Hello everyone! October was a busy month! Here you will see various activities, including a trip to Julian, Halloween, visiting a fire station, and Riley's bday dinner. Enjoy! Corey, Jenna, Phoebe, and Grant ...

Here is an album of photos and videos from September from the Santee Edwards fam. In it you will see: Phoebe's first Ikea trip A deer Potty training Phoebe loving on Grant Phoebe before dance class Phoebs and Nona Lots of sleep and snuggles Cheers! ...

Here's an album of photos and videos of our family in August! In it you'll see us enjoying parental leave, Phoebe's bday BBQ, first dance class, first day of "preschool," running around Santee, and Grant sleeping and being cute. ...

Happy Birthday, Phoebe! It's become a tradition for Phoebe and me to have a photo shoot on the morning of her birthday. So here is the history of that activity. She's going up and becoming sweeter, funnier, and at times more difficult but I love her for it. ...

This little dude is officially one month old. I started work this week but will be back on leave in a week and a half. Jenna and I are both tired. Phoebe's thriving haha. ...

I'm about to start my last of 4 consecutive weeks of parental leave (then I'll be doing intermittent weeks off). It's awesome. I'm legitimately considering a sabbatical from work during my kids' younger years for more of these "good ol' days" vibes. Last couple of days have been fun, difficult, and sweet. Phoebe is still taking to being a big sister. Grant is eating and puking like crazy but he seems happy about it haha. We went swimming today. Here are some photos. ...

Hey everyone. As always, I'm experimenting with a new way to host photos and videos. This post contains photos and a video from Grant's birth, Phoebe meeting him, and some of Phoebe's adventures with her Mimi, Uncle Brenter, and cousins. Let me know what you think about the new platform I'm using! Corey Full Album Select Photos ...

On 7/20/25 at 4:38 am, Grant Clayton Edwards was born. His birth is marked by a message on the bitcoin blockchain as seen here. Jenna had an emergency c section but is doing well in the hospital. Hopefully he will be meeting his sister today. Lots to be thankful for! ...

Phoebe let me be her first valentine. I gave her a flower and a Paw Patrol card that is also a coloring book. ...

We received two pieces of good news about our next child. First we found out that a previous test that showed a possible genetic abnormality wasn't one, it was one of Jenna's genes and she's fine! Second, we're having a boy! This image is after we got home, we wait to open the envelope since Mimi, Sophie, and Riley were visiting so we all found out together. The bad news is that I've been calling the baby "Otis" and Jenna apparently thought I was kidding about that name. She's not on board. So u...

Lots going on in the Edwards household recently. i hope to post more here about it. for now, enjoy this pic of Rosie and Phoebe in bed. ...

Happy Birthday to this awesome young lady! ...

I was on a podcast recently. Chatted with my buddy about Bitcoin and freedom. ...

Don't know where she could have possibly learned this... ...

The cuteness level is off the charts. ...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to test another method of linking photos and videos. I'm looking for a particular set of features so this blog is easier to do. Anyway, here's a video of Phoebe being toted around a store by her cousin Riley. Enjoy! ...

This is a short and off-topic post but it's important. If you haven't noticed, AI is getting more and more sophisticated. People are using it to talk/act like loved ones pretending to be in harm's way, kidnapped, etc and extorting money out of people. It's happened to people I know. If you get a call or text like this, don't believe it. Spoofing numbers is easy, so are voices and mannerisms. Soon, live video. Ask personal questions that only that person would know. Don't send them money. St...

First thing I did was grab her and jump around a lot. Can't believe it's already been a year ...

Hello everyone, I had to rebuild my cloud and all the links are new so some of the previous posts won't have any pictures or videos. For now, check out some new stuff! For our anniversary, the three of us went to the beach and had a picnic where we got married. Phoebe took her first steps. We got a new fancy couch that we had to build from Lovesac. Lots of other stuff happened too. Check out the whole album here. Tap the 4 squares in the upper right corner to view as a grid instead of a list....

Hello everyone, Still working on a rhythm for this blog and the best way to set it up. It seems the last post, with just a link to the album, wasn't working well for a couple of people. I think the Safari browser doesn't let you scroll through the album so try chrome or firefox. To make things easier, I decided to include more photos and videos in the post as well but not everything, so you'll still need to view a Nextcloud album folder. I also noticed old posts aren't working well because ...

