Yesterday, we officially started fifth grade as a remote learner. His teacher is young and energetic, which I appreciate. I have to say, the first two days have gone pretty seamlessly. They are doing a combination of live teaching and pre-recorded lessons. With that said, you can tell it’s going to be a year of …

Labor Day Weekend
I’m not going to lie, I hate watching the end of summer. It’s not that I don’t like fall, I do…but I know what season comes after….and with that season, I’m on less than friendly terms. I just know my arch nemesis, Artic Wind is waiting to pounce. We spent Labor Day Weekend, down at …
Home Run Kid
It’s been an interesting baseball year, for sure. The summer has seen many highs and lows. And this year, Zachary played on a new team so there was that element of learning too. Each game, we asked Zachary to list his goals for the game. Most of the time, they are the same, hit a …
Happy 15th Trojan
This Sunday, Trojan turns 15 or in adult years, 105. She is a remarkable dog and clearly is a fighter. Almost four years ago, she was diagnosed with MVD, which means that she has a flapping value that is no longer attached. She was quickly put on medicine and a healthier diet. MVD be damn, …
Odds N Ends
There has been a lot of baseball the last few weeks. And the boy definitely has been working. This week, we added an old friend to his team. Z has played with him for two years and then we left our old team. Now, he is joining our team. Zachary couldn’t be happier. On Tuesday, …
It’s the Great Waterfall, Charlie Brown
Last weekend, we finally had a baseball free weekend. And mommy wanted to get out in nature and see beautiful waterworks. So after much fretting, we opted for the “Best Waterfall in NJ”. That should have our first clue. After an hour and half of driving, we found ourselves up by NYC. Mommy was none …
Humble Pie
Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-give. Be careful–John Wooden There are always life lessons in sports, if you are willing to listen and learn. The boy is getting a healthy dose of it with his pitching. It’s been and up and down year. A few weeks ago, …
Long Ball
It’s been a weird baseball season. For one, it started late due to Covid 19. In fact, we were little surprised there would be a season at all. But alas, baseball prevailed. For Zachary, it’s been a new team and a new beginning. He started the season in the one spot hitting, but after a …
The Sports Continues
Baseball is officially back. We had our first game last Wednesday. Thanks for the grandparents for coming to cheer him on in warm weather. Zachary started at shortstop, played a little second base and right field too. This is the one thing that we love about his new team. He gets the chance to play …
Double Digits
I know this is going to be a hard post for me. It’s hard to summarize how much this guy means to us. He has blessed us beyond words. Sure, there are days when I miss my little boy. The goofiness. The tiny voice when he talked. His complete need for everything related to us. …
