It’s been a busy week this first one of summer vacation. It started off with a massive neighborhood water fight. The street was mostly blocked off as literally half the block was taken over by both kids and adults participating. The water fight lasted over an hour and was loads of fun for all…
I know it has been a couple of weeks. Life has been busy what with school winding down and summer ramping up. One of the things that happened was the big Tara Academy school wide end of year recital. Unfortunately none of the pictures turned out. None of them. I was so disappointed. At least…
It’s the first day of baseball season. Well, there were a couple of games yesterday but they don’t count because today is the opening day of my Seattle Mariners. Everybody seems to know “Centerfield” by John Fogerty (known perhaps better by the tagline in the chorus “Put me in coach!”) but there are many more…
A packed week full of… well, let’s jump into it. Tevye is starting to sit up on his own now. He’s five and a half months old, has two teeth and smiles a heck of a lot. Saturday saw another gymnastic competition for Déla. This time I got some video. Here’s her vault routine which…

At the Pack meeting he was given his first neckerchief as well as a Tiger Cub sticker. Thrilled? Not so much. August, on the other hand, was indeed…
I know it’s actually Sunday as I post this. Shut up. May has been an absolutely crazy month. As I have mentioned before we have moved out of our hose for the remodel. With a new baby our unpacking and settling in has been quite a bit slower than we would have liked. On top…
Happy Opening Day! Baseball season is here and fans everywhere are celebrating. Over the last couple of years there has been more and more of a push to have Opening Day set aside as a national holiday.
