B XMAS

We had the B Christmas before we left. I heard it was fabulous. Unfortunately, mommy missed it because of delays, as in 5 flight cancellations.  Zachary certainly enjoyed it and loved his toys I heard the highlight was Mom Mom opening her Make America Great Again hat. I’m sure she’ll wear it with pride We …

Christmas

Ive been a little slow updating our Christmas. It went crazy fast First, there was the crazy long drive. The boy must have asked one hundred times, “are we there yet”. In other news, not a word from Bella the whole trip. I honestly thought we accidentally left her at the house. We went to …

Pizza Pizza

So every year, we head to our favorite pizza joint with a lot of our friends and family, post Christmas. While not the best of ambiance, the pizza is pure gold.  My brother and I crave it. This year, we added a new member, toddler Colette.  She ate with the best of them…and we are …

Deep Thoughts

Some days the world goes dark. This was a tough week for mommy. My Aunt Leta passed away. We knew it was coming but it still cut to the core. Good person, even better soul. I have a lot of awesome memories with Aleta  Here are a few: Hearing the word “Yucka” when describing gross …

Brandywine

Karate Xmas

A couple of weeks ago, we attended the karate Christmas party. Needless to say, Zachary had a blast. There was much running around and eating.  And even Santa made an appearance, much to the kid’s delight Really fun night, with a great group of parents and kids.

BBall

So this morning the little guy had his first basketball clinic.  And mommy was super stoked.  The boy did not disappoint. Three separate girls from school approached us. What up Z Dog?  Which I found quiet interesting.  This from a boy who asked last night. Do girls marry girls?  Whichever, of course, we explained could …

Belt Test

Bruce Lee continued his quest for karate nirvana. He tested on Tuesday night for his brown belt. I’m still amazed how far he has come…shy little kid to confident 1st grader, pretty cool to see.  I know one thing, in a few more belts, daddy better watch his wrestling matches.  

OZ

Last weekend, we were lucky to see the Wizard of Oz in the city.  Thanks Pop Pop. This is the second play that the boy has seen, or as he says “movie”. I remember being a kid and being quiet frightened by the Witch of the West. Z not so much.  He actually clapped when …
