What’s Been Up?

My apologies to you dear reader. It seems that I neglected to mention that last Friday was International Tuba Day! I actually played tuba for a short time in high school. Ella and Andrew had their final T-ball practice on Monday. It really is organized chaos and so fun to watch. They were practicing batting, … Continue reading What’s Been Up? →

It’s the Simple Things

Our lives are constantly busy. So often, we forget to enjoy the little things. That's exactly what I did this week. For example, I noticed the birds singing away as I stood outside with the dog at 6am. I made it a point to really enjoy the first cup of coffee in the morning. No … Continue reading It’s the Simple Things →

Summer’s Coming

We’re barely into spring, but the signs of summer are starting to show up. The kids will start their T-ball season in a couple weeks. They had their first practice earlier in the week. It was a tad chilly out, but they did great! They each took turns hitting into the practice net. Andrew was … Continue reading Summer’s Coming →

A Looney Afternoon

Yesterday, my daughter and I watched cartoons. We also went to the symphony. Actually, we did both at the same time. We spent the afternoon at the Detroit Opera House for Bugs Bunny at the Symphony. The day was supposed to be my friend Margaret, the kids, my wife and me. Margaret bought the tickets … Continue reading A Looney Afternoon →

Beaming With Pride

My daughter is in kindergarten. She has always seemed to be a bit ahead of the other kids. Even when she was in preschool, the teachers talked about how smart she was. She has quite the collection of chapter books and reads them all the time. I'm always surprised at the bigger words that she … Continue reading Beaming With Pride →

Yesterday I took my daughter to Urgent Care with a fever. No Covid. No Flu. No Strep. Instructions were to alternate Tylenol and Motrin. This morning the fever is still there. No more puking for my son last night. He actually slept good. That was a relief. I stayed up working on transferring some files … Continue reading Share and Share Alike →

Where The Rubber Meets the Road and the Vomit Meets the Mattress

You may recall that our jobs require my wife and I to drive 45-70 minutes to work. Then, the same amount of time back home - every day. My car just turned 93,000 miles, while my wife’s just turned 89,000. They are both a 2024 Chevy Trax. We knew we needed tires. The last couple … Continue reading Where The Rubber Meets the Road and the Vomit Meets the Mattress →

Friday Photo Flashback

I suppose I could have skipped the Friday Photo Flashback this week. I posted quite a few photos yesterday for my anniversary after all. However, I did find one photo worth sharing again. It takes us back to St. Patrick's Day of 2022. Ella is two here and Andre is about 5 months old. My … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Bling and Bingo

Last week my daughter cheered for the last basketball game of the season. She truly enjoyed learning the cheers, shaking the pom poms, and yelling in her cheerleader cone. They had said that the teams would be getting medals at the end of the night, but we had no idea that the cheerleaders would too. … Continue reading Bling and Bingo →

The Findin’ of the Green

Since when is this a thing? My daughter got up yesterday morning and ran out into the living room to see what the Leprechaun left for her. I can sum that up for you in one word - nothing. I know that all the elementary school kids make a leprechaun trap every year in an … Continue reading The Findin’ of the Green →
