Summer, so far

I can’t believe it’s already August…despite no longer getting summers off as I once did, the idea of Back to School still gives me slight anxiety.  As always, summer has flown by so far, but looking back, we’ve packed in a good bit so far and plan to continue to do so through Labor Day!

We started the summer with a trip to Story Land with the McArdle and Jordan families, followed by a morning at the beach:

July quickly came which meant births and birthday parties! (see separate post for Maggie’s)

Happy Birthday Frankie!

and welcome to Aoife Teresa McArdle, born July 13, 2014.  We are all excited for the newest addition to the family, she’s just adorable!! And check out that head of hair (Maggie is jealous)!

We spent a long weekend in the Cape with the Healeys – which meant lots of beach, shopping, cribbage, and general relaxing!

Throughout the summer, Maggie has been mastering some new skills – using utensils, riding bikes, and accessorizing!

With only a month left to the summer, we’re hoping to soak up as many rays as we can!
