Catching up....

Finally, after a month of no-blogging, I'm happy to be back at the computer for a little while, reminiscing about all the wonderful experiences we had this summer. We've stayed busy, on the go and out-of-town quite a bit, but now we're home and gearing up for school to begin soon.

I put together this collection of photographs from our trip to Maine with our dear friends, Dave and Heidi, who have a lovely cottage on a lake that was just beautiful, lined with trees, dotted with islands, and refreshingly cool.


Here are the kids at the ice cream parlor, posing with a bunch of lobster pots.

Here's Marc, Dave, and the kiddos on the float in the lake.

The lake cottage -- so quaint!

Boston Red Sox!

On July 4th, we took the boys to Boston for their first Red Sox Game! It was an amazing day, and we all had such a great time. Fenway Park is a terrific venue for a game, with great seats, lots of food, friendly atmosphere, festive music, and great ball games. Since it was Independence Day, they honored America's military heroes with music, special recognition on the scoreboard, and they featured all branches of the military during the opening ceremonies, opening pitch, and during the Star Spangled Banner. It was a wonderful day to spend at the ball park!

Here are some of our photo memories of the day --
Fenway is a New England Landmark

It really is an amazing ball field.

In honor of the 4th, there was a fly-over by these awesome, loud, jets!

The Big Green Monster!
#20 Kevin Youkilis hit a homerun over the Monster that day!
