The One With The New Starting Quarterback for the Patriots

 

Ever since fall of 2001 - following a hit by the NY Jet's Mo Lewis - I, like other Patriots fans, have watch Tom Brady lead the Patriots at the helm.

 

Today was the first day in 19 years that we wouldn't know that Tom Brady should (or eventually would) return as the starter for the Patriots. It was so surreal. Seeing Cam Newton for the first time was, well, interesting.

 

But, it made for an eventful day. The Patriots won 21-11 and Newton set a record for most runs by a Patriots QB ever. He certainly brings a different dynamic.

 

I knew the post-Brady era would come...and it started well. I still miss the old days, but am interested to see what the new ones hold!

The One With the Wacky Saturday

There was a lot going on today (Saturday April 27).


First, Bri and Kiff had dance class, which meant an early rise for everyone.

Then, Emmie and I went out to our weekly breakfast. However, because it was Bri's birthday party day, we also had to scramble to run errands and make sure the house was set for the pah-ty.

After, we had to get Kiff to opening day of baseball. He played left field and third. His team won 15 - 3 and he scored a run on a walk.

After that, we had Bri's party.

That was quite a day!

The One With Opening Day

Today was opening day for the Danvers Baseball and Softball season. Today, Bri and Kiff took part in the parade for their respective teams.  It was a lot of fun.

The parade stepped off at 10:00, but things started at 9:30. We marched through town, with Bri going with the Ducks to Great Oak and Kiff going with the Cobras to Tapley.

After that, Kiff and our team had a game at 12:00 at highlands. It was quite impressive. In fact, we were able to play three innings. Our team is pretty solid and stacked.

Can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings
