First, he shares this on Facebook: Then he posts a video on YouTube encouraging Star Trek and Star Wars fans to unite against Twilight: And now, he goes and does this (click to view large): As Redditor dwightmoody says, "Adding him as a Facebook friend is like inviting a zany gay neighbor from a sitcom into your living room." I couldn't agree more. :-D...

I just realized that I never shared Aerin's Chinese and Korean names with you guys. Aerin's Chinese name — 君靖 (Gwan Zing) — was chosen by J from a list of "pre-approved" names given to him by his parents. Claire's Chinese name, 君婷 (Gwan Ting), was chosen this way too.

Since the moment I got pregnant with Aerin, J took over Claire's night and morning duties so that I could get some extra rest. The routine has not changed with the birth of our second daughter. In fact, I think that J quite enjoys these moments alone with his eldest — despite the fact that he is not a morning person — and uses them as special father-daughter bonding times. A typical workday morning usually goes something like this (all times are VERY approximate and change daily): 6:00am: Aerin wakes up. I change her diaper, feed her, and play with her a bit until she is ready to fall back asleep. Aerin may or may not be sleeping again when — 7:30am: Claire wakes...

Looking at these makes me melancholy for some reason. I think to my own loved ones and reflect on how much they have changed, and will continue to change over the years. But this sadness and nostalgia is also mixed with hope for the future. :-) Via Reddit....
