The nerdiest way to share photos, videos, and stories of our adventures….
Sammy has graduated from the Busy Bees and we couldn’t be prouder!
One of the songs from his end of year celebration!
First day and last day of school.
We are so proud of all the progress Sammy has made this year ❤️ Look out kindergarten!
We loved celebrating one of the best dads around!
Sammy made a Father’s Day card at school 😂
Gabby’s new favorite thing to do is to walk to school in the morning. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy morning to do that with her! She loves it!
And thank you for letting Sammy join you at your desk while you work. He loves the “clicky” key board.
We appreciate you always going the extra mile for us ❤️. Happy Father’s Day, Shaun!
First session! (2025.05.04)
It decided to rain before Sammy’s first official ice time, just like it did for Gabby back in 2023.
No stranger to being laced up by Daddy. He was “pre-approved” to wear the hockey skates. New skaters are always handed out figure skates, since there’s less rocker in the blade.
Sammy was classically goofing around, writing his own rules, while boogieing across the ice without any real falls.
Once he saw the stars and shapes drawn on the ice, he was happy to pick up the pace.
His balance is sooo good; we were all surprised when he started doing all the teacher’s move without hesitation.
Great first skate for Sam! Big (rink rat) sister approves!
Starting with the Easter egg hunt!
Then off to find their baskets.
Easter morning tradition, bunny pancakes!
Sammy trying out his color reveal Hot Wheels.
Some outdoor shenanigans. (some from the day before)
Cartwheels!
Lasagna for dinner!
It has been a great season! So proud of Gabby and her team for the all progress they made as players learning the game. 🙂
A great team picture from the last regular season game!
Here are some highlights from their intermission skate a Providence Bruins game!
Heading to our seats!
Sam loved see the “almost matching” Zamboni!
First group got to skate!
Then it was Gabby’s group’s turn.
And some video from ice level!
She got an awesome shirt, hat, and had so much fun!
Tryouts with Woburn.
Tryouts with Burlington.
Over the weekend we went to the Discovery Museum as part of Sam’s birthday celebration!
“This dinosaur is beautiful!” – Sammy
Listening to the ocean.
The lucky guy that gets to carry Gabby’s camera 😂
Some water fun!

Presents before school! Some beautiful rainbow heart hoops. 🥰
Some really cool roller hockey skates. 😎
Which had to be tried out before school!
And after! 🤣
And a B-I-Y (build it yourself) alarm clock.
And the “week of cakes” continues. Mommy and Daddy can’t avoid putting on the pounds on the Gabby/Daddy birthday week.
We are soo happy our friends were brave enough to join Gabby out on the ice for her birthday party!
So many friends! (Not all pictured.)
And of course the little brother was bouncing around. 😂
Pizza, cupcakes, and singing!
Daddy’s birthday cake! Gabby picked out the sprinkles 😂. Yes those are unicorns.
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 ❤️
This year we made our way over to Buffalo to celebrate Christmas with family.
Even Mac endured the long car ride!

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 😀
Our favorite lady is one year older today! ❤️
The kids were so helpful with wrapping.
Mac even had a present for Mommy too.
Sammy was first to pass his out, but then he ran off instantly so he’s not pictured. 😂
And we had a nice evening out at one of our favorites, despite a small snow flurry. ❄️
