Zachary had his first baseball game last Friday and he was thrilled that Pop Pop was there. But the skies were angry, my friend and when the boy rounded third base…a bolt of lightening struck again. With that, there was a mad rush to the cars. Luckily, mommy could foresee this happening and parked close …
3rd Grader
We officially started school last week. And yes, we are still working into a routine. I admit, that’s the part I dread the most. School, homework, practices…we did it all our first week. At times, someone was none to happy. I can’t blame him. Rounding into school is a process. But I’m happy to …

Ice Cream

Gotcha Day
Last Monday, we celebrated Zachary’s Gotcha Day. It’s been 7 years since that little boy rocked our world. That first night was a bundle of excitement and nerves. As we walked him around the hotel, he switched between tears and intense observation. You could almost read his soul with those purposeful eyes, who are these …
Parade
So it’s been years since I last went to the Bratwurst Festival Parade. In a sense, not much has changed since that time. We watched the local high school bands and cheerleaders…including mommy’s favorite blue and gray team Zachary loved the fire trucks, while everyone else was interested in his Korean squat. How do they …
Larry
Yesterday, we did a three on three basketball tourney to raise scholarship money for local kids. It’s been months of planning. And we stressed a bit with the amount of teams, but to be honest it turned out perfectly for a first time event. There were girls playing boys, a kid from MN that dropped …
