The nerdiest way to share photos, videos, and stories of our adventures….
This weekend Gabby had some awesome fans come to support her! Their cheering must’ve been a boost because she scored her first (two) goals!
Since the games are so early, there’s ton of time for breakfast afterwards. 😂
Some bonus footage from warmups.
The pumpkin carving timelapse!
Gabby had a blast cleaning out her pumpkin.
Random Daddy smooches!
Sammy was a bit more delicate this year .. but he did a great job working with Mommy!
He drew his own face on the pumpkin and really liked how it turned out. 🙂
Trick or Treating was a two-neighborhood marathon, thanks to the stronger kid legs and wonderful weather!
Started in Fox Hill, rolling deep, with about five families. One of which were the Shannon’s, keeping the tradition going!
Rendezvoused with the Carolines!
Got stopped by the BPD!
Then picked up Eva!
And then started our jaunt down Fox Hill.
Got some spooky selfies!
And some not so spooky selfies ..
Chels and Gabs were having fun!
So we hopped over to Sparhawk to run the horseshoe with just the big kids.
This week was Gabby’s first chance to try goalie play. She was pumped, did a great job, and had loads of fun!
She even earned the game pick! Proud of you Gabs!
Gabby’s first game was this morning!
And we were heading to the rink before the sun came up!
Where was Daddy? Running the clock. 😆
Sammy is a “Busy Bee” at the Burlington Early Childhood Center. (BECC)
We are so proud of him! In the morning, we could tell he was excited to go to school just like his big sister. 🙂
He was a little sad to go in alone, but he made the transition, and was soon inside having fun with the other kids. ❤️
At pickup, his teacher walked him out and said that he told her he “didn’t want to leave”. 😭
Couple of bonus pic’s. Mac was very proud to see another one of the littles off to school. 🐶
And he was spoiled by a walk with both of us .. just like the good ol’ days.
She’s an awesome 1st grader!
Everyone was there to put her on the bus. 🙂
And when she got home, she said she had a great day and can’t wait to get back to her desk. ❤️
Turn the clock back one year by checking out her Kindie post! (Is it just me, or has she grown by a foot?!)
Or, even crazier, take a look back at Pre-K!

After the long drive (and some classic Boston traffic…) Grammy and Papa arrived and had some awesome gifts for the kids!
We had a nice night grilling out with Grammy and Papa! (No pics.)
The next morning was beautiful weather so we made our way to the school playground. 🙂
Then we enjoyed the afternoon by relaxing and playing outside.
And we had a nice big meal together at one of the kids’ favorite restaurants. (No pics.)
The next morning, we boogied up to Ogunquit, ME for an amazing day at the beach!
Finally, we finished up the day at home, and had some delicious Indian takeout! One of Grammy’s favorites! (No pics.)
Thank you so much for visiting Grammy and Papa!
Another year keeping up the tradition of enjoying the Burlington Town parade with our friends, the Shannon’s!
We were also happy to cookout with our friends from the Fox Hill neighborhood! (Totally forgot to take pictures…)
Sammy really enjoyed some trampoline time!
