Self-explanatory.
It took almost two seasons but we finally made it out as a family to watch the Hartford Yard Goats at Dunkin' Donuts Park. I've taken the boys a few times and we all caught a UConn baseball game earlier in the year, but we've never witnessed the glory of the Goats as a family. … Continue reading Go check out the Goats!
It's finally baseball season. And with it comes a fresh start for all 30 teams and hope for fans of each. It means warmer weather. It means tiny gloves and uniforms that is little league. And finally and definitely last, it means sideline parenting. In little league, where kids are as young as five, they're not-so-quietly present. … Continue reading Sideline Parenting: The Good and Bad
"Like sands through an hourglass, these are the days of our lives." No, being an at-home dad hasn't got me watching soaps every afternoon while the little guys sleep, but this quote is becoming more and more aprapos, maybe? Shit, I don't even know if it makes sense in the context I'm trying to use … Continue reading Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday

I know it was difficult to pin either of them because I used the Google to find out "best WWF winning percentage" and they were … Continue reading Diaper Change or Wrestling Match?
We were down in the playroom the other night and Nolan was drawing roller coasters on his white board. He had already drawn a few but they clearly didn't meet his expectations. So then came this dual coaster: He asked me which one I liked better, so I told him the one with the sideways … Continue reading “Well, marker really.”
Well when we had our first son, the thought of him taking a gymnastics class was not even in the realm of my thinking. I had never even given it a thought as I'd chalked up baseball as the would-be sport de choix (not sure why I chose to use a French translator for 'sport of choice'). … Continue reading Gymnastics, huh?
Tomorrow Nolan begins his baseball career. It's the MudHens' first game and it's gonna be hilarious!
Twins at Brewers the free Game of the Day on MLB.tv. So I'm watching. Even though I care zero about either team.
