Yesterday we celebrated the wedding of Pete and Christine in Wellfleet, MA.  It was a beautiful day for a wedding that took place at an amazing location.  It actually reminded me of our ceremony at Smith’s Castle.  It was an intimate gathering with lots of non-typical wedding things - hoagies, cornhole, and s’mores just to name a few - and...

If you are a little boy, what’s better than playing in a dirt pile??  Playing in a HUGE dirt pile!!  This will be motivation to do something with that space that we had cleared back in August.

Back in June, Auntie Karin and I bought a Groupon for Kidz Wurld in North Attleboro figuring we would take the boys sometime for a fun day.  It didn’t expire until October 3rd so we had plenty of time to use it.  Well that time (aka summer) flew by and now it’s already the middle of September.  Well we went...

Today we spent the day with Leah and Caleb.  We hadn’t seen Caleb since last July and I can’t get over what a little man he has become.  He is such a sweet, smart and kind little boy.  He certainly takes after his momma! It was a beautiful day so we spent as much time outside as possible.  The boys...

Everyone knows that Evan loves pirates, especially Jake.  He has been sharing that love with Logan, who now dances anytime he sees anything Jake likely singing the TV theme song in his head.  Here Evan and Logan got a chance to set sail in their very own pirate ship complete with mast and sail, steering wheel, flag and anchor thanks...

Daddy’s birthday was a two-day celebration this year…well sort of.  On Daddy’s actually birthday, the boys and I went to Papa & Gramma’s to enjoy one last pool day for the year while Daddy worked at home.  He did get to enjoy a juicy, delicious Washington peach that Omi sent with his lunch.  Then for dinner we went to Eighty-Ates....

A couple of weeks ago while at the playground at Auburn High School, I got to talking with a woman who was asking about other playgrounds that we visit.  She asked if we had been to Woolie World.  I didn’t think we had but then after talking with her more, I realized that it was the playground that we walk...

Daddy went camping again this weekend with the guys so I had a nice weekend with my little guys.  We had some ups and downs on Friday but did manage to make it out for dinner.  Saturday we went to see Papa and Gramma, spent the night and then went to Uncle Alan and Aunt Kim’s for some of the...

When we arrived home today there was a package on the stairs.  I hadn’t ordered anything and neither had Bruce.  When I opened it I saw that Omi had.  Omi sent Evan two nice pairs of boots…fireman rain boots and nice warm snow boots.  Evan was thrilled and needed to try them on right away!  He was even so excited...

Daddy was camping with the guys and Uncle Dan and Papa were at Pete’s bachelor party so Auntie Karin and I thought it would be fun to get the boys together for some mini golf and then meet Gramma and Grammy for dinner at the 99.  Fun, huh?  Well that all depends on your definition of fun.  We had one...
