Christmas time. The time to be with the ones you love? Well, yeah. How else would you come up with one of the most important parts of the holiday season? Traditions! You can’t be expected to invent them all by yourself, can you? You need to share them and talk about them, so that you … Continue reading All the Traditions
Tonight was Elf night. The night we watch the movie Elf as part of our annual Christmas movie watching festival. As tradition dictates, chili was served for our yearly visit with Buddy the Elf.

We have been saying for years that if the Red Sox ever play at National’s Park, we need to go. We’ve been to Fenway, seen them in San Francisco and Seattle, and went for a series of years to Camden Yards – or it’s actual name – Fenway South. The Nationals are the closest team … Continue reading Baseball, Fireworks, and Interstates
Race day is over and it went really good! We’re tired, though, and it’s only 1pm. Here’s our recap: The day started early at 5:30am. I didn’t get much sleep because I stayed up all night watching UVA get pummeled by UMBC in the NCAA Tournament. Even though I only got a little over 4 … Continue reading Medal Time

We were all pretty excited because she had been working hard to improve on her last audition results. Now she has … Continue reading Results, Risk, and a Recommendation
It’s here! Spring is finally here. We have a poppy blooming in our garden. The weather is getting warmer. There are bugs flying around. The grass needs to be cut. All the signs that spring must be here. How much longer before we start to hear – ugh, it’s so hot outside. I’ll take it, though. … Continue reading It’s Here
Yesterday our daughter went to spend the weekend with her friend, which left us with a date day. A whole day and night just for ourselves. Since it was St. Patrick’s Day weekend, the one thing on the agenda was to go out to O’Connor Brewery for their big St Paddy’s party. Bands, green, food trucks, green, dark beer, and green beer. But first… Continue reading “All the Green”
