The Reyes Report

… and all the other reasons and excuses we make to wait. Can you afford it? No – but you can. Is the world something you really want to share? No – but also yes. Are you ready? No – but if you’re even asking that question, then you’re as ready as you’re going to be.

So get in there and get pregnant. Don’t even think about it, just go blissfully into the unknown. Come on, put down the app and the spreadsheet and just live like they did in the 1800s. Hell, like they did in the 1980s, and have unprotected fun with your spouse.

Distill beyond the incredibly stupid to the deeper message … it’s not very well hidden beneath the surface. Oh, and for all my friends named, “Curtis,” I’m sorry – I didn’t write the script.

IDIOCRACY

In the year 2505, we find a civilization so dumbed-down that it doesn’t take much to be the smartest people around.

We are so happy to have new friends to welcome to the world of parent-hood, and we’re also happy to be amongst the group who have some advice to share.

To make things easier, I’m going to be bold and share some of our advice here on the blog, rather than in separate-and-forwarded emails.

So stay tuned for our new series: Baby 101.

Of course, we’re just recently graduated to Baby 102, having recently celebrated Avery’s 1st birthday. So we certainly don’t think what we have to say is fully-tested, and we’d love counter ideas and suggestions – either on our advice, or on what’s next to come for us!
