• Father’s Day

    It was a day of doing the things dads do. Dr. Peds was away at baseball with Mr. TOF in the morning for the last game that his team played in a tournament. After they arrived home we spent a little time with our neighbors on top of the hill…

  • Baseball Scenes

    Baseball season was off to a happy and busy start for Mr. TOF, but unfortunately last Monday he broke his wrist in a bicycle crash on the way to rowing, and now his summer plans are looking quite different! However, enjoy these scenes from a baseball game at the school…

  • The Banana Runs

  • The Extra-Extravert

    While we were in Ely for our baseball weekend, the ever social Peanut Maximus was busy interacting with anyone and everyone. One of the baseball games was in a normal field where there was space for him to play (excellent!) and three of the games were in more of a…

  • Not Asleep

    Mr. TOF, Peanut Maximus and I spent the weekend in Ely. Mr. TOF had a baseball tournament, and since four games were spread out over two days, we elected to spend the night at a hotel rather than trying to drive back and forth, since long drives with a small…
