O Brothers, My Brothers, Where Have You Been?!

October 2021

It has been three years since we were last in the same room together. All three of us that is. I’ve seen Bobby once or twice a year. And seen George here and there. But never together. So it was great for the three of us to get together with our families.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop to take a look around once in a while, you might miss it.

October 2018

This photo of us was taken at George’s, three years ago. I guess, at 41 years old, this photo was the first time that I realized I was actually shorter than my brothers. How freaking strange that I never realized this!!

There is nothing like family. I hope that my children grow up and stay close to each other. My brothers and I may not agree on everything. In fact, on many things we disagree. But we love each other. And we help each other when we need it. And it gives me such comfort to have these great men in my life. I admire them both. They have forged their own paths in life. And they are respected. And they have worked hard. And they are great dads.

What Up, Cuz?

Brody was born in February. But, because of Covid and the fact that Bobby lives in New York, we had not met him yet. Until now. Bobby came in town for a Ravens game. And we all met up at the grandparents’ place. All of the cousins enjoyed getting acquainted. Lila got to meet Uncle Bobby and Aunt KC. And Brody got to meet all of his cousins and aunt and uncle. It was pretty special. Brody was so inquisitive.

Brody is mobile! Lila not yet so

Noah’s lax fans

Noah had a lax game last night. His grandparents came out to watch him play. Before his stroke, Noah’s grandfather, Pop Pop, coached him in lacrosse for several years. And since his stroke three years ago, it has been rare that he has been out to watch any of the kids play sports, where he was super engaged with them all before. Last night, he was very excited to watch Noah play, and was thrilled afterwards at how well the team did and how well Noah did. Noah scored two goals.

As always, baby sis was out smiling and watching her big bro play lacrosse. It was cold, but Lila bundled up and watched the whole game with mom.

Maggie – Beth Tfiloh meet

Maggie ran her 3rd cross country race yesterday. She finished 5th overall and was again the first female finisher. She finished in 15:17. Her coach told her to start slow and work people on the hills. His plan worked, and she did very well. She passed people on the hills, and found herself quickly up at the front group. She came into the finish in 5th place, about a minute behind the top runner, and 30 seconds from the 2nd runner. Her times have so far improved in every meet so far.

Maggie at the start. Her coach strategized that she should go out slow at the beginning.

Maggie – GCS meet

Maggie sprinting to the finish

Maggie ran in her second cross country meet on October 7th. It was at Glenelg Country School and five different schools competed – GCS, St Pauls, Gerstell, Beth Tfiloh, and St Johns. Maggie was the first female finisher with a time of 15:17.

Maggie started the race fast. She went out with the top runners. She found herself pressing against a pack of St Pauls boys runners. And she hung with that pack.

As she came through the first lap, she was right behind the GCS girl who was in the lead at the time. When they went out of sight, Maggie was still behind her. But when they came out from the back side of the campus, Maggie was right on the heels of her teammate, BB. And had taken the top female spot. And as she went uphill, Maggie grinded and kept gaining ground on the runners ahead of her.

Eden cheered Maggie on at every turn and went up on the course to cheer Maggie around the last loop. As she rounded the last turn, Maggie put on the jets and almost caught the boy way in front of her on a sprint to the finish line.

Maggie showed guts and determination throughout the entire race. She kept a great attitude and persevered. I captured a video of her coming through the last turn and her sprint to the finish line.
