    Raising Grampy – Chapter 14

    Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, just hanging out with Grampy. Big news at the house this week! No, I’m not able to go to Target with mommy yet. And no, Grammy hasn’t been able to visit yet. I learned how to crawl! I’ve been trying to do it for a few weeks but I just…

    When Will It All End?

    Does it seem like you wake up to a new surprise every day? I noticed this week that the Homecoming Fair in Fairhaven was being canceled and then the Cape Verdean Recognition Day Parade was canceled. To both of these announcements I found myself saying, “Already?” I’m sure the organizers had many issues to consider…

    Hi. It’s me, Oscar. You would not believe what she has done to me. What am I supposed to say, “O.M.G!” No, Grammy did not shave off all my fur because it’s falling out from this stupid medicine I need to breathe. I told you how Auntie Kat bought me a nice Red Sox Hoodie.…

    Raising Grampy- Chapter 13

    Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, just hanging out with Grampy. I hope you had a nice Easter. We did. I don’t why my mommy put all this stuff around me. That’s my bunny Fred. He has a mask on. I don’t know why. Grammy and Grampy gave me Fred. I guess Grampy went shopping right…

    Would I Be Rude?

    Would I be rude if I didn’t go back to shaking hands? I was thinking about this today. I wonder when we’ll go back to normal and I wonder if normal will change. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the medical expert we’ve seen so much of, was on a Wall Street Journal podcast this week when he…

    Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. I really can’t figure out what’s going on with the humans around here. I’ve seen so many of them walking by the house with masks on. I don’t think it’s Halloween because I don’t see any candy laying around. Trust me, I would know. Plus I noticed that…

    Raising Grampy- Chapter 12

    Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, just quarantining with Grampy. Ha! I learned that new word. I have no idea what it means but I learned it. I’m just hanging out, teaching the ole guy some baby stuff and helping to edit the blog. Grampy says someday I’ll be able to brag to my future cousins…

    Adapt and Adjust

    This is not exactly how we planned it. The plan was for me to come down to Virginia Beach to take care of my grandson once my daughter went back to work. It would give me something to do and I like to think it was easier for her to leave a, at the time,…

    Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle and I have a confession to make. No, I didn’t eat the groceries while Grammy was bringing them in. And no, I didn’t eat all the snacks in Uncle Matt ‘s room. I haven’t been completely honest with you. I’ve tried to keep things rosy and optimistic but…

    Raising Grampy- Chapter 11

    Hi everybody! It’s me, Liam, just hanging out with Grampy. Not as much but still hanging out with the guy. It’s been weird the last few weeks. I like having mommy and daddy at home more but I have noticed that we don’t go out to many places. We haven’t gone to church so I…
