Teddy

Zachary received for his first Christmas home a teddy from my parents. The bond between them has been everlasting every since. We often hear him talking with Teddy (super cute). And often, the first thing he does when he gets home from school is find teddy. As for teddy, he has been on many adventures. …

Rock Star

His teacher had the kids write about what wanted to be as an adult. His answer and reason cracked me up. The answer, a rock star. And why, so that he could have 5 homes so that mommy and daddy could live by to babysit all 10 of his kids. The boy has it figured …

Deuce

Last weekend we started our quest for basketball nirvana. But alas, it was not to be. The boy shot many times, each time coming up just short. But as they say, a new day..a new game This morning, the boy had his basketball pictures: And then rushed over to the gym for our second game. …

Rose Bowl

When you wish upon a star…sometimes dreams really do come true. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t super excited about traveling to LA for the game, everyone coughing on the plane, not a non stop route…but I made it. A wonderful New Year of homemade Korean food. (So darn good). Play time with my niece, funny …

Snow

Snow also arrived this weekend.  Now, they originally forecasted a dusting, but by noon it was clear we were getting much more, as in6 inches. The boy was so super excited.

And when …

I’m sure she’ll wear it with pride We …

Christmas

Ive been a little slow updating our Christmas. It went crazy fast First, there was the crazy long drive. The boy must have asked one hundred times, “are we there yet”. In other news, not a word from Bella the whole trip. I honestly thought we accidentally left her at the house. We went to …

Pizza Pizza

So every year, we head to our favorite pizza joint with a lot of our friends and family, post Christmas. While not the best of ambiance, the pizza is pure gold.  My brother and I crave it. This year, we added a new member, toddler Colette.  She ate with the best of them…and we are …
