It was a beautiful Memorial Day on the East Coast. We spent it with friends and family. Not a bad start to the summer season. Thankful for all of our blessings and greatful to others sacrifice to ensure our freedom

Friends

Zachary has many friends, across an array of different connections. Funny how these connections are a big part of who he has become. Nothing like watching him goof around with his buddies. They all make me smile. The boy is lucky to have so many good friends in his life. These buds help make his …

Growth

And now at 8 years old. We recently played a tournament with two teams that were really, really good..as in pitchers who threw with real heat. On Saturday, we split the games with a win and a loss. Sunday, oh boy, what an amazing two games. The first game, we played the team that destroyed …

Hello Again

Hello, it’s me. I was wondering if you’d like to meet. Much like the Adele song, we need to say I’m sorry.  This blog has been MIA for a bit. And I really can’t make excuses. So, I’ll give an update to get back to speed: Winter ended in the northeast, but not before tearing …

Great Grandmom

Sometimes in life you are gifted a great treasure.  One that is special and irreplaceable.  For us, that special person is Great Grandmom. The grand matriarch of the family and truly an ageless beauty.  We feel blessed to have her in our lives, still going strong in her 90s. Wishing her a special birthday and …

Snow

Last Wednesday, we were hit with another round of snow.  The boy, of course, was happy because school was cancelled.  He spent most of the day playing video games with his buddies.  When did that become such a thing, complete with head phones and team events! By mid-afternoon, the snow began to taper off. With …

Valentine

We spent a quiet night at home on Vakentine’s and I wouldn’t have wanted it any differently.  At home, with my two boys and three pups.  Chocolates for everyone.  Life is good. Zachary, for his part, loved the Valentine Cards from school…not the cards, mine you, but the candy  He got cards and gifts from …

Super Bowl

So last Saturday after out basketball game, the boy wasn’t hungry. He went upstairs to play with his buddies.  As day shifted into night, still no signs of hunger.  Weird, I thought. The boy is not eating. Aroubd 5, Z came downstairs to eat and while in the kitchen..the big one occurred.  A massive throw …

Basketball

It’s been a tough basketball season.  We won our first game last weekend in a nail biter.  With 40 seconds left, our left wing hit a shot to seal the win.  It was so rewarding to see how excited the boys were and after several losses was well deserved But that hat excitement was short …

Winter

Its no secret that mommy is not a winter lover. In fact, I really do believe that the artic wind is my calous enemy.  How could it be so cruel!  It’s as if we taunt each other while running.  Me seemingly running in place while 20 mph winds blast me from all directions.  Doesn’t it …
