On the heels of his first Penance back in February, Reid received the Sacrament of Holy Communion on a Saturday morning at our church.  Father Bill, who is very good with the kids in general, did a stellar job (much as he did 4 years ago when he presided over Bobby’s big day).  All of the...

Not only was Wednesday May 9th Bob’s father’s birthday, it was also the day the folks at Dynamics World in the UK rolled out their list of the Top 100 most influential people in the Microsoft Dynamics space (check out who came in at #83).  This was the 2nd consecutive year Bob was nominated but the first year he actually made the list, and since the Microsoft Dynamics space consists of five different applications, people...

Bobby had a highly enjoyable spring baseball league near where we live, so here is a final blog post with pictures from his ‘Astros’ team.  Our family would like to also publicly thank Coach Tony & Coach Christian, as well as all the other fathers who helped this team during the season, for their time and guidance.  While this league is more competitive than the fall league, the boys are still the first priority at every practice and...

As mentioned in a blog post going back to July 2011, Tampa got a chance to host college hockey’s final four championship tournament, and from every article I saw, the hosting committee impressed the NCAA and one day, hopefully, this tournament will come here again.  The semi-finals were played on Thursday (Union...

This is one of those blog postings that deviates from the boys and focuses on other family-related items.

 

In January, your webmaster/host gave in to the social media gods and joined Facebook (click the Facebook icon below to find my page if you have an account).  Many of my business colleagues have Facebook accounts, so I decided it was time to add it to the list (I am already on Twitter as well as LinkedIn, both of which are linked via the...

Our friend Stephanie gets up really super early each weekday morning to forecast the weather on the local ABC affiliate, WFTS.  Each year in February when the schools are closed here for “Fair Day”, she does a live shot from the FL State Fairgrounds where this annual event is held.  Well, this year the boys got to be on TV with her and she got us a copy of the segment so...

In our February 18th blog post, we included a photo of Reid receiving a pair of first row club seat tickets to an upcoming Tampa Bay Lightning game.  Well, while the home team didn’t win, we had a great time,...

Spring baseball league tryouts were in January, practices began in February, and regular season games are in full swing now that March is here and MLB Spring Training has begun here in Florida (if you’re not down here, you should be).  Reid decided not to play, but Bobby has continued into the more competitive spring league here at home with the Astros, so we snapped a few photos from this past weekend’s contest. ...

Reid had a Saturday birthday in 2012, which meant he had a very full weekend.  Saturday was his official day, and Grandma & Grandpa came up from Ft. Myers and spent the weekend with us (and Reid got to open some birthday presents once they arrived).  Sunday morning we headed to Chuck E Cheese for his party, just like last year, and invited about a dozen...

Saturday morning at our church, Reid received the Sacrament of Penance.  He did a great job, was one of the best-dressed kids there, and his parents are (obviously) proud of him.  Father Bill, our Pastor, was the most popular priest with the kids and Reid waited over 30 minutes in a long, long line for him.  Once finished, he gave the priest a hug and emerged with a big grin on his face.  Click the photo on the left for a larger image and enjoy the others from this big event in...
