero to solid, I give it a shaky six as far as excuses for not writing go. While we may not have been writing to. You during the hiatus, we've definitely been writing about. So we present here a sort of laundry list of the arbitrary stuff that has fallen out of your mouth in the last 154 days. I asked if you want to go...

Kately Days: Dear Merritt,
http://katelydays.blogspot.com/2013/12/dear-merritt.html
Tonight we bid adieu to 2013 with one of your favorite meals (BRINNER! And tomorrow we'll wake up and begin 2014 together. Because let's be honest: We're not staying up to ring it in because you'll be awake mere hours after midnight. Hopefully we won't have a repeat of Christmas, where you came to our room at 1:45 am and whispered-yelled, " MOMMA, I'M DOIN' THE PLAN! Come straight to our room in the morning. Here's a toast to you learning to snap! And spelling your full name! Here's a toast to your "Sout...

Funerals for Dinosaurs: Get Up, Stand Up
http://www.funeralsfordinosaurs.com/2014/05/get-up-stand-up.html
Monday, May 19, 2014. Get Up, Stand Up. One time this horrible person wrote me after I called her out for her bigotry regarding our "House Hunters" episode on Facebook. She told the show that she'd no longer be watching and they "knew why." Lesbians ruin everything, you guys. But she ignored the correction and, since I blocked her immediately after writing it, she resorted to writing my wife instead. A fact we only learned this morning when Katie found the April 4th message in her "other" folder. The fig...

Funerals for Dinosaurs: Happy Mothers' Day!
http://www.funeralsfordinosaurs.com/2014/05/happy-mothers-day.html
Saturday, May 10, 2014. In our house, that plural possessive means EVERYTHING). Even when I was younger I didn't think that I would end up being a mother. I didn't really relish the idea of getting pregnant, perhaps because even my child self knew that would involve a man in some way. I didn't picture my wedding to a man, didn't envision us having kids and a lovely suburban life, though I saw plenty of examples of that working quite well for others. I don't know if I could have ever given a thorough desc...

Funerals for Dinosaurs: November 2012
http://www.funeralsfordinosaurs.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 11, 2012. In Which I Get Entirely Too Personal. And You Don't Read It Because It's Too Long. I've spent years thinking I'm a pretty damn good writer. Years of assuming that the only reason no one has paid me to be. Do you see that? How I turned that phrase there? Why don't I have a contract and an "Oprah's Book Club" insignia and a hilarious interview on Ellen. Let someone, or a number of someones, tell you the same thing over and over again, and you'll start to believe it. It's why I've...

Funerals for Dinosaurs: September 2013
http://www.funeralsfordinosaurs.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 27, 2013. In my lovely wife's latest blog entry. She details the story of the art piece she created for our bathroom. It's currently my favorite piece in our house, though I think everything she (or we) creates is always my favorite until the next one. In that post, Katie noted that the outline of Iowa has a small heart drawn in the location of a little town called "Coon Rapids." And she pointed out that I would explain why that place is significant. So here we are. Told me (before it m...
