After the majority of the country wrapped up school weeks ago,

New England is finally calling it a wrap just one short week before July 4th!

Not sure how many snow days we had this winter… I lost count. Plus the snow days were not sitting cozy by the fire while the yard was blanketed in white puffy snow… most of the days off were without power, water or heat!

My crazy groovy girl! Always so fun to shop with!

Kicking off summer spending the day in one of our favorite coastal New England towns

Newburyport, MA

Can’t believe we made it to Newburyport on the Chang JJiang!

Best back road tour ever and a my hot driver for a date!

My crazy crew!!!

Love this capturing this very very VERY rare moment…

Ayden was new to riding Garrett’s hover board and Garrett was worried she would fall.

Yes really! This is not staged and it lasted exactly 30 seconds!

Hard to get these two teenagers to be in a good mood at the same time…

Contemplating a new hair cut for Ayden… trying to grow it to donate.

Chris and I off on the Chang Jiang for some local town touring…

So many New England towns to tour

Essex, MA

We have a large selection of micro brews to choose from…

This is one of our favorites!!

Loving Summah!!!

May Update 2018

It’s Official!

Onto our next adventure!

Not sure exactly when - but hope we find a great family to enjoy our home.

Loved our time in New England, but heading back to Parkland, Florida to pick up where we left off 8 years ago.

 

So many great memories in this house…

Patio furniture out and the pool is OPEN!

Ready for summer… we have waited a long time for this!

Some rainy day fun…

Garrett was determined to make it to the top of this more difficult climb. No surprise that he made it on his first try!!!

Wouldn’t be an entry without a Bella picture!!!

My girl…

Found a really cool open field trail in Amesbury…

Bella made lots of friends and I was able to capture a few photos of ALL my girls!

I am so blessed to have such strong little women in my life.

Jordan is wrapping up 9th grade …

Ayden is wrapping up 5th grade!

Sisters Rock!

April 2018

Kicking off Easter in Black Dog sweatshirts (thanks Aunt Nancy) with snow on the ground…

Longest Winter Ever!

But nothing is stopping our annual Easter Egg Hunt!

Check out Ayden’s homemade “egg” sack… and Garrett’s pants Ayden made him for Christmas!

Even Bella is worried that spring will never arrive…

Babysitting Bella’s cousin Piper Jane from Medford.

A lot of play time with ample recovery naps were involved.

We were fortunate enough however to get OUT OF New England and head to Florida for some much needed fun in the sun!!!

We also got to see the progress of our house going up. Building in our old town of Parkland but new development ~ Parkland Golf and Country

Just breaking ground!

Our house is located across the street from a huge park… We are already plotting our family game nights under the lights. I scored a couple of bikes over in my parents neighborhood for us to ride. Absolutely comical fitting them into the compact rental car with the three kids!!!

Worth every bit of the cramp ride home…

Garrett and Jordan took a photography course through the school. I love their creations and was so proud of their hard work! No surprise that both picked photos they took at Crane’s beach…

Looking for some fun indoor activities until the snow melts… Thank god for the indoor rock climbing gym! Bonus that it is located next to one of my favorite local breweries — The Riverwalk Brewery in Newburyport, MA

All three kids in this photo… can you find Ayden?

Feeling so blessed to have these three in my life!!!!
