Hey Siri!
Dad is a bit obsessed with Siri these days. He’s used Siri for quite some time, asking every morning “What’s the temperature?” and “What time is it?”

Sun Naps
First nap of the New Year. After a morning arguing with me about whether or not strawberries are still in the market, asking if I was drinking Folgers, complaining about…

Diaper Changing
