150 Steps.an Adoption Journey. The ruminations of a newly adoptive father. Sunday, October 31, 2010. By Ray Bradbury. I even named my second cat, Pipkin, after the character who goes missing in the book and must be pursued through time and to the edge of death itself by his friends. After the paperback I'd been given when I was 10 finally fell apart a few years ago, I went online and found a hardbound copy signed by Bradbury and bought it. But instead we wait. I wonder if there are any Twizzlers left?

Wednesday, March 2, 2011. Last night, I watched you sleep. Your tiny little mouth, curled in to a kiss. Your tiny little nose, pink and perfect. Your chubby little cheeks, so squishy and kissable. I actually started to cry, the sight of you made me so happy. I love that I get to love you for a whole lifetime. I love that you are ours to spoil. Forever. As a wrecking ball to anything in her path. You are in for some good times, kiddo. He's gonna do it! To make your dolphin jump. You LOVE that aquarium.
