Bring on the Summer!

It's been pretty hot around here the past few weeks, which I must admit that I LOVE!  I have never been a fan of the cold and grow happier with each degree that the temperature rises.  Hot weather means long, sunlit days, parks, the beach, grilling, and laziness! {though for some reason I'm most productive in the summer...who knew!}  And this year I am especially excited to great the warm weather since it means that New Baby will be making its arrival soon!

Little M seems to have inherited my love of the warm weather too....mainly because that girl LOVES being outside.  Whether it is the park or our backyard, she could spend all day in the sun if we let her.  Thankfully our house came with a sizeable backyard and we have been able to spend lots of time back there recently, splashing around in the baby pool, playing in her playhouse, and making lots of chalk drawings on the driveway and patio. 

Nothing better than running through the grass barefoot

Not the most flattering picture of either of them, but check out the fact that they're both making the same face!

Pool time!

Someone else wants to get in the cool water too!

Weekend Re-Cap Part I

We had such a busy weekend that I'm going to have to split it until two posts as to not get too long winded! Saturday we woke up bright and early to a sunny, cool, crisp November morning. We got the whole family ready and headed up to my Alumni Weekend at the University in Connecticut I attended. I graduated back in 2005, but haven't been back to the campus since...so I was *very* excited about this weekend! Three of the girls I was really close with were going, so I was really looking forward to seeing them and checking out who else was there. Once we got up there, parked, registered, and joined up with the girls we were ready to party! A big part of Alumni Weekend is to watch the Homecoming football game...however we only made it up to the actual field once...to buy food! haha . We pretty much spent the entire time tailgating in the parking lot with some of the frat boys we had been friends with. It was so much fun to be there with Skip, showing off my Little M, and re...

Heaven Gained Another Angel

For the past few months, I've alluded to the fact that my family was going through something big, something heavy....but that it wasn't my story to share.   For the past six months, my MIL had been battling lung cancer.  She fought it with everything she had, but three weeks ago, the doctors said that nothing more could be done.  So we brought her home.   We visited a lot with her over the past few weeks, and everything we wanted and needed to say, was.  We brought the girls around as long as she was feeling well, and I hope Emmy will always carry those nice memories. We were given notice on Friday that the end was probably near, and so the whole family was able to go be with her.  On Saturday afternoon, surrounded by the family that loved her, my MIL peacefully passed away.  Through our tears and grief, we were happy that she was no longer in pain. As this blog also serves as a memory book for my family, I will be sharing a more touching tribute about...
