Snow
Last Wednesday, we were hit with another round of snow. The boy, of course, was happy because school was cancelled. He spent most of the day playing video games with his buddies. When did that become such a thing, complete with head phones and team events! By mid-afternoon, the snow began to taper off. With …
Valentine
We spent a quiet night at home on Vakentine’s and I wouldn’t have wanted it any differently. At home, with my two boys and three pups. Chocolates for everyone. Life is good. Zachary, for his part, loved the Valentine Cards from school…not the cards, mine you, but the candy He got cards and gifts from …
Baseball
Last Sunday, the boy finished his last pitching clinic. It was a day of competition. And when all the boys lined up in three lines to pitch, the coach put Zachary in his line. After two rounds to see who could throw the most strikes, it came down to Z and another boy. With everyone …

The boy is not eating. Aroubd 5, Z came downstairs to eat and while in the kitchen..the big one occurred. A massive throw …
Outdoor
Some times the little things make you happy. Like when you realize that your Tuesday basketball practice has been switched to Monday at 7:30…and it’s already 7:30. That my friend is when panic mode takes hold. But after a few back and forth emails with the team, we opted for an outdoor practice at the …
Basketball
It’s been a tough basketball season. We won our first game last weekend in a nail biter. With 40 seconds left, our left wing hit a shot to seal the win. It was so rewarding to see how excited the boys were and after several losses was well deserved But that hat excitement was short …
Baseball
Our weekends for the past few weeks have been all about basketball and baseball. Zachary is in week 4 of a 6 week pitching clinic. Boy are we glad to have signed up for it. They have completely transformed his wind up. He now looks more like Roy Holliday’s mechanics Lucky for the boy …
