We miss you Grandpa...

Daddy, Tommy, Grandpa, Auntie Meredith and Cole

It's hard to believe that Grandpa George passed away a year ago today. We miss and love you Grandpa!!!

Fourth of July -- belated photos!

Here are some LONG overdue photos from the past few weeks. Things have been busy around here! With Kevin starting his new job and being away for much of the past two weeks, I'm finally just now getting back into the swing of things. :)We had a great Fourth of July with the family!! John, Angela, Kaeleigh, Melissa and Grandma Meredith came to spend the holiday weekend with us. The boys had a BLAST. They LOVE their cousins and all of the attention from Grandma, Aunt Angela and Uncle John. Tommy would see John...throw his arms up in the air like he was doing the "wave" at a ball game and yell, "WOAH!" :)

Tommy happily pushing his truck on the deck.

John and Grandma Meredith

When it comes to french fries, Cole means business!

Melissa's first time kayaking...she was a pro!

The most photogenic family in the clan by far...every photo of them is amazing!

We spent Saturday at my parents house...boating, kayaking and relaxing in the sun. That night, we came back here and had the first annual "Fourth of July Polar Plunge." What is that you ask? Well when the weather has been rainy and COLD all summer long, the pool reflects that! So I challenged these Georgia gals to a dip. :) We painted ourselves from head to toe...donned glow necklaces and plunged! After we jumped into the jacuzzi which was warm and bubbling inside. Perfect ending to a great day!

John, Angela and the girls left on Sunday (we were so sad to see them go) and Grandma stayed much to the boys delight. Cole started calling her "GaMa". In the morning, they would come downstairs and immediately start looking for her.

On Thursday, Aunt Meredith arrived to continue to shower these little boys with tickles and attention and we all packed up to visit relatives in Swampscott the next morning. Okay, this requires a new blog entry....those photos coming up next!!!

Ketchup Face

"Dip, dip, dip!" The boys LOVE to dip things. Honey mustard, BBQ, teryaki...you name it. Tonight it was ketchup. I walked out of the kitchen to put something in the pantry and they started dipping their fingers apparently. Or maybe they just face planted in the ketchup? LOL This is what I found when I walked back in...

Waiting for Nana....

We had torrential rain today, so my mom came here to watch the boys while I did some work around the house. The boys were SO excited that she was coming over...and spent a good portion of the morning waiting by the window for her arrival. They kept yelling her name out the window...it was really cute.

Twinpalooza! Coming to a Storyland near you...

Here's the gang! A few weeks back, we took photos of the boys standing in front of a wall for this photo. All of the kids were photo shopped together and they are standing according to height...tallest to smallest. This is the ONLY way to get a photo like this. :)

We're gearing up for our big reunion in a couple of weeks and this time we're taking over Storyland. This park has no idea what kind of storm is about to hit. Should be a blast! We'll keep you updated and will of course post photos.
