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 →

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.

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 →

Daddy’s Little Girl

The past 16 weeks have been very exciting for Sam and me.  It has been especially nice to have this blog as a place that I can write things down and look back on later.  My last blog told of the ultrasound, finding out the baby's gender, and how we shared the news.  I am … Continue reading Daddy’s Little Girl →

Father’s Day Reflections -2019

As Father's Day approached, I found a few minutes to reflect.  In a world where you hear constantly about "deadbeat dads", I am lucky enough to have a dad who played a HUGE part in my life in SO many ways.  I have blogged about his musical influences on me (Which you can read here: … Continue reading Father’s Day Reflections -2019 →

The “Carlson” Boys of Summer

I took the above picture while standing in my backyard before I left for work.  Baseball practice has begun for our school district.  I always enjoy watching the kids and coaches work on plays.  Today they spent some time working on fielding a bunt and throwing to first base. As I stood there and watched, … Continue reading The “Carlson” Boys of Summer →
