I’m not sure how the really good coaches do it. Â I don’t mean working with kids – Â I love that part. What I do mean, is remembering everything you want to teach the kids so they can become better. Â I’m working as part of a team so it’s a wonderful experience since I remember one [...]
Posts Tagged ‘Friends’
Yesterday, a friend of ours popped out of the blue via Facebook. It’s great to hear from old friends and see how their families are doing. Via this friend, we found a few other old friends too. This is great as I haven’t really been using Facebook for anything more than playing games with Kathy. [...]
Enjoy some family and friends time!
Here is a short video that I made using my new Flip Video Recorder. Image quality is fine for the tubes so enjoy. Check out the link: 4th of July 2008 Video for the video or browse to our Gallery (see top of page for link) and then choose Video and then 2008 to find [...]
Lunar Eclipse
We went to dinner with Kathy’s folks tonight and it seemed cloudy before the sun set so we figured we were not going to get to see the eclipse tonight. We had settled into watching a movie before bedtime when we got a call from our neighbor telling us we were missing the show. We [...]
I’m Superman…ok maybe not!
Maybe I’m not Superman, but I did swoop in an save the day today. A neighbor and friend was very worried about another neighbor’s cat that was stuck in a tree. Apparently, the neighbor that owned the cat tried some pretty silly things to get the cat down and chased the cat higher up. When [...]
Back to normal?
I think I’m starting to feel human again. It’s been slower than normal because I couldn’t just take a day or two and crash and recuperate/heal. We’ve got new windows going in and other normal life things so I’ve still been busy. I even had a doctor’s appt (it was a previously scheduled annual checkup). [...]
PTSA Meeting
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this but I’m the Treasurer this year at the boys school. Originally, I thought it would be no big deal since I was the Treasurer at their pre-school before for 2 years. Man, was I over simplifying things. This school is about 6 times the size and we have [...]
Xander had his first overnight…
Wow! What a big milestone. As the cliche goes, they grow up so fast. I know it’s cliche but from a parenting perspective, these milestones just keep coming and coming so it always seems so true. I mean, he’s stayed overnight at his Omi and Opa’s (Kathy’s folks) both with his brother and by himself [...]
To Retrospect or Not?
I was having a moment this morning while I was working out. All in all it was pretty wierd. I think it was because, having a moment to think while I’m focused on working out and while I have a movie blasting (which I always do) just seems unlikely. That is too many things that [...]
4th of July Pictures
Here are some shots of the annual 4th of July Bike Parade in our neighborhood. Here are some shots of our 4th of July celebrations. Our city has outlawed fireworks so we substitute the Coke and Mentos fountains which work pretty well.
Mitchell and his friends
I couldn’t resist these pictures. These are pictures of Mitchell and his friends. You can tell that Mitchell just loves his friends. Mitchell and Galen (his best friend!) Mitchell with Hannah and Miles Mitchell with Tessa (he loves her!!!)
School’s Out for Summer!
Everybody, sing it! Ok, I can’t help it even though it’s not me in school anymore. That song just sticks in my brain this time of year. Anyway, Xander and Mitchell have their last day of school today. Pretty silly to have a last day of school on a monday to be sure. Even sillier [...]
Little League Pictures
I’ve been a little slow at posting this but Kathy put up the boy’s first Little League pictures last week. Check the gallery tab at the top of this page. Here are a couple of my favorite: Mitchell with his team and showing off his new red mit. Xander at bat. Look at that form!
Little League Opening Day – Cancelled!
Saturday was opening day. When you picture opening day for a baseball season, you picture a bright sunny day with people coming to cheer their teams on. For Little League, you picture the same thing but instead of just a team to cheer on, they come to cheer on the children. America has much of [...]
Little League
We’ve decided to sign Xander and Mitchell up for Little League. Xander will be in AA and Mitchell in T-Ball. This is actually the first organized sporting activity that either has participated in. They have been in camps that have been training and general survey in nature but not really competitive. Our introduction so for [...]
