So, we went to the Brandywine River Museum last weekend with Mom Mom and Pop Pop. We had never been. It is fabulous. The boy was enamored with the toy trains. Who could blame him? It was unreal, complete with engineers. But mommy couldn’t get over the critters, cute little ornaments made naturally. And do …
A couple of weeks ago, we attended the karate Christmas party. Needless to say, Zachary had a blast. There was much running around and eating. And even Santa made an appearance, much to the kid’s delight Really fun night, with a great group of parents and kids.
So this morning the little guy had his first basketball clinic. And mommy was super stoked. The boy did not disappoint. Three separate girls from school approached us. What up Z Dog? Which I found quiet interesting. This from a boy who asked last night. Do girls marry girls? Whichever, of course, we explained could …
Bruce Lee continued his quest for karate nirvana. He tested on Tuesday night for his brown belt. I’m still amazed how far he has come…shy little kid to confident 1st grader, pretty cool to see. I know one thing, in a few more belts, daddy better watch his wrestling matches.
Last weekend, we were lucky to see the Wizard of Oz in the city. Thanks Pop Pop. This is the second play that the boy has seen, or as he says “movie”. I remember being a kid and being quiet frightened by the Witch of the West. Z not so much. He actually clapped when …
Today, daddy ran the Turkey Trot at school and placed 2nd overall. For his part, the little guy refused to run..although daddy sure did give it a try with him. These two crack me up sometimes. Laughing one minute..at each other’s neck the next. For example, they played war yesterday. Z was super excited with …
Chickie arrived from the North Pole last night. He promptly jumped on our tree train for his grand introduction. Someone was super excited…and by someone, I don’t mean the boy. You see, with the arrival of Chickie, the “better be a good boy” becomes much more serious. And oh boy that makes mommy happy. Now, …
This year, we went back to making turkey at home. Doesn’t it always taste better at home? We actually prepped for many more people, but my parents couldn’t come at the last minute. That didn’t stop us from cooking a 27 pound turkey! What I love about our family is the willingness to help. It …
Zachary will be competing again in another tournament. So it’s been a week filled with lots of karate. This time he’s going to do a form and weapon. When we arrived early on Tuesday, Master Q had the little guy do his weapon form. He couldn’t stop saying “WOW”. And then he turned to me …
On Tuesday, the Amish arrived to start our shed (or should I say small barn. We’ve struggled with storage for years in our garage…lawn stuff, pool stuff, the boy’s stuff. Clearly, we were due for more room. And thus began our quest for a shed. Now mind you, a small shed would not do. So, …
