It’s been a summer of adjusting to the new family dynamic, but we have managed to do some fun summer stuff as well. We had The Prince’s birthday party before baby was born and The Boy’s after…with custom decorated cakes of course. My birthday was just two days before The Gentleman was born.
We managed to get in a trip to Boston before baby was born where the most exciting part was checking out one of Cambridge’s fire houses. The boys went to the splash pad with their auntie, we went strawberry picking, ate lots of fresh corn, did the summer running races in our town, went out for ice cream…all kinds of stuff! The Boy got to take a special trip up to my sister-in-law’s family farm. We even bought a mini-van to accommodate the growing family (and the convenience of it totally negates any soccer-mom stereotypical feelings I had about it!).
I’m definitely feeling like there isn’t enough time or sleep or patience on my part, but all that will come as The Gentleman gets a little older. I’ve been meaning to write up his birth story for the blog but just haven’t had the time and energy…it’ll get up here eventually. The Boy starts first grade next week, and The Prince is starting preschool! Can’t believe how fast time is going by. Enjoy our summer pics!
What have you all been up to this summer?
Oh, BOY! (And Boy & Boy)– You have managed a lot with a new person in the house. My summer was shamefully sleepy…
Sleepy summers are great! We are decidedly not getting much sleep around here. 😉 All for a good reason, though.
What adorable pictures. Such sweet smiles. It’s great that you had a nice vacation. Ah, and the boys in school will give you a little breathing time. Enjoy them. They do grow up way too fast.
Thanks, Beverly! Definitely looking forward to a little breathing room.
