This Sunday, Trojan turns 15 or in adult years, 105. She is a remarkable dog and clearly is a fighter. Almost four years ago, she was diagnosed with MVD, which means that she has a flapping value that is no longer attached. She was quickly put on medicine and a healthier diet. MVD be damn, …

Odds N Ends
There has been a lot of baseball the last few weeks. And the boy definitely has been working. This week, we added an old friend to his team. Z has played with him for two years and then we left our old team. Now, he is joining our team. Zachary couldn’t be happier. On Tuesday, …
It’s the Great Waterfall, Charlie Brown
Last weekend, we finally had a baseball free weekend. And mommy wanted to get out in nature and see beautiful waterworks. So after much fretting, we opted for the “Best Waterfall in NJ”. That should have our first clue. After an hour and half of driving, we found ourselves up by NYC. Mommy was none …

Zachary started at shortstop, played a little second base and right field too. This is the one thing that we love about his new team. He gets the chance to play …
Double Digits
I know this is going to be a hard post for me. It’s hard to summarize how much this guy means to us. He has blessed us beyond words. Sure, there are days when I miss my little boy. The goofiness. The tiny voice when he talked. His complete need for everything related to us. …
OC Birthday Weekend
Last weekend, we celebrated two birthdays, Zachary who turned 10 (gulph) and my mom who turned 23. It was nice that they came the day before his birthday to be with him. It certainly made his day. This year was definitely different. We were one of the only that had mask on at the beach. …
Quarantine Birthday
Yesterday, we celebrated Zachary’s birthday, quarantine style. This one definitely presented it’s challenges. Two different shops to find a place that had helium for balloons. Last minutes cancellations. A pop up rain shower that washed away our chalk tribute. But in the end, we made it work. Thankfully, the rain was short lived. Mr. Softee …
