Summer in a nutshell...

I haven't been posting as much as I was hoping to be, but I guess thats what happens in the summer, you just get swept up in all the activities and forget about everything else.  This summer has had super busy days and super low key days.  We've had house guests and we've gone away.  The kids did swim class every morning for most of the summer and they both became swimmers.  Juliana flew through the different levels and at the end of class was working on perfecting her standing dives and strokes.  She will be continuing with lessons in the late fall.  Tyler also enjoyed the swimming and especially loved jumping off the starter blocks at the ten foot end of the pool.

In mid-July we had a visit from both Steve's parents (Grandma Chris and Papa) and Steve Grandmother and her husband (Gigi and Lenny).  We celebrated Grandma Chris's birthday and Gigi's 85th birthday (all three great grandma's will be 85 this year).

We also spent a lot of time at the beach, oh we just love the beach.  The kids love to swim in the water and I even went in once (eek).  I didn't bring a camera most days as it was more about sitting down with our toes in the sand, but I am still hopeful to go one night before it gets too cold and get some pictures of us all at sunset.

                     

We were also fortunate enough to go see the Patriots practice at Gillette Stadium again.  Its fun to see all the players and we get to get up close.
