Day 2

Today, we continued our quest to see all of D.C. in a few days. Whew, lot to do down here. We started our tour at the Lincoln Museum.  Someone was in a rather ornery mood with this one..as in not having it. We then did the Korean and WW II Memorials.  Someone was still not …

Spring Break

This week, the little guy had his spring break. It started rather slow..but we’re on a good roll now. Yesterday we did our Easter Eggs. You may notice that some are better than others…let’s just say the boy is quiet the artist while mommy is not.  Okay I’ll say it, Mommy’s attempt at a chickie …

Spring Time

Its beginning to look like spring time around here. We’ve been busy in the gardens.  And it’s finally starting to pay off. My Eastern Redbud is in its glorious pink flower stage…notice the photo bomb And the Daffodils are a bloom. We went last year and got a whole bunch of different varieties, but I …

Tooth

When we first got Zachary, we noticed that his front tooth was missing. The dentist actually said that his two front teeth were missing. He was born with natal teeth that for some reason were pulled. These teeth have come in nicely But now, the boy has been playing with another loose tooth for over …

Baseball

On Tuesday, we had our first coach pitch baseball game.  Even though we spent most of the weekend, hitting baseballs, the little guy admitted he was a little nervous.  I was a little nervous too, he hasnt swung a bat all winter But the boy is a gamer. Four times up–four hits. No tee needed …

Newsroom

Today, in Zachary’s class they will be putting on a newsroom in front of parents. Zachary is a sports reporter talking about basketball. He was super stoked to wear a tie to work. I love that the teacher is pushing this activity, it’s so good for all of them. Zachary mentioned that he was a …

Take Me Out

So, we’ve missed most of the baseball practices. This year, Zachary moves up to coach pitch.  Last night we went to our first practice and  the boy did alright.  Mommy, on the other hand, not so much.  It was freezing.  Spring, where art thou!

State Karate Championship

Laat weekend, Zachary competed in the Stare Championship in karate. It was an action packed day that  started with breaking.  He did a jump elbow, outside to inside ax kick, and flying jump kick.  He broke the first two, but missed on the jump kick so didn’t place.   He then competed in forms, doing …

Uncle Larry

It’s been a tough week. We lost my Uncle Larry, my super hero I wanted to share my thoughts that I intend to read at its funeral. Words really can’t fully describe how special he was to me.  This is my only post this week, out of respect for him.  His beautiful life needs to …
