I moved!

I moved over to blogspot.  I can upload pictures from my phone and I'm hoping to focus my blog on my crafts and of course my family!

Come join me! 

BTW does anyone know how to download all your blogs to keep for posterity?

Home Sweet Home

We've been in New York for the last three weeks.  10 days on Long Island. 4 days in Boston. 10 days in Rochester.  We had a fantastic time, but we're now happy to be home.  Happy to have our routine back.  And excited for Liam who just started his second year of preschool, or maybe it's considered pre-K at this point.


Liam went fishing with Pop Pop.  They didn't catch anything, but Liam enjoyed playing with the bait.

Rekindling a relationship with Liam's babyhood friend.
















 

The boys had a wonderful trip, and the weather was so great that we didn't have a chance to do any rainy day activities... next time.

Yesterday we went raspberry picking with some friends.  Henry ate so much my white sweater was red on the back!
They were super sweet, even the under-ripe ones weren't tart.
Today Liam and I made our first pie together!  It was delicious!  I only had one slice (then I finished off Henry's slice!).
We've really been living up this summer.  Lots of trips to the park, the beach, and the farmers market.  And we've already reserved our second campsite.  One more than last summer!  
And Friday we're going to a water/amusement park.  It's only supposed to go up to 70 degrees so I don't know how much I'll want to go on water rides, but knowing my boys they'll swim until they're purple!

Not blogging.

I'm out of practice.

Just a quick update.

We have just started renovating our downstairs office.  We have popcorn ceilings that we want to remove and we thought we'd do it ourselves but it contain asbestos and we read how you can remove it yourself but it's just to complicated and hazardous that we've decided to hire someone to do it, but who? So that is at a stand still.

Liam is taking swimming lessons twice a week and loving it.  He swallows so much water because he is smiling the whole time!  What he lacks in ability he makes up for in enthusiasm.  He was the only one brave enough in his class to try a head first dive off the diving board!

Henry attempts to mimic everything that Liam says.  Tonight at dinner Gordon (the cat) was attempting a jail break and Liam ran over to him and meowed really loud to get him to run back inside, and Henry loved that and he kept meowing like Liam did. 

Henry says "none" for "done".

I've still been sewing a lot.  I'm making gifts for our families for when we visit.  And I'm making pants for Henry out of old t-shirts.

So that's where we are... oh and Kurt, he's got so many projects in motion I've lost count!

Water Slide

Who needs to go to a water park to enjoy a fantastic ride down a water slide.  All you need is a slide, a tarp, a hose, and an adventurous little boy!

Liam had a fantastic time on the slide.  He flew really fast.  If our tarp was longer he would've gone even further.
