It’s been a tough couple of weeks with accessing the blog. I’m now able to get into it but can’t upload pictures. Wonderful. So, I’m using some older pictures and will provide a real time update. First on deck, it is an end of an era. Zachary has spent the last two years playing for …

Week in Rewind: October 22
Time has a funny way of catching up to all of us. I’ve been thinking a lot about it this week as I celebrated another birthday. Youthful jubilance has been surpassed with age and wisdom. And as I reflect, I can honestly say I have a wonderful life. I have a great family that has …
Week in Rewind: Oct 15
The seas of change have been brewing for some time. It’s not always easy to accept that it’s in front of you but the good ones realize it and work the change to their advantage. Last year, around this time, Zachary was on the verge of quitting pitching. Frustrated, down on his luck, things looked …
Week in Rewind: Oct 8th
Another fast week in the books. The boy had two test this week and aced both of them. Mike continues to work with him turning verbal questions into math equations. Now if he could just figure out how to get out of this beach chair. I’m sure there is a mathematical equation in there somewhere. …
Week in Rewind Oct 1
September, I barely even know you. In a flash you were gone. Gone are the long, hot days of summer. Instead, we’ve settled into cooler mornings and milder days. We’ve stayed busy on this end. The pups continue their quest to take down all the rabbit. Kill the wabbit. Kill the wabbit. Fortunately for them, …
Return to normality
This week, we entered the second week of school. As we shook off some of the rust, we are slowly making our way into a routine. This guy heads to school with daddy around 8: 25. The house gets noticeably quieter and cleaner. The pups and I settle into our work day, which is only …
End of Summer
We’ve had ourselves quiet the summer. In baseball, Zachary was the two time player of the game at Ripken. Quiet a feat in of itself but especially after the season he had. He battled a month long hitting drought, a demotion to outfield and no pitching. But as we always preach, keep grinding and good …
Lake Pactolus
Today was supposed to be a quiet day. As luck would have it, we found a lake with pontoon boats. And with Mom Mon growing up on the Chesapeake and driving boats, we went for i t. We waited out a massive rain delay..but we finally boarded and headed out. The boys had a blast …
Badlands
Well, we confirm why they call it the Badlands. This place is hot, as in over 100 hot. It is also very barren. We still had fun. The boys climbed hills And we did a Men of the Badlands shot And of course, a Women of the Badlands. To me, this place reminded me of …
Mammoth and Wind Cave
We started the day at Mammoth of Hot Springs, where we got to see fossils of mammoths. Mainly the males would enter a drinking lake but got caught because it was a deep bowl. Bad for them. Lucky for us, because it allowed for near perfect preservation. We then headed to Wind Cave National Park. …
