Nothing clever to call this post...

Well it has been a long time since I've posted and those that check back regularly, I'm sorry. Alot has happened since my last posting in May and I'll try to summarize.

Our trip to Boston with Chad, Meliss, and Zach was ALOT of fun. If anybody has a chance to get there, I strongly recommend it. While we were there, we checked out the infamous Fenway Park. We took a tour of Fenway and were able to sit upon the Green Monster, hear some history of the Park, and appreciate the beauty of a great day at the park. We also saw the Mets play the Red Sox... and although the outcome was not the way we hoped (as Mets fans), it was a good game. We had AWESOME seats on the first base foul line just a few feet from the foul pole. The awesome seats also came with another true baseball experience: a rain delay that even included a bit of hail. :)






We also managed to check out the New England Aquarium. The aquarium was extremely crowded. Abi and Mikayla really enjoyed the experience, but would have preferred being able to move a little easier. Abi was even able to touch a few of the animals which she thought was neat, of course.

Other Boston fun included taking a Duck Tour which for those that do not know what that is... it's a car and a boat! :) The weather was a bit breezy and cold that day, but the tour was great. Our tour guide was entertaining and very knowledgable.

There are more stories from Boston to share, but... We had such a good time and am proud to say that we even mastered the Boston T (i.e. subway system). It is super easy and very user friendly.

The week after Boston, Abi completed her school year... and "Moved Up" from the 3 year old class to the 4 year old class. :) She really, really enjoyed her school and is already talking about when she goes back next year.

The next part of our summer to share is the main reason that I have delayed posting. Greg's younger brother, Kevin, passed away on June 18 just 3 days shy of his 31st birthday. Most of my readers are aware of this, but I don't feel as though I can post without mentioning it. It has been a hard time for all of us without a doubt, but we are a strong family and together we will manage.







As I am struggling to have the pictures be placed where I want them to appear and this a sort of long post, I am going to take a break... I'll try to continue again tonight.

Give someone you love a hug...
