Lillian is the perfect example of what happens when you have a child just like you. She equally scares me to death and leaves me inspired with what I think she will accomplish. She is smart, persistent and ornery. She gets this special glint in her eye when she knows she is making a decision […]
Read More →On Jan. 29, 2013, Lindsey and I had the privilege of welcoming our first child into the world — Caloway Jesse Miller. And today that little boy turns one. To mark this occasion, I wanted to write about the last 365 days and what they’ve meant to me as a parent, a father, a husband, […]
Read More →Caloway hears “I love you” a lot. So often in fact that started at about 3 and 1/2 months old he would smile every time he heard “I love you”. The more and more Cory and I noticed this we decided. He thinks his name is LOVE! I am not kidding. We would just say […]
Read More →Caloway was born January 29th and on January 30th was put in a Pavlik Harness for hip dysplasia. When that failed we moved to two different abduction braces which both failed.

After Caloway’s surgery we headed for New Mexico. We have been here almost a week and are already loving our decision. Red River has […]
Read More →Ok, so you have probably seen the video by now of Caloway’s beach adventure. If you haven’t, you should. It is hilarious and a memory I won’t soon forget. But what we haven’t done is effectively told the story of our fantastic time in San Diego. We were there to see doctors for Caloway, but […]
Read More →Recently I had the opportunity to watch my good friends son, Truitt for about an hour. This means I had Caloway and Truitt (he was 8 months old) at the same time. I am sure all you baby experts out there do not think this is a big deal, but for me it was huge. Jill […]
Read More →June is Hip Dysplasia Awareness month and in honor of this I am going to share 5 things I have learned through this process. Pediatricians check all babies for signs of “hip clicks” when they are born. This is a preliminary test for hip dysplasia. If you know someone who has arthritis in their hips, […]
Read More →There are a few reasons why I want to write this post. One is selfish and is just for therapeutic reasons.
