Here comes the sun…finally! Today, a beautiful 80 degree is on tap. Holler! This definitely makes me super happy Two hour baseball practice and weekend tournament not so much. The boy keeps us hopping. In better news, it looks like the Larry Heid 3 on 3 basketball tourney is a go for the summer …

As the Playground Turns
Yesterday, Zachary came home upset. At first, he threw a tantrum and refused to eat (gulph)…so I knew something big was up. He didn’t talk about it for most of the night. So I patiently waited to when he wanted to discuss. Sure enough, at bedtime, he brought it up. It seems that a group …
Baseball
This week was the official start of baseball. We couldn’t be happier with the decision to go with the travel team instead of Little League. He’s going to learn this year and the discipline is fabulous. It’s all about the fundamentals. On Monday, he was indoors working the batting cages Friday was outdoors working on …
Easter
Easter was a fast one. Z was up early and excited to see what the Easter Bunny had left. Luckily for him, he must have been a good boy as eggs were inside and outside the house…although someone was quiet disappointed that the outside eggs had no chocolate inside them After church, we headed to …
Good Friday at the Capitol
Today, we spent the morning in DC. The day called for rain, but we woke to a bright warm one. When the boy asks for a room with a view, he gets one…as in the top floor with amazing views of nighttime DC….or day time people watching. See how tired everyone looks mommy… We also …
Spring Break

The extras
Here’s a behind the scene look at yesterday. These kids are all so great…and we love the parents. It makes the ride even more enjoyable. I
GRIT
The last couple of weeks, Zachary has been gearing up for his state karate championship. There’s been extra lessons with Master Lindsay, working outdoors in the cold, and fine tuning little movements. The boy was ready. And we let him know, we didn’t care about any trophies, but rather that he gave his …
Puppy Love
For his birthday, Daddy received a special gift. It seems that someone else had a boyhood crush on his favorite stuffed animal. And somehow, after twenty plus years, this thing has made its way to our house, a bit ragged but fully intact. So as you can imagine, Zachary and I couldn’t wait to have …
St Patty Day
This year, mommy signed up to help with Zachary’s St Patty party. We elected to do bingo, banners and a scavenger hunt for our activities. And somehow, mommy became responsible for getting the activities together Which, in retrospective, would have been fine if I had bought the Shamrock clues…but no, that looks simple to …
