SUMMER FUN

Well, summer is officially over now. Work has picked up, vacations are over, and the school year is just around the corner. Joli spent the week with Grammy and Pops and had a wonderful time at Camp! She got to go tubing, swimming and spent time with some really great friends! Thanks for an awesome week, Grammy and Pops!

Here is Lolo with the boys chilling on the boat.


Lola with (almost) all the grandkids!

Gavin and Nona visited for a few weeks. When the little ones were first born, we called them the Cousin Triplets. Unfortunately, Nona was bossed around by the boys. I caught Evan in the action (don't worry, he got time out for hitting Baby Nona!)


Evan has learned a lot from Daddy. Including how to play the game system!


The next posts will probably be about back to school! Oh boy!

Summer FUN!
It's hard to believe that summer is coming to an end. In just a week or so, I'll be back into the swing of the school year. The girls have been enjoying new summer adventures like karate, horseback riding, and going on different outings.

We spent an afternoon at Canobie Lake Park (just the 2 big girls) and then had some fun time in Maine with the extended family. Here are some pictures of the vacation in the remote woods of Maine!

Gavin and Jada at the salt water tide pool. They kept saying "let's get seaweed for Lola Minda!"

Pretty much, this is what Mary did all vacation -- eat and type. eat and type.

Jorge was mad at Evan for some reason (probably Evan's constant whining!) and decided to chase him down the slide. Go, Evan! Go!

We had a great time in Maine!

These days, Jada has been reading a lot - especially since she got her glasses. Joli is getting more and more confident each day and is getting excited about school. Evan has been talking up a storm (again, when not whining). He basically mimics everything he hears. Big news -- Evan is finally moving into his BIG BOY BED! Jorge spent an entire night putting together new bunk beds for the girls and getting Evan's big boy bed ready. We'll see how this goes!
