August 2015 Update... LOVE Summer!

I am not sure how coincidental it is that we have always lived under a 20 minute drive to the beach… One of our favorite spots

It brings on family gatherings, long talks, dinner with friends and time to disconnect from our busy lives.

We are fortunate enough living in New England to have the options of nearby beaches, only a 20 minute drive to the city, and a 2 hour drive to really disconnect in the White Mountains. This year, all three kids summited Mt. Washington for the first time via the Tuckermans Ravine trail.

If awards were to be given out, Garrett was by far the fastest. Always waiting for us to catch up. Jordan was steady and quiet. I think she took in the majestic of the woods the most… who are we kidding here, she was shocked as to how hard the climb became the closer we got to the top. And our Trixie (Ayden) scared every wild animal off with her constant chatter. She talked the ENTIRE way!!!

The following weekend we visited our friends lake house in Maine.

LOVED Little Sebago Lake!

A Big thank you to the Ciacciarelli’s and LaPrade’s

Wrapping up the Summer nights, Ayden stepped outside of her box and tried a new sport this Fall - Cheering! There was a two week cheer camp. This provided our family with a lot of spirit being pumped into our house… This is something that comes natural to Ayden.

Ayden does everything with a skip and a smile…

She comes with her own set of cheerleaders… to support her!
