Last weekend, we headed to Fontana Dam, North Carolina for our nephew’s wedding. I’m not gonna lie, I was dreading the long ride, 12 hours because of the boy. He’s usually a man in motion. But I have to say, he was awesome. We broke up the trip with a stop in Asheville. As we …
Odds N Ends
Someone got a Chewie jacket for his birthday and loves it. There’s been a lot of role playing already with it. Now if we could just find a young Hans Solo We may have found our turkey for Thanksgiving. A couple of days ago, we had influx of them in our backyard. Good thing we …
Boy Wonder
The last few days have been gorgeous. Perfect weather. We’ve taken full advantage of it Pool time, yes please Golf, still a work in progress Tennis, his latest conquest. Unfortunately, no pictures, but I promise the last two days have been filled with it. And yes, baseball, baseball, baseball The boy is an active one. …
B Day
Zachary officially turned 8. In many ways, it’s hard to imagine that we are here. When did my baby face toddler become a bigger kid. He’s halfway up my chest, eats like a horse, does things for himself now. In a word, he’s a lot more self sufficient I love how our relationship has matured …
July 4th
Im not going to lie, last week was busy. My parents came in town for Zachary and Grandma’s birthday. So the house was alive with action, which I love. Zachary had several playoff games which we all attended. The weather was super hot but we pushed on to the Phillies game and Pat’s…where we encounter …
7U Champs
Last Thursday, All Out played in the Championship Game for their league. They played a team that thoroughly destroyed us at the beginning of the year But this time, our boys got the better of them, winning 8-4. The boy came in as the last pitcher. Two strike outs and a walk. Love how his …
Piano Man
In between our two baseball games on Saturday, we rushed over to his piano recital. We’ve managed to miss the last couple of recitals so I was really hoping this would work out. So there we were, Z in his muddy baseball uniform, walking into a local church to play. The boy was up first …
Tourney
Last weekend, we spent our days at the ballpark. Saturday’s game was a surprise, considering they were calling for rain all day long. We woke to a cold dreary day, but no rain. So off we went at 8:30. It was a close game against the Legends. One kid in particular did all of the …
School’s Out
At long last…School’s Out For Summer. After all of the breaks (too many to count), we finally arrived at our last day of school…mind you, actual teaching ended several weeks ago…but to meet those state standards we endured endless days of movies, games, and parties. The boy was super happy. We hosted an end of …
Straight A‘s
We’re always preaching to Zachary to be an Information seeker in life. Be curious. Want to know. Always challenge yourself. Information seeking is the mantra in this household and a life long obsession. Read Walter Isaacson’s Leonardo Da Vinci and you start to understand how great minds push themselves to think and learn. At times, …