I keep telling myself I'm going to sit down and write a decent post haha. Since that doesn't seem to be happening, I shouldn't let that prevent me from releasing some lovely Phoebs photos. I'm testing a new way to share them by using a self-hosted cloud server. We went to the Carlsbad Flower fields, the rest are just from messing around the house. Enjoy! Corey, Jenna, & Phoebe https://nextcloud.corey.lol/s/JCkktTTiCQ9Ftxq ...

Holidays are a whirlwind, even moreso with a man-cub in tow. Even though I've been taking every other week off for parental leave, we're all super busy (in a good way). I took Jenna to a magic show for her birthday, we celebrated bdays for Brent and Sophie too. We went to a Christmas eve-eve party, hosted Christmas eve, and had Christmas brunch at Jenna's parents house. Phoebe's 4 month checkup had her above the 90th percentile for all measurements. She's the absolute unit, haha. All of t...

We had a nice thanksgiving that we hosted, it also happened to be Phoebs 3 months, but now 4 months is very close also! I've been lacking on blog posts. I'm about half way through my stint of working every other week. I've been getting small things done around the house here and there, and I'm also working on starting a business (details tbd). Most importantly, I've learned I'll be good at retirement, cant wait. Jenna was able to confirm a part time schedule when she starts back in January....

Something amazing happened a couple days ago, Phoebe slept her first continuous 8 hour night! Baby continues to grow, as does my beard. I shaved the day before she was born and have grown it since. We had a fun Halloween at my parents and look forward to the rest of Phoebe's first holiday season. "Carrying Phoebe around is making my arms buff." - Jenna Subscribe and sign our guestbook. P.S. Right after I posted this, I saw my daughter laugh for the first time. The first of many. ❤️ ...

Little Phoebs is 8 weeks old! Both my and Jenna's phones are full of pics and videos of her. Jenna is still on leave and I am working every other week (currently off). She's growing and has a clean bill of health from her most recent appointment. Some other milestones: She has more control over her head and is able to lift it during tummy time. Smiling more Kicking a lot Less cross-eyed > 12 lbs She's a handful! Luckily her mom and dad are killing it, too. Jenna is getting back into yo...

It's been a few weeks since we posted, and a lot has happened! Mostly, Phoebs is getting chubby and even more adorable. Routines are seemingly established and destroyed on a daily basis. I had my first week back to work and will be going in every other week for a while. It was nice to be working again but a little hard on Jenna, we still have to figure out what we'll do when she goes back to work. Subscribe and sign our guestbook. I went to burp Phoebs and she fell asleep haha Sophie and ...

Phoebe is an eatin' machine. Here are some photos. Subscribe and sign our guestbook.

Phoebes made it a fortnight. We're getting into a rhythm, more/less. It almost feels like we're getting enough sleep, just not consecutively haha. We've gotten a lot of support these last couple weeks, thank you all 🤗. There's probably a lot more I could say but my brain isn't working. Bye bye! Naps with Phoebe on your chest are the best. -Jenna Rosie is really into Bojack Horseman right now. Kylie came by and brought us some yummy homemade food. Rosie is making sure Phoebe gets...

Yep, that's me, you're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation Phoebe is 6 days old, yet somehow Jenna and I have both aged a decade. She's actually an angel. We're getting a lot better at giving her what she needs to avoid crying, which usually means a feedin' or a swaddlin'. The challenging thing is all the new stuff we gotta learn. I was hoping to just get by on my dad strength and endurance, but social studies? division? This is gonna be tough! We've had a couple hard d...

(Jenna added an update below) At 7:32pm on Wednesday August 24th, Jenna and I welcomed our first born child, a daughter named Phoebe Clementine Edwards, into this world. She weighed 8 lbs and measured 22 inches in length. She quickly hit all the important milestones, and stole our hearts. She's very excited to meet you all! We got home today around 2pm and are in the middle of cleaning, organizing, and establishing a routine with our new bundle of joy. The outpouring of support and love from...

