Big Kid On Campus

5th grade for this cutie.  Growing up too fast....

Today was a success!💜

Middle School Bound

Can't believe he's off to middle school this morning.  😭

Bye kiddo.....Good luck!!  💙

He was more excited to tell us about school when he got home, than ever before!  I think he was ready for Blanchard Middle  :-)

Laps For LaCoste

Last month a beloved elementary school principal in our town fell out of a tree while playing with his children and suffered a spinal cord injury.  To raise money for his medical care and to help with the family's expenses, we threw an amazing fundraiser at our pool club today -- Laps for LaCoste.  The turnout was amazing, despite the unseasonably chilly weather.  We raised over $8,000 for the LaCoste Family.  Such an amazing day!

Opening ceremony jumps off the high dive.

My girl scout troop ran a very successful bake sale.

Plunge for the Principal trophies. :-)

Sean was the winner in the adult plunge category.  (No one needs to know that he was the only contestant.....LOL!)

We're rooting for you, Kevin!!💙

Jimmy Fund 5K

This awesome group of boys ran the Jimmy Fund 5k today to raise money and awareness for kids with cancer.  The cutie in the middle has been battling T-Cell Lymphoma for a little over a year, and has about another year left of treatment.  He's the 8 year little brother of one of Aiden's good friends.  So proud of these boys for training for and running this race for Shravan.  Big Hearts!

Our whole team.

A strong finish for Aiden.

Aiden took first place for the under 13 boys!  His medal was presented by Boston Police Commissioner William Gross.  Such an honor.  Way to go, Aiden.\!

Helping to get ready for our big Laps for LaCoste fundraiser tomorrow.

Westwinds Day Camp

Aiden returned to Cub Scout Camp this week -- this time as a camp counselor.  His main job was to help kids cook around the campfire (and it was mostly a HOT week for campfires...)  He had a fun, but exhausting time.  :-)

Breakfast Date

It's been awhile since Bree got to see "The Maine Elizabeth"

It was great to see my high school bestie and her sweet girl.  💕

The Smell of a New Book

Phippsburg

Aunt Lee is visiting from Florida, and invited the family to her cottage in Phippsburg for a lobster feast.🦞

Kayaking in Brigham's Cove.

With Grammy and Joe Joe.

After Mom smoked Uncle Barrio in the fastest game of Chess in history, Aiden decided to take him on next.

It was a close game, but Uncle Barrio beat the 11 year old in the end.  Next year, Aiden.  Next year.

Don't take my picture!!!!!!
