And now at 8 years old. We recently played a tournament with two teams that were really, really good..as in pitchers who threw with real heat. On Saturday, we split the games with a win and a loss. Sunday, oh boy, what an amazing two games. The first game, we played the team that destroyed …

Hello Again
Hello, it’s me. I was wondering if you’d like to meet. Much like the Adele song, we need to say I’m sorry. This blog has been MIA for a bit. And I really can’t make excuses. So, I’ll give an update to get back to speed: Winter ended in the northeast, but not before tearing …
Great Grandmom
Sometimes in life you are gifted a great treasure. One that is special and irreplaceable. For us, that special person is Great Grandmom. The grand matriarch of the family and truly an ageless beauty. We feel blessed to have her in our lives, still going strong in her 90s. Wishing her a special birthday and …
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 …
Tis the Season
Last week gave us a lovely glimpse of spring. We had our outdoor practice on a warm 60 degree day. The birds were chirping, blue skies abound, but as much as I wished winter was over, old man had more in store for us….and he brought his companion, Artic wind blast. A quick snow storm …
Super Bowl
So last Saturday after out basketball game, the boy wasn’t hungry. He went upstairs to play with his buddies. As day shifted into night, still no signs of hunger. Weird, I thought. 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 …
