Summer fun!

June has been busy around here. I had a lovely vacation in June and decided to look at houses in Hampden. Lo and behold… I bought a house in Hampden and will be an owner of two homes in early August. Needless to say, the packing up of my”dream home” is emotional, both exciting and poignant. But it is a start of new page in my life and I look forward to the change with anticipation and excitement..

It has been so much fun watching the kids explore, romp, swim  and work on their boating skills at camp. This is what I’ve been looking for pretty much my whole adult life. A place of peace and fun. The simple life…with all the amenities.

The Seattle cousins came for a visit. Zoe and Maggie were a little more subdued but they got right into the melee. The bath in the lake brought mixed reviews.

It’s party time!

Spring is here! We celebrated Soren and Amanda’s birthday a week late because Amanda and Kevin were moving the weekend of the birthdays. They’ve been emptying boxes and just trying to settle in to their new home.

Mothers Day.. Jess and the kids made the trek to Maine where the cousins had a ball! Too much fun. I think that we are all a little tired after nonstop partying!

I have the BEST family!
