Campfires

There is something magical about campfires!

Rocky Shores

One thing is for certain when you are at the coast of Maine - you will find rocks! We spent HOURS climbing rocks and combing the beaches for sea glass and other treasures.

Adventures of Maine

We just spent an AMAZING week in Belfast, Maine with Mimi and Pop Pop!!!  It was absolutely spectacular.  Every day was filled with amazing adventures by the sea - rock climbing, sea glass combing, picnics, playgrounds, crabbing, campfires, kayaking and boat excursions to name a few and lots of quality time with Mimi and Pop Pop!

Thank you Mimi and Pop Pop for the most memorable week to date!

I have a ridiculous number of pictures (of course) so the next several posts will be highlights from the week.

First Day of Preschool

The first day of preschool was a success for Anna!  She had a blast, loves her teachers and enjoyed playing with new friends!

Grandma Mary is Sixty!

Good Hope Preschool: Meet and Greet

Anna and I met her teachers, Ms. Eleanor and Ms. Ninette, and visited her classroom at the preschool open house.  Anna will start next week and go three days a week.  She is so excited!!!

It is going to be an awesome year!

Alexander - 13 Months

Alexander is a hoot and a handful! The big changes this month are that he is pulling up to standing on his own, is very curious about the toys (and crafts) around him and really wants to be in the middle of the action.
He knows to pull out the bins with trucks, cars, trains, tools, etc., finds the shelf with board books and looks through books with great intention on his face and spends hours exploring the playroom.

The more excited the kids are the more wound up he gets - screaming, trying to "talk" and always smiling! He flies into the bathroom when he hears the water running for tubbies. He started saying "TAY OOH" (Thank you) when we prompt him.

Anna lays in front of Alex and waits for him to crawl on top of her and give hugs and kisses.  Kate loves to help him do little crafts like painting and coloring. Max builds things  for Alex to destroy! Anna loves to push him around in the cozy coupe while the others are chasing them or directing traffic. We are all enjoying playing and getting lots of hugs and kisses from Alexander these days!
