Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Kindergarten we go!

 It happened, that's really all I can say.  My baby boy began Kindergarten; it's pretty magical, but tragically sad and awful at the same time.  I mean seriously, how did that cute boy who was just pulling himself up on my couch and singing along to Sesame Street  now this big brave smart little man?  He's pretty special, he really is!  If you know him, you know what I mean.  He just isn't your typical little man, he is really dreamy, and I mean super imaginative.  He isn't the bravest soul or the most coordinated boy I've ever met, but I will say he is one of the most creative and interesting humans I've ever encountered.  Not only that but he makes every day of my life challenging in the best way possible.  
Can you believe he wrote that long long word?  K i n d e r g a r t e n is soooo long and has soooo many letters, but look how fantastic he did?!?!?  This kid often fights us when it comes to learning the basics, but man look at how worth it the fight was!

So he's off to learn 5 days a week with Ms. Scrima (quite possibly the most type A, organized, fantastic kindergarten teacher there ever was) along with 21 of his other classmates.  
When he grows up he wants to be:
a pizza guy
a gas station guy
a police officer
a donut shop owner
a dad
and an artist

Dream big dude, the world is yours to own!


Portsmith, NH

Gram came to town again to help us with the kids; she is the best!  We wanted to do some fun things with her before we stuck her at home with two kids for a week; one day we headed to Portsmith, New Hampshire.  We had never been there before and I cant imagine why, it was such an adorable town.  We had a lovely day there going on a picnic, enjoying a nice harbor cruise, shopping and eating delicious sea food as the sun set on the ocean.  It was a really great day.
On our cruise we saw the navel shipyard and one of the three submarines being worked on there; I had no idea how huge these things were.




Below is the little island where we had our picnic.  What a beautiful city.
