Christmas Eve

Last night, we celebrated Christmas Eve. We started with Zachary’s best buddy, Cameron coming to visit, where Z scored awesome gifts (again) We then headed to church and afterward met up with some really special relatives, Uncle Eldon and Aunt Carol.  Uncle Eldon is the brother of mommy’s grandmother.  At age 92, he’s a trooper …

Odds N Ends

The last few weeks have been the return to basketball.  Today, we had another practice and after winter break our first game. Three snows already and a polar vortex and mommy may just loose her mind.  Spring, where art thou..at least I have the pups to keep me warm As the mad rush to Christmas …

Birthday Parties

This month we’ve been to four different parties.  I love watching him interacting with his buddies. The only issue with the last party, the boy came home sick. By the next morning, he had a fever and chills. Off to the doctor we went…and came home with the news of the flu.  Ugh.  Thank goodness, …

Holiday Concert

Yesterday, Zachary has his holiday concert. The boy loves to sick, which melts my heart.  He’s been practicing his songs at home for weeks so it was really cool to hear the final product. Definitely gets you in the holiday spirit CA7F4BA8-A910-4840-8E6E-0EBD0557F95C

Black Belt

So this week Zachary became a Cho Dan Bo, which is basically a black belt in training. Its really cool to watch him perform the more advanced forms. He does it with such ease.  In January, he is evaluated to see if he’s ready for the 3 test process.  Pretty cool stuff  Almost there BDC18EAA-8CEC-4EF1-AE2F-0020C1A7A99C

Basketball

But it’s pretty cool to watch them undergoing the various drills.  Last weekend, they worked on dribbling, shooting, passing and rebounding.  Mommy also gave him a little edge on effective …

The Day After

We usually spend the day after debating how to spend the day. Invariably, we end up getting into some Christmas related activity. And this year, the winner was outdoor lighting. After last year’s disco lights, we needed to up the game.  Cam did a nice job of wrapping the weeping willow…and tomorrow the finishing touches. …
