July 8, 2012, at 10:59 pm | It’s not often that I get to spend a whole day with two lovely ladies who don’t call me “Mama”! On Saturday, I had the wonderful privilege of driving with my niece Alli to visit our friend Ashley in “Beantown” (and thanks to Ashley’s tourguide-esque knowledge of her adopted hometown, I now know the history behind the “bean” reference!). The three of us popped in and out of shops in the Back Bay, trooped all over the North End, took in the street performers at Quincy Market, and just enjoyed the breathtaking scenery and each other’s company. I can’t thank Ashley enough for her hospitality, or Alli for enduring my hungry-for-adult-conversation nonstop yapping during the road trip. When we returned home after 9pm that night, my mother-in-law (who graciously watched all the kids for me) remarked that I looked more rested after a day of walking and driving than I ever do after a day with the kids!

…there’s nothing like sitting outside in the sunshine with a notebook and your own thoughts!

July 4, 2012, at 11:09 pm | We didn’t get to see any fireworks this 4th of July, but we packed enough food, watersports, games and friends into the day to fully celebrate the holiday!

July 2, 2012, at 10:30 pm | We made it out to the bike trail again on Sunday and let the girls take their “motorcycles” out with us.
They usually propel the trikes with their feet, as opposed to the pedals, but they manage to keep up with their daddy!
Jimmy doesn’t get to set his own pace yet, poor kid. Although I don’t have too much sympathy for him…I would much rather be pushed around on wheels these days!

Hooray for a great evening out!
July 1, 2012, at 10:41 pm | The girls have discovered a new-found love of swimming with the help of their life jackets.
Jimmy has re-discovered his love of boating with the help of his Pappy!
June 29, 2012, at 11:07 pm | I think Jimmy’s been hanging around his sisters too much – he’s trying to wear this stroller as a purse!

ABOUT US I'm blessed to be saved by the grace of God, loved by my wonderful husband Jim, and embraced by my twin girls, Rebecca Faith and Susanna Joy and my sons Jimmy and Danny. I started this blog in May 2008 when I was hospitalized for pre-term labor at 24 weeks gestation. The Lord allowed me to keep the girls inside until they were 34 weeks along, and on July 27th, Rebecca made her debut, followed by Susanna, five minutes later, on July 28th. We ecstatically welcomed Jimmy into our lives on April 25th, 2011, and Danny on August 31, 2012. This blog has been a personal journal of faith and motherhood and the only way I can remember which child did what and when. Thanks for stopping by to share in my Faith and Joy! Feel free to e-mail me at: [email protected]. |
