Happy 4th!!

We were lucky enough to be invited to Joan and Vinny's "little slice of heaven" as I call it for the 4th. Ev had no fun - LOL! I think he would live in the water if he could! He seems to have the ocean in his blood - loved swimming, surf boarding, fishing, looking for snails (which we kept 3 as pets - they lasted about 2 days!) It was a great day and it feels as if summer is officially here. Looking forward to more beach time in the upcoming weeks, as vacation approaches quickly and our family starts to arrive! HOORAY SUMMER!!!!!!

Summer's Here!!

June Happenings & Proud Moments!

I have been walking around the house smiling about Evan for the past few weeks now. I didn't think I could love him or be more proud of him than I already was, but he has just amazed us this past year - especially these last couple of weeks with some of his accomplishments. This spring has been a turning point for Evan. He has a new sense of self-confidence and has done things that in the past he wouldn't even try. Here are a few pictures and videos from recent events in June. Boating/tubing at the Camp (Evan and Sophia's first tubing ride!); Last baseball game of the season; Kindergarten Author's Tea; and Children's Sunday at church. I will throw in a couple of Sophia too so she doesn't feel left out. She's quite the little lady these days, having tea parties with her dollies!

Happy Mother's Day!!

To our friends and family who are moms - hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! Here are a couple of pictures of the kids today in Boston and at the aquarium. They were extremely sweet and made my day very special.

Sophia was clapping at the harbor seals as they swam by!

Ev actually got to touch a stingray (I did too - very slimy!!)

Baseball Opening Weekend!

Here are few pictures from Holden Baseball Opening Weekend...including the big parade and opening ceremony and Ev's first game and first "at bat" of the season!
