Congratulations!! It's all such a trip. For me at least the first few months were just survival. Love the playlist: Afterthought is one of my favorite songs of all time. Have you ever checked out The Evens? For pure mellow melancholy nothing beats 'em.

Thanks Anna! It’s been pretty wild so far. I have, their song Cut From The Cloth is one of my favourites.

This is absolutely beautiful.

"Cause that’s what we do in this house, and we just forgot that for a second. "

That pretty much summed up parenting for me in the early years... every time things fell apart or wouldn't glide, it was because I wasn't following the cues of my own nature. Keep following your instincts and you'll do just fine.

Thanks so much Shauna. I expect I’ll have to relearn that lesson about a million times over, and I’m happy to.

Lovely stuff, man.

And yes, music does what a pacifier sometimes cannot. My 10-year-old daughter begs me to put on Primus or The Doors.

Thanks Bradley. Man, that’s awesome, definitely the type of kid I’m hoping to raise.
