Fashion Show

This week, mommy visited the little guy’s class for parent participation day. We have an awesome teacher. She had a fashion show where the kids wore different customs and had to get up in front of everyone to describe them.  So in other words, the boy got his first exposure to public speaking. I wasn’t …

76ers

Lastweekend, we headed down to the stadium to watch the Sixers play Cleveland.  Can’t take the Ohio out of mommy. I had to watch LeBron. Haven’t watched him play live since high school. The little guy was more into the food. Daddy came back with a cherry water ice…and as expected it went all over …

Sahara Sam

Today, mommy and the little guy headed out for our own adventure.  We headed to Sahara Sam for some indoor water fun. Someone really loved the big bucket dumping water on him.  Mommy was more into the slides.  We laughed the whole way down them  

Franklin Institute

Yesterday we headed to the Franklin Institute.  Started our day with the robot exhibit. And the first robot we ran into was from South Korea There was a big telescope where we looked at the sun A big heart that daddy and Zachary ran through And, of course, an old favorite, Trains to explore I …

Trick

We celebrated Halloween on Monday. And someone was super stoked..as in awake at 5 am. Mommy went over to school to watch his parade. As soon as he saw me there was a big MOMMY. But the main event was trick or treating with his buds from the neighborhood. They rushed from house to house …

World Champ

Zachary competed last Saturday in the IMA World Championship. We’ve been practicing for weeks.  So we were more than Grit ready Ladies, we now have a 1st place champion in the house. When asked how that felt, the boy responded “I don’t know” so clearly success did not go to his head..either that or he …

Today is Mom Mom’s birthday.  We are wishing her an awesome day and even better year.  Zachary is so lucky to have you in his life.  You help to make his life special.  It’s hard to put into writing what an amazing person that she is, but here are a few quotes that come close: …

Cleveland Rocks

Growing up a Cleveland fan has never been easy. Some would say there was a stink to it.  But alas, things have started to turning Cleveland’s way.  Witness the banner ceremony..with Queen playing in the back ground (mommy rocked the little guy’s world this week with an old Queen concert)…and now he routinely sings We …

Grit

This weekend Z competes in his 2nd karate championship. And we couldn’t be more proud.  He’s the only 6 year old blue belt doing Form 5. And it really is a testament to the work he has put into it. We’ve spent the last week talking about confidence and grit.  What they are finding is …

Summer Petals

Last week, the last of mommy’s roses were in their spender.  I’ve already started the winter prep work for most of my flowers. But as I turned my efforts to the roses, a part of me stopped and rejoiced in their beauty. There stood 3 traditional roses in full bloom. A strong rebellion to all …
