June Update! Summer!

Life is good with us… School is out and Bella is keeping us entertained and well walked.

We are kicking off the summer just enjoying NOT being on a schedule or time line.

My diva shopper… Can’t totally relate to her fashion sense at times, but she sure has the shopping gene down! So love my afternoon with my youngest love.

Jordan wrapped up 7th grade with her power of one project. She is teaching herself to play the guitar. We have since gotten her some lessons, but I was amazed to see what determination and passion looks like before getting the formal training. I wish I had an ounce of this girls work ethic…

Having one kid in middle school means, she gets out of school over an hour before her brother and sister. We often fill that time with something adventurous and today we did some rip sticking together.

So much easier doing the flats with Bella.

Ayden took this picture of Chris and I walking Bella… and her stick. She always captures such great moments. I love our family walks!

We are as predictable as can be… most nights you can find us pool side, with a BBQ and a fire. So love our paradise and our entertainers…

Summer = Beach

No surprise that there is a DD on the way. In fact, there is a DD on the way to just about everywhere in Massachusetts!

After living here two years, this summer, I decided that we were going to really get to know our neck of the woods. We opened up summer with a FFT. (Family Field Trip) to a nearby town, Rockport. Rockport sits at the very top of Cape Ann. We fell in love with this town immediately.

Opening Day for us at Stiles Pond… Questioning whether the water was warm enough… Seems like a few weeks ago there was still ice floating around.
