Hi! My name is Luke and this is a blog about my family and I: parenting, friends, weekend trips, and some challenging things we navigate as well.
This blog is an archive for my own memories: “These are the good years” I often say. Some day things will change, but for now, things are pretty good, and I keep this blog as a memory of that.
Marriage is great, and being a dad is funny and hard, that’s why the tag for this blog is “proud supporters of fun and failures”, because if you can’t laugh at yourself, what’s the point?

Why not Facebook?
So here is my site, and it is rarely used. I want to use it as an alternative to Facebook. And here is why. Last year when it was revealed that certain types of posts, especially as they relate to politics, are filtered, it just seemed like a good time to take a break. No…
