So we are a little over a month into school. And so far the boy is loving it. I love watching his knowledge growth. One of my favorite times is driving to karate and hearing him school me on different subject matter. Give the boy a soap box and watch out! This week, we got …
Like any family, we have our moments. I just happened to capture this gem when he got mad losing to daddy at water polo. Let’s just say someone is not a fan of losing, especially to daddy. This promptly led to a time out and a talk about what went wrong. And we had our …
Last weekend, daddy ran the Philly Rock n Roll Half Marathon. As usual, he did very well, top 4% overall. The little guy was super excited. So when daddy got home, he presented him with a hand drawn gift. On the surface it appeared to be super sweet. I mean the sun is shining in …
Ever wonder how one little gift turns into a quest to own a massive pile of Legos. And why was I not more aware of this growing obsession. I need more, more, more, said the mad king. Legos, Legos, Legos, you are everywhere and are quickly becoming mommy’s number one enemy. Bins full of them, …
It was a crazy fast week for us. Work was nutty. School work continued on. Karate kept us moving. And this weekend, daddy is running the Rock n Roll Half Marathon. What would life be without controlled chaos. We did manage to get the pool several times this week….cold water doesn’t stop the boy. With …
So Tuesday was a busy day for us, but I made time to go to the Back to School night. The little guy was so excited for me. He kept telling me that there was a big surprise..and in a serious tone said “mommy, act surprised” Well that big surprise was a big life side …
Last week, the little guy had his next belt test. We are proud to announce that we have a blue belt in the family! And the boy is rocking that swag. He has come so far from where we began. This was the boy who shyly looked on and refused to go up in front …
Our Labor Day was action packed. My parents and uncles arrived on Thursday night. On Saturday, we took off early for Texas to watch the SC/Bama game. So much fun…result of game, not so much. It was really cool to see the Trojan family out representing, even in an embarrassing lose. As for Jerry World..it …
I’m not going to lie, we almost blew off Wednesday karate. Good thing we didn’t because we did our belt test 2 days early. Pretty funny to watch the kids running around before class and then putting on their game face when it was announce. And the little guy was one of two kids that …
This is week also saw the return of school. There is a big first grader in the house! We couldn’t be more proud of him. He reads, spells and counts way before we were doing that stuff. Crazy the capacity of their brain at that age. Today, he has to get up in front of …
