Week in Review – We Need Two

After an almost 5 hour rain delay, my Tigers dropped game 3 of the ALDS. The Mariners beat them 8-4 yesterday. If they lose this afternoon, they are done. If they win, they still have to take game 5. I am still hopeful for them to advance to the ALCS. I doesn't look good, though. … Continue reading Week in Review – We Need Two →

What’s Been Going On

This past weekend was a busy one.  Once again Ella had soccer.  Watching these gals play is so fun.  I'm not sure why they all want to be the goalie. At one point over half the team was in front of the goal.  Ella had her back to the other team because she was chatting … Continue reading What’s Been Going On →

Catching Up

I realize that it's been a bit since I gave a life "update." I feel like I haven't had two minutes to even think about the past week or so. Here are some highlights... The weather warmed up a bit last week and the kids were anxious to get outside. My wife bought them something … Continue reading Catching Up →

Life’s Little Moments

Life just never seems to slow down.  sometimes I get to the end of the week and even after doing all kinds of things, I feel like I've accomplished nothing.  The last two weeks have been really messed up for me. I took Thursday and Friday off last week for Ella's surgery.  The week before … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Friday Photo Flashback

Last week at soccer, one of the drills that we did with the team was like bowling. We set up cones with one in front, two behind that, and three in the back. The kids had to throw the ball overhand and try to knock down the cones. Then they had to kick the ball … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Life’s Little Moments

On Friday of last week, we had temperatures in the mid to upper 70's. On Saturday, they were in the upper 30's and low 40's. There was also a lot of wind, so it felt colder than that. This was the first day of soccer for Andrew and me. He was so excited that I … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Friday Photo Flashback

Today's photos are not only a flashback, but they tie into a current situation as well. You may remember that last fall, Andrew was playing soccer. I say "playing soccer," but it is more of a game oriented introduction to the game. There were days that he loved playing and days that he hated playing. … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Friday Photo Flashback

Three years ago today, at 7:07pm, Sam and I welcomed our son, Andrew, into the world. There was plenty of excitement when he was born, that's for sure. It was like a whirlwind. Three years later, and that whirlwind has yet to slow down! Right from the get go, he's kept up on our toes … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Life’s Little Moments

Looking back at the past seven days, it's been busy! Still Kickin' We had some issues with the soccer league that we signed Andrew up for. The communication prior to the actually first day was a mess. Do we need a uniform or not? Will the coach be there or not? It was not very … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Life’s Little Moments

It seems odd to do a week in review "highlights" post on Thursday, but it really is the day that I get an extra minute or two to look back, so here goes. Kicking Kid While the days leading up to it were extremely unorganized, Saturday morning Andrew got to play soccer. It was quite … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →
