I’m not sure how it happened, but somehow we officially are in November. October blew by us in an instant, leaving us ready to brace for early sunsets and winter weather. Covid Halloween was a bit of a bust. Zachary didn’t want to dress up and go around the neighborhood. So, we opted to watch …

Champions
Two weekends ago, Zachary played in his final baseball tournament of the season. I’m not going to lie, it was a long season. With Covid, we started late and then played consistently from March until October. Through that time, the team and Zachary got better. In fact, the boys won 2 out of three of …
Turning 50
This week, mommy turned 50 years old. I know that big number does disturb some people, but I took it in stride. I’m happy to have made it to 50 years of good living. It’s not always been easy, but I do feel truly blessed with my life. Yesterday, we went to pick up meat …
Great Grandmom
Last weekend, we played our second to last baseball tournament. The last couple of weeks, Z has been a little frustrated. Hitting the ball well, but right at fielders for outs. That all changed on Sunday, when he went red hot hitting the ball all over the place. Unfortunately, we lost in the final, but …
New Beginnings
Last weekend, I had emailed our breeder to let her know that Trojan had died at 15. She responded with condolences and then offered that pups were available that within the Star lineage. Star was Trojan’s mom. She is the current pups grandmother. So naturally, mommy’s interest were peaked. As we loaded into the car …
Champs
Two weekends ago, Zachary’s team finished on top of the mountain with their first tournament win. This is a team that has finished first (twice) in the final day seeding, only to not make it all the way. But last weekend was different. On a beautiful day, the boys played their hearts out on Sunday …
Life of a Trojan
We lost an important member of our family this week and to be honest, we’re all still coming to terms with it. It’s raw. My baby girl battled to the very end, showing that we did aptly name her. She was and will always be Trojan. We first met Trojan 15 years ago. She was …
Fifth Grader
Yesterday, we officially started fifth grade as a remote learner. His teacher is young and energetic, which I appreciate. I have to say, the first two days have gone pretty seamlessly. They are doing a combination of live teaching and pre-recorded lessons. With that said, you can tell it’s going to be a year of …
Labor Day Weekend
I’m not going to lie, I hate watching the end of summer. It’s not that I don’t like fall, I do…but I know what season comes after….and with that season, I’m on less than friendly terms. I just know my arch nemesis, Artic Wind is waiting to pounce. We spent Labor Day Weekend, down at …
Home Run Kid
It’s been an interesting baseball year, for sure. The summer has seen many highs and lows. And this year, Zachary played on a new team so there was that element of learning too. Each game, we asked Zachary to list his goals for the game. Most of the time, they are the same, hit a …
