…to Connecticut!

The day after we returned from the wedding, Shane drove back home to get back to work and Trevor, my mom and I headed up to Connecticut.

Trevor had a blast playing with some of his cousins in the backyard at Great-Grammy’s house.

On Wednesday, we took a day trip to Mystic, CT to meet up with my friend Sam at the aquarium.  (She is much more on top of her blogging, so this is probably old-news to most)  We had a great time catching up and watching the kids check out the fish together.  DSC01639 DSC01640 DSC01646 DSC01648

I think Ava was telling Trevor not to try to climb in with the fish…..

Continuing on….

After Vinny’s wedding in WV, we stayed the night with Ben and Heather and visited with their new baby girl Ava.  The next morning, we headed back to my parents’ house and spent the afternoon at the pool my brother works at.

pardon the interruption….

I will get back to blogging about my Connecticut trip tomorrow. 

Tonight though, calls for a celebration.

Why, you ask?

Because tomorrow, I will no longer have to share one very small office with two people and my toddler (for a while there—thank God for amazing babysitters). 

Tomorrow is moving day!!!! 

After 14 months of temporary office space and unconventional classrooms, we are moving into our new building!!!

HOORAY!!!

stay tuned for blog posts about our travels, with cute Trevor pictures that you might actually be interested in.  this was purely for my personal benefit.

West Virginia Wedding Bells

Weekend before last, Shane and I attended Vinny and Laurel’s wedding in West Virginia.  My parents watched Trevor for the weekend (once I get those photos off my phone I’ll get them up here).  and we enjoyed some quality time with our old Navy friends.

this sight brought Heather and I to tears…..after all these years (and some crazy adventures) the boys are still the same as they always have been….just older)

Congratulations Vinny and Laurel!  We are so happy for the two of you and wish you all the happiness in the world. 

my brother….

has decided that Trevor needs to learn how to longboard at the age of 2.  great.  DSC01552

Evening Swims

As usual, summer has hit hard here, so we are spending every moment we can in the pool.  One of our favorite things to do is to get back in for a dip after dinner but before we start getting Trevor ready for bed.
