Fearless!

First swimming, now diving.... a fearless toddler makes for a nervous mama!

Swimming

This summer should be fantastic....

Rounding third and heading for home.....

I am almost finished with the school year and looking forward to a summer of leisure and travel with my favorite little man.  Spring has been busy....

Sleeping patterns are improving.

Soccer season is wrapping up.

Hockey is still T's passion...

Still loves running, thanks Coach Frank

Spending lots of time with the cousins

Easter with the grandparents

And friday night play dates with our best buddies

who share a common heritage and cool single mamas

Adventures.....

We don't remember days,

we remember moments.

My house needs painting.

My dryer is slowly failing.

I have many 1/2 completed projects in the basement.

My to do list is long....

And yet when given a chance, we take off

to visit friends, or the beach, or any interesting adventure.

Sometimes I wonder if we should stay put, fix the house, buy a dryer.

Instead, I always seem to choose the adventure.

Spring Break in Baltimore

excluding the sick visit to the ER, it was a lovely time.

Skating Elephants?

How to really confuse a child......

2 weeks ago, we went to the circus..... fun times were had by all.

Every day for the last 2 weeks,

as we drive past the arena on the way to and from work

T screams "look mom, circus".

Last night, T went to the NCAA Men's Hockey regional finals at the same arena

with his cousin Luke and uncle Peter.  

This morning he told me... 

Mom! the circus floor has ice now!

Hmmmm....

I wonder if the skating elephants in his head are playing hockey?!

Hockey on Skates!

Hockey is played in our house all the time.  He plays in socks, he has a net
and multiple sticks.... but oh the excitement to play 'real hockey' on the ice.
I am so impressed with his improvement over the last 6 weeks....
HOWEVER
I will not miss walking into the rink and putting on a coat...
Bring it on spring.... we are ready to trade in the skates for soccer cleats!

Watch carefully....I love his perseverance.

Latest Happenings...

Latest happenings around here.....

A warm week followed by cold week-

I am done with the polar vortex-

We have checked potty training off the to do list

It was less painful than I anticipated, it pays to wait!

The hockey obsession is a beast of its own,

the Winter Olympics was a great source of daily games-

Fun fact: for the last 2 weeks a

the 'game of the day' replayed every afternoon-

Today, T told me he changed his name...

What is his new name you ask? 

Zamboni ....huh? 

Yes, Zamboni Hockey Stick to be exact.

We survived the sugar rush holiday on February 14th

We have had many a indoor play date:

getting creative!

and finally...

Skating Progress!

SKATER DUDE

Looking forward to all things S P R I N G !
