Action Jackson

 Tyler has two speeds, sleep and 90 MPH. When he is awake he is going, and going and going.

 I love to watch him. His little body is so coordinated and purposeful. He never tires and he is always smiling. We laugh that he is similar to a puppy. Pent up in the house he looks for trouble, bouncing off of walls, furniture and little brothers. But get him outside with a chance to run and he is the happiest boy on the block.

Picture of the Week - Happy Birthday Mike :)

I have a lot of favorite things about this picture. One is their smiles. Mike always looks so happy in pictures, and although Colby is yelling "No!" at me, it looks like a smile!

We are at the beach here, and we all know by now that is my element. I am happiest on the beach always. And the fact that Mike likes it too is perfection.

The Boston Hoodie. He bought it on a whim while we were in Boston at night and he found himself without an extra layer. I was around the block with the kids and when we met back up I couldn't believe my eyes. First, I had never seen him in a hoodie sweatshirt. After 16 years together the surprises are getting few and far between. And it is a BOSTON hoodie. It is hard to describe how I feel about Mike moving to Boston. It makes me sad and ridiculously happy at the same time. I will forever be grateful that he chose this move with me. The sweatshirt somehow summed up all my feelings. Not bad for $20!

Memorial Day 2012

 The unofficial start of summer, I love Memorial Day! This year didn't disappoint with a weekend visit from good friends and summer temps. We were outside for the entire weekend :: hiking with dogs, lounging by the pool and of course, the beach.

 We drove out Sunday night with a car full of kids, sub sandwiches and marshmallows. The sky slowly changed from blue to black as we sat around the fire (tiny as it was :) talked and relaxed. It was Mike's first time driving out to Duxbury Beach and my childhood haunt didn't disappoint. He loved it. Good thing, because if he wants to see us this summer, he will have to be there :)
