Rugrats

It has ended. T-ball season is over. Even though it was only two days a week, it seems like we have been living and breathing t-ball during this month long season. It has been a ton of fun for not just Drew… but all the fans that have come to each and every game. Da Coach has worked hard managing […]

From birth until Drew was 3, he spent approximately five days a week in a “school” setting from 9ish to 5ish. They were long, full days. After I quit my job, it seemed extreme to cut his day from a 5 day a week 9-5 one to a 3 day a week 9-11:30. So I extended his day until 1, […]

My caller ID reflected the school/camp calling today. My heart went into my throat. There was a time that that number reflected news that was never good. At the end of my working days, almost everyday someone was calling me. Sometimes they would call me to tell me that Gabby was having health concerns (constantly throwing up). And other times […]

As a parent, you have a tremendous amount of influence in your child’s life – for a long time you are the only influence. As the years go by, the kids get older and they start to find their own way.

Earlier I blogged about how Drew took a generic sports class and his teacher told me that he was really exceptional at basketball for his age. I was so proud of him and happy for him because he has such a passion for sports. We have recently started a new chapter in his life. The world of organized league sports. […]

It’s been a whirlwind of birthdays in this house, starting with Adam’s in May and ending with Gabby’s in June. And although they have been tons of fun, I’m happy that the next birthday in our family is in December. My eagerness for the birthday season to be over has nothing to do with yesterday because it was so great! […]

You have been Mama’s little girl from the get go. Maybe it was because Drew was such a Daddy’s boy. But whatever the reason, we clicked from the very beginning. In some ways I think you have gotten the best of me. With Drew, switching modes and becoming a mom was challenging at times and it took some getting used […]
