Happy Birthday Daddy! (2025)

Presents!!

Me and the kids had some fun in the snow. Shaun isn’t pictured because he was snow blowing the driveway and helping neighbors too. He always wants to help, even on his birthday. Thanks for being you! Happy birthday Shaun ❤️

Merry Christmas! (2024)

Grammie and Papa pulled out some of Shaun’s old hockey jerseys and Gabby got to take one home 🥰

The kids enjoyed spending time with all their cousins!

Margo always had lots of smiles for Uncle Shaun 😀

Sammy’s Holiday Celebration at School

It was so nice to attend Sam’s holiday celebration in his classroom. He was a bit too nervous to sing in front of all the parents but we were so proud of him for staying with the rest of his classmates through the whole performance!

It was also a great opportunity to see some of the work he’s been doing and found out he was the “Bee of the day”!

His teachers surprised all the kids with a gift too!

Apple Picking 2024

Fun annual trip to Mack Farms for some U-pick apples!!

First stop, the farm market for some apple cider doughnuts to enjoy in our favorite spot.

Had to say “hello” to the sheep on the way out. Shaun named this one “chocolate” 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Let the picking begin! Lots of yummy apples this year!

Sam spent most of the time eating the apples ha!

Poor Gabby trying to eat an apple without front teeth.

Corn Maze time!

See ya next year!

Labor Day Weekend in Malone

We had a great time visiting Julia, Mike and Margo in Malone for the holiday weekend!

So happy we could be there for Margo’s special day ❤️

Lots of quality time with the rest of the family too. Besties!

“Uncle Nimmo!“ – Sammy

On our way to Malone we stopped for lunch at the Vermont visitor center. Pretty good view!

And about twenty minutes away from Julia’s house we saw a black bear! I may have mentioned it a couple of times on our trip but had to share it one more time. 😂
