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 …
We’ve really felt jilted with the wet, dreary September. Thank goodness, that month has been put to rest. Hello October with your beautiful sunshine and warmer weather. We made a quick holiday weekend run to OC for one more beach trip. It has not disappointed. The Fall Festival was fun to attend and a great …
Z is a pretty active kid, but beyond any sport that he may play…education still rules the house. It’s been a transition this year, full of multiple tests per day, homework each night and now a book report. Z is doing fairly well, but needs work on a certain subject, reading comprehension. The boy reads …
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 …

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 …
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 …
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 …
