Today, daddy ran the Turkey Trot at school and placed 2nd overall. For his part, the little guy refused to run..although daddy sure did give it a try with him. These two crack me up sometimes. Laughing one minute..at each other’s neck the next. For example, they played war yesterday. Z was super excited with …
Chickie arrived from the North Pole last night. He promptly jumped on our tree train for his grand introduction. Someone was super excited…and by someone, I don’t mean the boy. You see, with the arrival of Chickie, the “better be a good boy” becomes much more serious. And oh boy that makes mommy happy. Now, …
This year, we went back to making turkey at home. Doesn’t it always taste better at home? We actually prepped for many more people, but my parents couldn’t come at the last minute. That didn’t stop us from cooking a 27 pound turkey! What I love about our family is the willingness to help. It …
Zachary will be competing again in another tournament. So it’s been a week filled with lots of karate. This time he’s going to do a form and weapon. When we arrived early on Tuesday, Master Q had the little guy do his weapon form. He couldn’t stop saying “WOW”. And then he turned to me …

She had a fashion show where the kids wore different customs and had to get up in front of everyone to describe them. So in other words, the boy got his first exposure to public speaking. I wasn’t …
Lastweekend, we headed down to the stadium to watch the Sixers play Cleveland. Can’t take the Ohio out of mommy. I had to watch LeBron. Haven’t watched him play live since high school. The little guy was more into the food. Daddy came back with a cherry water ice…and as expected it went all over …
Today, mommy and the little guy headed out for our own adventure. We headed to Sahara Sam for some indoor water fun. Someone really loved the big bucket dumping water on him. Mommy was more into the slides. We laughed the whole way down them
Yesterday we headed to the Franklin Institute. Started our day with the robot exhibit. And the first robot we ran into was from South Korea There was a big telescope where we looked at the sun A big heart that daddy and Zachary ran through And, of course, an old favorite, Trains to explore I …
We celebrated Halloween on Monday. And someone was super stoked..as in awake at 5 am. Mommy went over to school to watch his parade. As soon as he saw me there was a big MOMMY. But the main event was trick or treating with his buds from the neighborhood. They rushed from house to house …
