Eagles mania has hit full force this week. Sunday is the Super Bowl against the Patriots. And someone is super stoked I mean, daddy is not a morning person and he was super jolly this morning. As he left for work, he told Z that if we win, we get a big trophy. To which …
Week in Rewind
Basketball
Last weekend, the grandparents came to watch Zachary play. The boy did not disappoint. He shot, dribbled, rebounded and played his little heart out…in another loss. Unfortunately, sometimes you get placed on bad teams…but as mommy told him, that still gives you an opportunity to improve. Preserverance starts with a single step forward, …
Eagles
The Eagles managed to win a nail biter last week. So we’re gearing up for the NFC title game this Sunday. And daddy is super excited….that is until Zachary openly said, I’m beginning to like the NY Giants. Pure Blasphemy! And I think I might have seen daddy almost choke on his drink. It …
Last Monday, we made a quick trip to the vet. Really only Trojan and Mattie had appointments, but that very sad Bella face meant she was coming too. How can you not love her insanity…except when driving and she’s digging incessantly like a mad woman. As Zachary asked, are you crazy! Why yes, yes she …
Basketball
Last Saturday, Zachary also played his first game. Mommy loved that they had him running point to start…but boy was it a rough game. I really would like to know how some teams are so loaded with talent and others not so much. We, of course, are in the not so much category, which frustrates …
Black belt
Next weekend Zachary has his black belt evaluation. This is his first steps to getting his belt. And the important thing is that the evaluation pinpoints areas that he needs improvement before the final test. During class last week, he learned the final form needed for the evaluation. 56 moves that are really cool to …
Small Signs

Snow
Make it stop. Make it stop. This has been a brutal winter, no other way to say it. It started in Ohio with temperatures in the teens. We headed east to see a balmier temp of the 20s But then, mommy’s worst nightmare hit. Cold and a Nor’easter. Yesterday, we only got 5 inches but …
Post Xmas
With Christmas in the rear view, we set our sight on the new year. 2018 here we come. We’re really excited to see what lies ahead. The boy himself made new year resolutions to get straight As in school and get his black belt And we made Zachary’s word of the year to be, Learning. …
Christmas Day
Christmas 2017 has been a cold one. Wind is blowing hard making it feel 5 degrees out. Luckily, it’s nice and warm inside. The boy was pretty patient waiting to open gifts. But once those flood gates were opened, A82B194B-B49F-4040-BE27-DCAE638DB420 Uncle Michael played a cruel trick on Zachary with a Clippers jersey. Someone thought for …
