A couple of weekends ago, the boys took another golf lesson. After the lesson, there was a little putting competition. And the conversation became, feel versus measured mechanics. Daddy strongly argued for Zachary to take the measured approach, count steps to the hole. Pop Pop, meanwhile, is a feel guy. So off, they went to …
We finally made our way to the local rodeo. Something about watching Cowboys (and girls) bucking bulls that makes you want to see Hee Haw. We went with awesome friends who also have a seven year old. Tyler and Zachary have been fast friends since tee ball. Fun night lots of horse riding, cattle and …
This coming week we celebrate our sixth Gotcha Day. Crazy to think of a world without him. It seems so much longer than 6 years, in a good way. And this week with Zachary at his grandparents, we just reaffirmed what a blessing he has been. It’s strange to miss the sounds of the …
We also managed to squeeze in our annual trip to Cedar Point. Perfect weather brought out big crowds. So my dad and brother did fast passes. They rode almost everything but the Dragster. The rest of us stayed on our carnival level rides, fine by me. I suspect the boy will be past this level …
On the same day, we celebrated my parent’s 70th birthday with a surprise party. Getting anything past my mom is hard, but I think we did it. My Aunt Margie led the charge with 70 balloons. We’re extremely lucky to have great family and friends in Ohio. They helped make the day special. And my …
Last weekend, we drove to Ohio to dedicate the Larry Heid Basketball courts. When my uncle died, my brother and I knew we had to do something to honor his legacy….and what better way than a through basketball court at the local park. The city and local high school were wonderful in working with us …
Last weekend, Zachary’s really good friend, Tyler, stopped by to swim. The days are so much better with good friends around. The boys played for hours in the hot sun. And the littlest of guys, wanted so badly to jump off the diving boards, but then chickened out at the last moment. It was a …
Lately, the little guy has had a ton of questions about dreams. Just this morning he awoke from such a dream. A dream of being chased around a store, only to be saved by Crazy Bella. Honestly, I’ve got nothing when deciphering that dream, except (maybe, just maybe) Bella isn’t Crazy! We’ve had discussions about …
Last weekend we also had a party at FunPlex for a karate friend. We had a really good time and I feel blessed to know such amazing people in this group. Next up, a group trip to Escape the Room…or as we all said Dint Unlock the Room For the Kids
And so it begins. Last Saturday, the boy had his first golf lesson…and it was a multi generational one. The boy bounced out of bed like a man on a mission. What are with men and golf! He carefully selected a nice polo shirt and shorts, you know you have to look the part. Upon …
