West Hill Dam

Today we took a trip to West Hill Dam with Isabelle and TJ.  We stopped to see their new home in Whitinsville first and then spent a beautiful day at the dam.  We had never been before but it was perfect.  Quiet, clean, peaceful and small enough to keep an eye on the kids from one place.  The kids had so much fun swimming and playing in the sand and actually gave Jenna and I a bit of a chance to catch up and chat...amazing!  And TJ was my little pal, such a little love bug.  It was a great place, close-by to spend a hot day without traveling all the way to the beach.  Thanks for the fun, Belle & TJ!

Fun Day, Monday!

Many Monday's are spent catching up from the weekend (aka doing laundry) or preparing for the week ahead (aka going grocery shopping).  But not today.  Today was all about fun!  I ran to the grocery store quickly (aka on my own!) this morning before heading to drop off Bruce's car for new tires.  I had the boys in the car already so after we dropped Daddy at home, we went to the playground for a while.  We came home, had some lunch and spent the rest of the day outside.  Who knew that so much fun could be had with a pair of rain boots, a bucket and 2 water blasters from the Dollar Store???  Such a beautiful, fun day in the sun!

Logan's 2nd Birthday Sports Party

We had a great day yesterday celebrating Logan's 2nd birthday with a sports themed party.  For a number of reasons, we decided to keep it low key and it was perfect!  The weather was beautiful!  The 4 little monkeys and one lovely lady (Annalia) had lots of fun together...although I'm not so sure that anyone really played any sports...at least not until after Logan opened his presents!  Jonah didn't get to join in much of the fun but he was still super cute and good.  It was a wonderful day, celebrating our little guy who is growing up faster and faster by the day.  We all love you so much, Pal!  Keep making us laugh with that little twinkle in your eye!



Happy Birthday, dear Logan...I love that he sings to himself

Happy birthday, Logan! (Take 2!)

Logan turned two the day after we returned from a short vacation to Pennsylvania that included a trip to Sesame Place.  Needless to say, we were wiped out and didn't do much to celebrate that day. With his party coming up tomorrow, we decided to do a bit of a birthday make-up today.  He opened a couple of birthday presents, we went to the concert on the common and had pizza and a movie night with a movie of Logan's choosing...Cinderella! It has turned into a week plus long celebration for our little guy.  Not a bad deal when you are two!  Love you, pal!
