Fishing

Hopefully this will become a more frequent tradition for years to come!  First dockside fishing in Guilford for the kids!  Daddy was in heaven!  Ethan, a little skeptical.  Elodie got bored, but was thrilled when she caught a baby bass!

Carnival

Ethan's first carnival ride!  He chose to ride Thomas the Train and Elodie chaperoned - good thing because he stood up and got off of the train in the middle of the ride!  They had to stop the ride and he quickly sat back down with El's help!

Sea Legs Shuffle

There was a big race in Guilford this weekend!  Some of the proceeds went toward's Elodie's new school so there were lots of people we knew involved in the whole thing.  This is Elodie's second race (she ran a little dash in RI in May) but this was her first half-mile clocked run!  She did awesome - came in #42 at 4:51.  SO proud!  (see the results here!)  Grammie, Papa, Aunt Ali and Mommy ran the 5K and Ethan and Daddy cheered everyone on!  Go Team!

Those kids...

Grammie picked up the kids and took them to the playground one day when I had to work late...  Love those kids!

Great-Grandma Helen

We got to see Great-grandma Helen a lot last month while she was visiting Connecticut.  We loved spending time with her, even wanted to FaceTime with her when she was just in Hartford!
