For many, many year, the Eagles were the professional sports team that I hated the most. Like any good New York Giants fan, I despised them almost as much as I loved my beloved G-Men. Randall Cunningham was my scourge for many years as he always seemed to find some […]
As I mentioned before, every year, while on vacation, the boys seem to hit new stages in development. I’ve also mentioned in the past that Matthew had been slow in his speech development and is very difficult to understand, at times. During this years vacation, it seems, Matthew has taken […]
A friend of ours once said, as she was struggling to stop procrastinating, get in the shower and then pack, “Vacation is over…I’m just going to sit here in my own stink.” That about sums up my feelings right now. I’ve written and re-written a couple of paragraphs talking about […]
Yesterday, Andrea and I suddenly realized that Matthew was saying “bathing suit” pretty clearly and correctly. It wasn’t long ago that he really struggled with his “s” sound and so he would say “bading doop”. ..it was very cute and, as proud as I am of how well he has […]

A couple of weeks ago, Andrea finished making dinner and sat down with the boys to eat. Benjamin looked at his food and said, “Is this what we are having?” with displeasure in his voice. We, like many, many parents around the world, had been having a particular hard time […]
