So we had this debate going at home about which baby would start crawling first and on what day. Naturally, I said at least one would be crawling on my birthday at the end of December. Also, naturally, I was wrong — no crawlers yet, but there’s no r...

The first time you wake up and your children aren’t at home, up wells an emptiness that is hard to put into words. Simply put, it is a not a nice feeling. When you move to the other side of the world it’s kind of imperative you prepare for many even...

I’ve written a bit about the girls learning how to make sounds and control their hands and feet. It’s a wonderful process but a byproduct of their physical development is that we’ll have to compensate around the house by baby-proofing everything. You...

I write to you from underneath five suitcases, five carry-ons, two baby seats and that lifetime supply of diapers I told you about in one of my first columns. Our flight to Hong Kong is going to be 15 hours of pure, 100 per cent unparalleled fun. Pl...

Sometimes opportunities arise which you hadn’t really considered before. Maybe it’s a job or a new experience; when you have a family you have to consider the impact not only on you and your spouse, but your children. Well, my family is about to take...
