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? →

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 →

Happy 18th Birthday!

18 years ago today, I became a father for a second time, when my son, Dimitri, was born. It is truly amazing to watch them grow from this..... ....to this.... "Don't Blink" they say. True words. He was always a bit more athletic than my oldest son. He loved to play T-ball, and I got … Continue reading Happy 18th Birthday! →

Moments To Remember

I have mentioned how messes raise my anxiety levels. When the kids are playing in slime, or with play dough, or painting I am anxiously awaiting the mess. They have a sandbox that they love to play in. Naturally, the sand winds up on the side porch, in their shoes, on the driveway, in the … Continue reading Moments To Remember →

Life’s Little Moments

We've had a lot going on over the past week. I feel like I am just getting around to settling down. Easter I hope you had a good Easter, if you celebrate. My wife's family did all the Easter stuff on the Friday before. I had to work, so I missed all the fun. They … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Songs From The Backseat

I had a day off this week and had a chance to see my daughter play T-ball. Before the game, we had to take a drive down to get my son's leg braces looked at. The whole family was in the car and Ella asked my wife to play "I am a C" song. I … Continue reading Songs From The Backseat →

Tune Tuesday – Centerfield

Having been able to get out and help with my daughter's T-ball games over the past couple weeks has me in a baseball mood. My Detroit Tigers are not doing as well as I had hoped, but there is a lot of baseball left in the season. For Tune Tuesday, I picked a great baseball … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Centerfield →

First Game in the Books

I took a day off this week so that I could watch Ella's first T-Ball game. What a treat it was to see he in her uniform. You can't see in the picture, but they gave her baseball socks that went all the way up to her waist when when I put them on! Being … Continue reading First Game in the Books →

Practice Makes Perfect

We signed Ella up for T-ball a few weeks back. We got her a helmet, a glove, a bat, some practice balls, shoes and a bag to carry it all. She's been pretty pumped up about it. She finally had her first practice today. The worst thing about working when I do is that a … Continue reading Practice Makes Perfect →

If You Give A Boy A Baseball

With the baseball season in full swing, and my daughter getting ready to start T-ball, I was reminded of those great days when I helped coach my two oldest boys. I was not the best coach, that is for sure, but we had fun. I coached T-ball, coach pitched, and player pitched teams. Eventually, my … Continue reading If You Give A Boy A Baseball →
