Our wonderful, amazing, creative, patient, stellar niece Erica was over for a while yesterday and she captured this moment of our oldest three boys… Connor, Andy, Brady. I couldn’t help but smile when I saw it.
She also made them octopus hot dogs for lunch. She’s the best.
Andy and Brady were watching a science-type show on Animal Planet today. I was listening to it in part, but I was also doing some work online… The program was all about how animals seek different plants and herbs for medicinal purposes.
I find that sort of thing not-so-thrilling, but my boys were glued to the [...]
I can’t help myself. I love my kids… I love baseball… I love brightly colored summer photos… So, I just can’t stop. My sister-in-law Heather took these photos Saturday at Opening Day. I’m posting them here for all eternity!
She got many more of Andy and Brady…
Brady played first base for the first inning. Doesn’t he [...]
Andy and Brady’s coach’s wife is the league photographer… She did a GREAT job capturing so many cool moments of the day. She definitely got some better shots than I did… including some of Andy and Brady!
This is the majority of Andy and Brady’s team with two of their coaches (Nate’s the third, but he [...]
I have to head off to a baseball board meeting soon, so I don’t have time to give you the full recap, but I will say this:
We had a GREAT, AMAZING, WONDERFUL time at Wrigley Field on Sunday.
We ended up riding the South Shore train into the city, then catching the Red Line portion of [...]
We’re thrilled. Baseball season is here again. My boys had their first practice last night!!
Connor’s giddy that his Dad is his coach… Andy and Brady are also giddy, because Nate is their assistant.
They were so hyper yesterday that they used a lot of energy before practice. By the time we got home after [...]
I just heard Brady scream… so I went to investigate.
By the time I got to him, it was more of a squeal. Part amusement, part disgust, part delight.
Andy had his arms wrapped around Brady from behind. He was chanting, “I’m going to hug you… FOOOOOOREEEEEEVVVEEEEERRRRR.”
Someday they’ll realize how “uncool” that is, but for now, I [...]
The weather outside today is simply gorgeous! I couldn’t pass up this opportunity, so I surprised the kids by squeezing in a trip to the park, somewhere between lunch and nap time. Seemed like the perfect plan to take advantage of 74 degrees and sunny. Plus, the public school kids were still being held prisoner [...]
Since I’m the player agent for my boys’ baseball league, I get to be among the first to know the team assignments. My kids are giddy to “finally” know which teams they’re on this year.
Nate and Connor will be birds this year, orange and black ones! They’ll be on the Orioles T-Ball team. Connor, who [...]
My kids beg to hold Grayson all the time. He obliges, much to their delight.
Last night, we were all relaxing at the same time (it’s rare!) I was snuggling sweet baby Gray on the couch and Andy moved to sit next to me. “Mom, can I hold Grayson?” he asked sweetly. The boy, though only [...]
