Last night, we ventured out to an away baseball game in (gulph) 40 degree temperatures. The boy was bundled up pretty well with layers, but it was cold. We jumped out to a big lead 12-4. When they brought Zachary in for the 5th inning. It was a rough outing for the boy, multiple walks …
This past week, we closed the pool. Boo And the weather got really cold. We’ve been bundling up and still active outdoors…but I have to say, the pups have it right. Cool outdoors. Warm sunshine inside
Last weekend, the boys played in another tournament. This one was much cooler and windier..but the bats were hot. As in sizzling On Saturday, the boys won both of their games. Z did not pitch, but he did a great job of getting on base…between walking and hitting. On Sunday, he pitched as the closer …
Two weeks ago, we were supposed to close the pool. One quick look at the weather forecast changed that idea. Several days near 80…wooo hoo. We’ve been in the pool almost everyday. But alas, the closing date is upon us. And with one more spectacular day, we were doing laps at 7 am (gulph)…and then …

Saturday was a fast day for us. Someone ran the Dragon Run and placed 1st in age. Yeah daddy! At the same time, Facebook brought up Z’s first race. Quiet a difference. Z took his Black Belt Pre-Test. It was tense and very serious, but I think he rocked it. The Master judging him said …
On Sunday, we drove down to Rehobeth for a baseball tournament. Z missed the Saturday games, two losses, which is really unusual for this team. Sunday started early for us, up at 6 and out the door. By 9, the game had started. It was a close battle but we were winning 5-2. And …
Next Saturday, the boy does his karate pre-test for his black belt. There has plenty of reading his Karate book and learning Korean commands. And then there are the forms, self-defense, bow, and one steps to remember. Whew! Practices have been intense with plenty of lectures and yelling. Almost a no fun in Mudville feel. …
We are four weeks into 3rd Grade. I’m just gonna say, so far it is no joke. There have been multiple weekly tests and quizzes. This week on the agenda: social studies chapter test on Tuesday, reading test and spelling quiz on Thursday, and regular homework each night. We haven’t started the monthly book reports…and …
