My Garden

Nora & Brenna made me a garden "because I've always wanted one."  (It's right between them in the photo). They have been finding "plants" & flowers to plant there.  Such sweethearts.

 

Spring Break

Brenna & Nora used to be content to have quiet days at home, but since they started preschool they will ask me "where are we going today?".  They want action :)

Spring break was filled with play dates, hiking with family & friends.  We even had a beach day road trip with friends to Gloucester.  The water was so cold, but they still wanted to swim.  Hardy New englanders for sure.  The sand & rock climbing was lots of fun!   Now back to spring cleaning. 

April Snow

It was hard to be grumpy about snow on April 4th because these girls were so excited.  This is the view from Grandma Trish & Saba's new condo nearby where we've been helping prepare for their arrival.  

Big Bikes

I scored two balance bikes on a yard sale site & the girls LOVE them.  The bikes sit low to the ground & have no pedals so hey learn how to balance by pushing the bike with their feet.  They started riding a little over two weeks ago & it's truly amazing how quick they are learning.  Big bikes are in our near future.  Fun times.  

It's too quiet

I was in another room & was intrigued/worried by the lack of kid sounds.  I go into the guest room to find these sweethearts cuddled up reading together.  Bless their hearts.  

Thanksgiving 2015

I gotta start somewhere when trying to catch up on the blog, right?

Trish & Anatol planned a last minute Thanksgiving trip to be with us & we continued our tradition of an improperly prepared turkey.  Tis the season!

On our way to the airport we stopped in Boston & had lunch at Qunicy market.  Nora & Brenna were much more interested in chasing pigeons than looking at the giant Chritmas tree.

Ted was smack dab in the middle of preparing to change jobs again, but that transition is almost done now.  He starts back at Liberty Mutual doing Innovation next Monday after a lovely "break from work".  He sent me to Kripalu for a couple days.  I'm a very lucky mom.

Love of Snow

Although we've had minimal snow so far this winter Brenna & Nora are very enthusiastic about playing with it.  So much so that it didn't even bother them when it was pouring cold rain on us.
