My wife took this photo in the middle of Jarvis's first night at home.
My son Jarvis was born a little over a week ago. This is the story of how he got his name. Last August, I took my daughter Michelle to her first concert. We saw Selena Gomez at the ACC. We parked at 1 Yonge Street and walked to a restaurant
My son plays for Frost in the Pee Wee division of the George Bell Hockey Association. Today, they took on the Capitals in the finals and we won! I love watching my boy play hockey. He won it all last year, and won it all again today in a 6-1
Yesterday, was a great day. In fact, it was one of those all-time wonderful days that I'll remember forever. I enjoyed my first day with baby Jarvis and got to introduce James and Michelle to their new brother. It was awesome. At about 6pm, James, Michelle and I decided to
Last night, at 9:45pm, Jarvis Henry finally arrived. He was 8lb 3oz and perfectly healthy. Mom's doing great, his brother and sister are excited and I'm exhausted.
An arrogant, insufferable cad who threw away Darryl Sittler and Lanny McDonald and ensured the Leafs went 266-441 in the 80s is responsible for the room my son will be born in.
I made a great sacrifice for my unborn son this week. I left the comfy confines of my 2nd floor office and converted it back into a baby's room. Here's the before: Here's the after: I'm not complaining. Making the switch was a no-brainer, and besides, I love my new
With my first two kids, we used Pampers and Huggies disposable diapers. For kid #3, due any day now, we're using reusable cloth diapers. My wife wrote a great entry about the decision here. We decided to go with one-size pocket diapers. To start, I purchased two of the best
My wife is 36 weeks pregnant today. Baby Jarvis will arrive at some point in the next month. On Sunday, I moved my home office and podcast studio into the basement so we could start setting up his room. Yesterday, we were in Ikea picking him up a dresser. We've
Now that my wife is in her third trimester, I'm starting to get excited. I'm only a couple of months away from meeting my son Jarvis. As the father, there's really only so much you can do during the pregnancy. You try and make your wife as comfortable as possible,
My wife will be 27 weeks pregnant on Wednesday. That's got us thinking about all the stuff we'll need for our newborn son. It's been a decade since I went through this with my daughter, and we still had most of the baby stuff from her older brother, who was
On Friday, I got to hear the heartbeat of my unborn son. My wife recorded it so I could share it here. It's strong... which is the best Christmas gift I could ask for. I'll be spending today with the people I care about most. My hope for you is

Nine Toronto Santa Claus Parade's in a row... I'm a lucky SOB. And I'll most definitely be back... 200420052006200720082009201020112012
The following is two comments I made on today's Open Mike. They were written quickly but from the heart following an intense discussion with my two kids as I took them to school this morning. -- Driving my kids to school today, my 11-year old son asked me if Rob
I've been advised by my son that he's going around with buddies tonight, but my daughter wants to go trick-or-treating with me. That means I'll be dressing up in the same costume I've worn the past six Halloweens. It's quite simple. All I do is wear my old school goalie
As a kid, I'd have loved to have had the opportunity to run the bases at Exhibition Stadium after a Jays game. Just being on the same field as the pros is a thrill. After this afternoon's 7-2 victory against the Rays, I asked my son and nephew if they
Last night, I took my daughter to her first concert. We saw Selena Gomez at the Air Canada Centre. It was a beautiful Saturday in Toronto, so we went to Buskerfest on Yonge first before grabbing dinner and heading to the show for the opening act. The first performer was
I'm taking my daughter to see Selena Gomez Saturday night at the Air Canada Centre. It will be her first concert and I'm actually pretty excited about sitting beside her for the show, even though I don't care at all for the headliner. Although I would have bought a ticket
Dear Michelle, I can't believe my baby girl is 9-years old. Enjoy your last year of single-digits! I'm so very proud of you and your zest for life. You know I love you and will always be there to support you, encourage you, coach you and hang with you. You're
