New Hampshire

Last week we took a mini-vacation up to New Hampshire. It was wonderful spending time together as a family.

We spent one (rainy) day at Santa's Village. Despite the weather, the boys had so much fun...

The next day we went to Story Land. It was a bit more crowded there, but we still had a great day!

Bye, Bye Preschool...

Today was a very big day in our house: Sam graduated from preschool. My big boy will be starting Kindergarten in the fall.

It was a great ceremony and it was amazing to see just how much he has changed over the past school year. My shy boy actually stood on stage and sang loud enough for me to hear him about 10 rows back...that is very different for him. He has had a wonderful time with his friends and teachers and has grown in so many ways...

Backyard Swinging...

Fireman Micah Turns 3

Micah is all about fire trucks, so it was only natural for us to have a fire-station themed party.

He was in heaven surrounded by trucks and helmets and real live firemen!

We started out visiting our local fire station...

The firemen were great with the kids and let them climb around all the trucks...

They even got to try on the gear...

After the station, we headed home for games and cake...

Pin the badge on the fire dog turned out to be quite easy for our little cheaters...

But, the pinata proved to be a challenge...

We ended with a fire truck cake...it was definitely a memorable day for the little man...
