The Beach House

We finally got possession of the house in Narragansett and the look on Rayna's face tells the whole story.....it was a mess!!!! We rented a 30 yard dumpster and filled it in 2 days!.....rugs, furniture, mattresses even the toilets! Thank goodness for our great friends Joe and Michael (and of course Amanda and Gabriel and sometimes Rayna and Clint) We spent the whole summer cleaning and painting. The sun porch was the cleanest room in the house so we turned it into the master suite and all slept out there, we had a big pj party all summer.

4th of July

And finally to the beginning of summer.....another great trip to the Cape. We celebrated with our great friends Joe, Michael and Joyce and then the kids came. We had such a great time with them at the beach...Gabriel and Isaac both love the water and playing in the sand, but doesn't every kid :-)

Where Did The Summer Go!!!

I had a few quiet minutes tonight so I thought I'd check the blogs.....I haven't been on here since June!!!!!!!!!!!! So much has happened this summer, we've been working on the house in Narragansett that Paul finally got back from his stepmother, that has taken up most of the summer. Big news with Amanda and Gabriel.....Chris decided he needed to go back to Florida, the loser couldn't take the responsibility of having a family so he ran home to mommy and daddy. Amanda is doing OK, she was blown over with his decision but decided that it was in their best interest to stay here and let the waste of space go home. I tried to stay out of the whole situation but I have to say I was glad to see him leave. Things have really been crazy, I have tons of pictures and lots of stories that I'll have to catch up on. I hope everyone had a great summer!

The Murray's Boarding House

It's been pretty busy here for the past few months. Clint's been working on their new house and it's starting to really come along which is a good thing because Amanda, Chris and Gabriel are leaving AZ this Saturday (June 5th) and heading here to stay with us. Chris is done with the air force and they decided to move out here to pursue a new career. They are going to drive across the country, making stops along the way to visit some of Chris's family and any other interresting things they might find. They should be here around the 12th or 13th. I'm excited to have Amanda coming home and of course my little buddy :-) It's going to be a great summer with my two beautiful grandsons!

So Entertaining

I just can't help myself. I think I take about a thousand pictures of Isaac every day, he just cracks me up.

30 YEARS!!!

Paul and I are married 30 years! We went up to the Berkshires for the weekend. The weather could have been warmer - one morning it was 34!!! - but the sunsets were beautiful and we had a great time. Happy anniversary Paulie, it sure has been a fun 30 years :-)

While we were in the Berkshires we found this beautiful farm. It had a petting barn - as you can see Paul and I enjoyed the animals - and some great vegetables and plants.

Sumo Wrestler

Isaac has a small flat spot on the back of his head so Rayna and Clint decided to have it fixed. He has to wear this helmet for a couple of months and it's already working. He so good about it, he doesn't fuss at all...what a little trooper. It's suppose to be navy blue but as you can tell it turned out purple. We're going to decorate it with some stickers.

Lumpy fruit

Isaac just doesn't like applesauce, but he has no trouble eating everything else!

Weekend On The Cape

Paul and I went to the Cape last weekend and the weather was beautiful!! We rode the bike all weekend and made a new friend too :-) For those of you who have been to the Cape with us the beach pictures are of Skaket beach. I couldn't believe what all the winter storms did to it. Paul and I are sitting on a wind made wall where it use to be completely flat and there should be a whole lot more sand under that boardwalk.

First Ride

Paul and I finally took the bike out this weekend and it was beautiful!

We ride by this place in CT all the time and it was finally open so we went in for lunch. It was the coolest place, it reminded me of my kitchen with all the stuff on the walls. We sat outside on the deck and had a delicious lunch. It was a perfect relaxing day.

Isaac At Play

Isaac is such a happy baby. I just love watching him play.

The Easter Bunny

Such a little cutie!

More Work at the New House
