Zachary is getting close to finishing up his 1st grade year. We’ve had a wonderful teacher who was named Teacher of the Year. And there’s a reason. She has a real passion for teaching and does everything possible to reach each kid With Zachary, she recognized early on that the boy needed to be challenged. …
So this week our Monday game was rained out (again). And the Wednesday game…really is scheduled for next Wednesday. We had gone over to the field to warm up….when suddenly another team showed up with the master schedule. With the grandparents coming over to watch the game, we instead ended up at our house. And …
The last few days have been blazing hot..as in 90 plus. I’m not quiet sure how it is possible to go from damp, dreary weather to a May scorcher, but we’ve managed to do it. And I, for one, am not complaining. Bring out the sun And with the pool open, beckoning everyone to jump …
For weeks, someone has been in the verge of losing more teeth. The two from uppers have been in a battle of staying versus going. Zachary spent his days pushing on them, complaining they were lose and generally not happy that they wouldn’t fall out. Well he got his wish on Wednesday. We were both …

A couple of weekends ago, we headed out to lunch with the grandparents…which, on the surface, is pretty routine. That is, until a lady came by offering to make a dinosaur balloon for Zachary. As she blew and twisted the balloons into shape, mommy’s anxiety level began to escalate. Since before I can even remember, …
So, this spring has been, to all accounts, a little underwhelming. The last couple of weeks have been cool and damp. What are we in England! If it’s sunny, the wind hits gale force strength. And the clouds, the dark, gloomy clouds…sun, where art thou. This is all a little too much for the dogs. …
I know it’s cliche to say that your dog is man’s best friend. But as I watched Trojan sleep the other day…I was watching my best friend. And as she fights a losing battle, the days become more precious. It seems like yesterday that we picked up that bright eyed puppy, scared to death to …
Last weekend, daddy and mommy did their first sprint tri of the season. I’m not going to sugar coat it…it always is a little nerve racking for me. Every since shattering my knee cap and the long year back to normality, it tends to resonate when doing these races. But as in anything in life, …
