JUNE - Beginning of Summer and COVID Re-openings

 - Wrapping up the school year with remote learning.  Eli finished Kindergarten, and Everley finished her Pre-School 3's class, (well really she just tagged along with what Eli had to do with school. Thank goodness for Mr. Michael (Everley's pre-school teacher) coming in to help teach remote learning.  WHAT A BLESSING

- Beaches started to open with Phase 1 (and so did play-dates)

- Found out we had to move, trying to keep the kids entertained with outdoor activities when we had to be out of the house. We had just moved into Phase 1 of the COVID re-opening with our town.

- LOVE the adventure walks with the kids down by the little creek.  I will miss this area the most when we move (even though we are only going a mile away).  This is out special spot with them, especially Eli. Since he is an early riser like me, we had several 6am morning walks together 💗

- Meeting my twin niece and nephew for the first time.  They were born May 1st, and I just adore them!  Evi and Eli can't wait to meet them and hold them.  Aunt Pallyn was so sweet to send Evi her very own "Lynnie and Wade" and she is still obsessed!

- Took the risk, and made an impromtu trip back to TX for and surprised Ali for her 40th birthday. So glad that I went. I enjoyed the adult time, and definitely enjoyed the summer lake weather! Turns out I was probably preggers at the time, but didn't know...

Eli's 6th Birthday - COVID Style

Since Eli's birthday is the last day of May, let's just start there.  All of the pictures will be in random order, it is just important to me to get everything on here 

- COVID parade with great friends, neighbors, and classmates.
- Visit from the ice cream truck
- Surprise visit from Poppi and Grammi.  Our first time to see any other family in person since Christmas!

- Ninja Turtle themed birthday for Eli.  Clearly his favorite is Michaelangelo (I think...)

- New Covid/birthday purchase with the blow up water park, WORTH EVERY PENNY!

- Backyard camping

- Beach trips to kick off summer

The Blog is BACK!!

 With the pregnancy of our third babe, I am going to try and start the blog again.  I love going back and looking at all of the stats from Eli and Everley, and compare them together.  SO, with that being said, I am beginning by documenting our last days of summer 2020.  

What an "exciting" summer it has been for us.  The move, the babe, the break (-ing of the foot) ... We are through the thick of it (so I think).  Now, we can begin to laugh and understand God's timing in all of this, but I was definitely questioning in the moment.  

In no particular order, here are some entries of our summer adventures in good 'ole Fairfield, CT.
