We have taken quite a hiatus haven't we? So far spring in CT has been challenging. In March we have mid summer temperatures. Now that it is June we're having temps in the 50's!! CRAZINESS!! Wouldn't you agree? My son, Seamus, has his end of the year beach field trip cancelled/postponed until three days before the end of school. Talk about cramming everything in!
Hmm what's been going on with us? Not really anything. We've been contemplating purchasing a home here in CT in the upcoming fall season. We are ready to be homeowners. We're a little nervous though.
As for summer time fun? We've pulled out our kiddie pool once. That's it. One time so far. The kids had a blast though. The love to be silly and to play in water.
Seamus and Lylian. They were taking turns filling up a bucket of water and the dumping it out. For what reason? I have no clue. But do they really need one? Nope they were quiet and getting along and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Seamus striking a pose. He always poses for his pictures. Maybe he'll be a model. I'm hoping for a soccer star. He's super talented either way you slice it.
Maddalaena is charming adorable highly energetic and goofy. Always the center of attention.
And my Lylian. She's goofy too. But she's a little bit more reserved. When she's 16 I'm going to show her this picture. Then I'm going to show her that I shared it with the entire blogging community lol. Imagine her reaction...
Our son Seamus is a budding soccer star and we're also contemplating on sending him to a few soccer camps to strengthen his skill. The girls have been making friends and are enjoying the warm weather.
We've been spending a considerable amount of time with my grandparents. After all they are the only great grandparents that our children know. And they're the only grandparents to the hubs and myself that we really know. Gotta soak up all that elderly mentality. Learn those life lessons. And enjoy their expressions of their relationships and joy with our children.
As for our home? The DIY projects have come to a little bit of a stand still. We've been enjoying and adjusting to baby Blake. With how much he eats and now he's teething and staying awake longer, I'm finding less time to get things done. As a result I've been calling on the help of my hubby. Speaking of the hubs, he has started college again. Which means I get to handle the baths and he gets to handle the homework and essays.
Here he is in all his educated glory. The hubs, big man on campus, The Don and the love of my life. What's funny is that he actually isn't all that big physically. He's not tall, or super built like a bodybuilder. But he is quick and knows some cool take-you-out techniques. That's what makes him the big man on campus. And just because he's dad.
I know that some of you browse through these posts for information and some how-to's. Others just take a peek at what's going on in our lives. And I appreciate that soo much! You'll never know truly how much. The hubs and I will be working on some up coming DIY furniture projects in the upcoming months before his/our departure from Connecticut to Maine. We have orders to report to the Miami. Recent submarine to catch on fire. You all might have read about it. Yep we're going there. I'm not too excited. But it will be a new experience. In the meantime we have a to-do list to get accomplished before we leave in Oct/Nov. Here are some pretty pictures with links so you can look at the items yourselves!

Are you going to be in Maine for a while? Would you buy a house there?
ReplyDeleteWe'll be moving to Maine for about two years. The boat's home port is Groton. So we would e moving back anyway. We were thinking of buyin down here and the kids and I would stay while Richard was in Maine. He would come and visit and possibly ride another boat or go to schools down here.