It's been a busy week! Had my work happy hour on Monday, doctor appt Tuesday, dinner with Kerri for her bday Wednesday, my Bitcoin meetup Thursday, Jenna's last day at work Friday, and my interview for a podcast on Saturday. Sunday will be a belated bday lunch and soccer. The meetup on Thursday went pretty well! I gave a presentation on running a Bitcoin node and using it to create a Dead Man's Switch. They're both super easy and very useful. You can see the presentation slides for yourself (p...

Fantastic weekend. I've been drinking a ton of seltzer with my new soda stream. Jenna asked me how much is too much and I have no clue so hmu if you know. I refuse to use google. We spent Sunday afternoon in Oakley and Ashlei (and Max's) pool. It's rare we get to see them two days in a row, so that was cool. Oakley's parents brought some delicious ceviche which went great with the White Claws I was drinking. I've known Oakley since 2005, we met in the dorms at SDSU. It only took 17 years for u...

Mine, not Phoebe's. Yesterday we had a few people over for food and drink to celebrate my bday. In true Edwards fashion, we didn't take any pictures but we had a great time. Jenna made a cheesecake that was a hit (I regret sharing it). It was the most people we've had at our place, and it didn't feel too crowded. We put our patio furniture to good use and tested our fancy mosquito trap (I think it worked haha). Rosie was a little over excited when the first guests got here, and was insistin...

Jenna and I filled out the birth plan and are starting to pack the bag to bring with us to the hospital. Things are getting real. Also, I forgot a couple of photos from pool day this weekend. That's all, bye-bye. Me and Riley in the shallow end Kerri and Sophie in the deep end ...

Yesterday we went to our friend Kerri's pool with my nieces Sophie and Riley. It was a blast! Jenna loves just floating in the pool these days, it relieves a lot of the pressure of being 36 weeks pregnant. The girls made a friend with one of the other residents, they're so personable. The adults were wishing we were that friendly at that age. After the pool I took Rosie for our daily run. I took a video of us going at a decent clip. She loves running, and we're doing ~25 miles per week togeth...

Telehealth is cool I've had some pain and redness on my foot for 3 weeks. It seemed like an injury but I definitely didn't hurt myself, it even started during a week where I didn't have soccer. This was my third chance to use my insurance's telehealth program (the first two were when I had covid in May). Unlike the urgent care down the street which is always busy and has a maximum number of covid patients they will take in any given day, I have always been seen immediately via telehealth. Th...

I've been reading CA's trust laws for a couple weeks and finally finished. I wish I had known how DIY they could be! I made a tweet thread about what I learned (tl;dr you don't need a lawyer to make a trust, and they prevent the need for courts after you die, a will doesn't do that). On Sunday, Jenna and I got Board and Brew with our friends Jenni and Matt. It was good to chat, we haven't seen them in a while. I didn't get a photo though, sadly. Today we went to Handel's down the street to get...

We got our first guestbook posts from my KΨ big Brother Linda, and my cousin Taylor! Check em out. Yesterday Jenna visited her sister Kristen, while I caught up on emails and worked out. At night we watched "The Boys" on amazon. What a weird show. Today I have soccer and we're grabbing dinner with my KΨ little Brother Jenni. When asked for a contribution to this post, while sitting on a rickety rocking chair on our porch while drinking a breakfast smoothie, Jenna offered: ummm... ehhhhh........

Not much to report this week. On Sunday, Jenna and I realized that our anniversary was on monday and hadn't made any plans haha! So we decided to watch the sunset where we got Married (our first wedding). We probably didn't see it coming because of the baby being due soon, and having multiple anniversaries to celebrate. We've officially been married for 2 years. We've been getting a lot of awesome gifts from our baby registry and are feeling more like were ready, or as ready as we can be, for ...

If having a friend or two over for dinner isn't a reason to clean your entire house, I don't know what is. Before doing that, I had a good long workout, which Rosie supervised.

This is a thing Welcome to the Edwards Family blog. I've been using Standard Notes for keeping track of info, journaling, etc. for about a year. It's similar to Apple's notes app or Evernote except that it's open source and end-to-end encrypted. There are some neat features, though, that allow you to share info, like this blog! Since I'm not on social media and we're about to have our little girl soon, I thought it would be good if there was a way I could broadcast updates to close friends a...
