Ending Summer with a Bang!

Our summer went out with a bang, Julia and Ben's first fireworks! And where better to see them than at the ballpark?!? The PawSox did not disappoint. There was awe on both kids faces as they watched the fireworks explode and memories created that will last a lifetime! 


ready for the noise!

Julia recently competed in her first multi-sport event, a Splash and Dash organized by a local triathlon club. She ran .3mi, swim 50yards, and ran .3mi to the finish and was the fastest girl in her age group!

Maine 2017

Our annual trip to Maine was filled with all our favorites things: swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, ice cream, lobster, and time with family. And a couple of new experiences: a performance of My Father's Dragon at the local theater and time in the hot tub (Ben's favorite place!).  We enjoyed a beautiful week on the lake!

Swim Milestone: Clownfish!

All the swimming Ben has done this summer paid off. Ben was promoted to the next level of swim lessons and he's the youngest Clownfish they've ever had! And the only 5 year old with an amazing butterfly stroke!
