A couple of weekends ago, we headed out to lunch with the grandparents…which, on the surface, is pretty routine. That is, until a lady came by offering to make a dinosaur balloon for Zachary. As she blew and twisted the balloons into shape, mommy’s anxiety level began to escalate. Since before I can even remember, …
So, this spring has been, to all accounts, a little underwhelming. The last couple of weeks have been cool and damp. What are we in England! If it’s sunny, the wind hits gale force strength. And the clouds, the dark, gloomy clouds…sun, where art thou. This is all a little too much for the dogs. …
I know it’s cliche to say that your dog is man’s best friend. But as I watched Trojan sleep the other day…I was watching my best friend. And as she fights a losing battle, the days become more precious. It seems like yesterday that we picked up that bright eyed puppy, scared to death to …
Last weekend, daddy and mommy did their first sprint tri of the season. I’m not going to sugar coat it…it always is a little nerve racking for me. Every since shattering my knee cap and the long year back to normality, it tends to resonate when doing these races. But as in anything in life, …

I really don’t know when it happened. It happened so darn fast. The little guy quickly exited the toddler stage and moved into the little boy stage. Part of me is sad to see the era end..part of me is happy to see where life is taking him He continues to do very well in …
Easter was simply glorious. I started my day with a quick run. We then headed to church. Someone insisted on a shirt and tie. He looked cute After church, we did our egg hunt. Someone has mastered finding eggs on the run. Good thing the Easter Bunny was fast with putting eggs in the front …
The boy loves his Legos and who could blame him with their bright colors and moving parts. He’s on what seems an eternal quest for more and more of them. Luckily, the Easter Bunny brought two of them, the White House and London Bridge. But what the Easter Bunny overlooked is that both were for …
Last night, we took a Twiglight Tour of D.C. The Distric at night is magical. The only uncool thing was the wind. It got pretty chilly up above, but well worth it for the views. Mommy loved it for the history Today, we started our last day early. The boy was awake at 6 am. …
