Well..... here we go!


I will be honest, I am totally overwhelmed about this impossibly long overdue update!  I think the easiest way for me to do this is just to give a quick recap!

Summer was amazing! Went by far too quickly!  We spent some time at the cottage.  The pic below is a picture of our little girls holding the cutest, tiniest frogs imagineable on the shore at the cottage!


We vacationed in our beloved Maine again this year.  We all adore going here as there is the beach, and shopping which is a perfect combination for our family!  A little bit of something for everyone.  People are friendly, the scenery is beautiful and it has become a bit of a tradition for our family each summer.  Of course finding out about Hannah coming back from the beach a few years ago is another fond memory in a treasured vacationland!



Mara-Grace taught herself how to surf in about a day!  She is one coordinated pumpkin! xo



Summer!



We celebrated Hannah's 4th Birthday!!!!  She chose a Butterfly theme for her party!  I cannot begin
to describe how much fun I had with this one! xo


 



One of Hannah's birthday wishes was to go to the Nature museum on her actual birthday!













Hot Air Balloon Festival (We are parked and waiting!)
 

Back to School...  Grade 1 for Miss Mara-Grace and 1st year College for Miss Victoria...
Ahhh I cannot find my other first day of first grade pics!!!!  Not sure why this is on an angle either.... I will find the missing pics I hope!   Miss Mara-Grace has Madame Bertea and school got off to a great start. 

Victoria has settled well into college life.  She is keeping her options open and is in the Social Science Program.  She hopes to be an actress and teacher. 

Fall!  How blessed we are.  Happy Thanksgiving at the cottage!




My helpers enjoying the beaters!





Typical sight, seeing our girls walking along hand in hand.  Melts my heart every time!



Happy 7th Birthday Mara-Grace! xoxo





Well, I am indeed catching up!!!!   I have run out of my online pics so this will need to be part 1 of 2 of my official recap!!!!  xoxox
