Maggie misses her older sisters when they go to school. It’s hard being 2.

“Daddy, where my best friends.” 💔

Super proud of my daughter for working so hard on her Kindergarten diorama about Monkeys! It turned out awesome!

It was her first homework assignment. Which meant it was the whole family’s first homework project. We had a lot of fun learning about monkeys, shopping the dollar store, and using scissors and glue!

Class Valentines

In any classroom there is a high chance of food allergies. My daughter, Nora, for example is allergic to dairy. Which means she cannot eat most chocolates common as Valentines treats.

Consider non-food items, such as stickers! Most kids LOVE stickers!

Also, if you can get things that all match, it avoids the awkward deciding on which kid gets what and why. We’re all friends here. No “Bee Mine” and “I choo-choo choose you” better than someone else.

And save yourself (and the teacher) the time by not individually addressing them to each kid. Simply your kid’s name will do.

Great interviewing Evan S. Porter, author of Dad Camp! This was a great new novel (is that redundant?) about a dad wanting to bond more with his daughter ❤️

Look for the podcast episode coming soon!

Nora's 1st time in the dentist chair and she did great!

So proud of my girls for being brave and kind today! They loved the hygienist, Jordan! It's not about having the most "kid friendly" office, with TV or rewards or colorful kid murals... (if those help your kid, that's great!) But the personal care that the team at , including Nanny, made all the difference!

What has your dentist experience been like? Drop a comment below!

On this day, 10 years ago...

Becca, I asked... and you said "Yes!" Neither of us could have predicted what the next decade would bring. Through the ups and the downs. The challenges. And the many, many blessings. You inspire so much beauty, goodness, and love. I am so grateful for this life together! I love you, always and forever!

We defied the gravity of being parents of 4 young kids (including a newborn) and we had a date-day to see the Wicked Movie ! Incredible movie and thankful for Grandma and Grandpa for making this getaway possible!

I also want to shout out BanZ for their great earmuff solution that kept our baby asleep and completely content for the full 3 hour movie! The perfect for any loud spaces with kids!

My wife, Becca, is the strongest person I know. Each pregnancy and delivery for us has been harder than the last. After over 12 hours of labor at the hospital -in addition to the labor the days before- my wife gave birth to our wonderful daughter, Gemma, who greeted us face-up while my wife was still unmedicated. A mother's love knows no limit. I watched firsthand the sacrifices and pain Becca went through for each of our four daughters. Many nights we cried together and prayed for our growing family. And when Gemma finally arrived, we were both filled with relief and joy. I had tears in my eyes looking up at my wife holding this precious new life. I am grateful my girls have an amazing role model in their mom as they grow into strong, loving women of their own. We are truly blessed. ❤️

Gemma Maria Krekeler entered the world sunny side up at 8:44pm on November 1st and our home has been filled with so much love and joy! We are all doing well and grateful for our many blessings ❤️

I love when my daughters help decorate my office! 🎨

I am very grateful to work in an environment that supports family values, welcomes my daughters, and encourages creativity.
