First off, we had a wonderful Mother’s Day. Great weather. Pool for the kids (isn’t it amazing that kids don’t fret the cold). An incredible dinner. And the sound of family all around. Not much more you could ask for…but if we’re asking, shouldn’t Mother’s Day extend for the week? I mean, the work that …

Week in Rewind: May 12
It’s Mothers Day Weekend, which got me to thinking that I am truly blessed to have the little guy in my life. Crazy how fast time goes because it seems like yesterday that we brought him home. And I was terrified, excited and crazy out of mind with sleep deprivation (a wicked time zone change …
Week in Rewind: May 3
What’s faster than fast. Quicker than quick. More nimble than a gazelle…ok, not quiet, but Daddy sure has some quicks. Last weekend, Mama and Daddy completed our first sprint tri of the season. And Daddy placed 3rd in his age group. Pretty darn good for an old man, lol. Meanwhile, Mama finished as the 3rd …
Week on Rewind: April 25
It really is amazing to watch the learning growth of a child. Some of it is funny: such as a word that is a tiny winy bit off. Mama, I pacifically want that one. kankahoos like to jump. Sometimes he gets these deeply focused eyes as he tries to figure it out. Which …
Happy Belated Easter
It was a crazy fast Easter for this household. A true gift arrived, my parents and two uncles. And someone was super stoked. As in, up before sunrise to get the day started. “Mama, who needs sleep when there are so many things to see and do.” We did our traditional egg coloring, and laughed …
Week in Rewind: April 11
This week, we affirmed that there really is prima donna in the house. And no, it wasn’t the little guy (although, now that I think of it). Little Miss Mattie was on full display this week. We decided to get the dogs teeth cleaned and dropped off Trojan and Mattie. Trojan instinctively went into her …
Week in Rewind: April 5
My baby is officially a mini soccer player. And let me tell you, Mama had great hope when the boy charged onto the field like a pro. He kicked that little soccer ball up and down the field. And down the big hill MULTIPLE times (which forced Mama to go get it). Why, oh why, …
Week in Rewind: March 30
Giddy Up! Last weekend we found a new playground. And someone was super stoked. The little guy’s future elementary school totally put in two new playgrounds. And the boy romped around both in your bliss, showing off his mad playground skills. I feel the need for speed. That’s right, Daddy finished 2nd overall in a …
Week in Rewind: March 21
It’s official, the little guy had a great week. He started on Saturday with a ride on his big boy bike. Let me set the picture. Our development sits across the street to an awesome park with a biking/running/walking lane…and on the weekends, the soccer fields are packed. As we strolled over as a family, …
Happy Birthday to the amazingly awesome Uncle Dick
As I get older, I often like to look at the character traits of good souls. I pray that the little guy will take the best of these traits and become a better person. For my Uncle Larry, it’s taking a lemon (polio at a young age) and making lemonade. For my parents, it’s giving …
