First day of school!

Today was the first day of school.  Elan started 2nd grade and Mila started Kindergarten.  Mila was so excited to be able to go on the bus with all the big kids.

Another weekend with friends

Mat came down to the cape on Thursday and we had a few great beach days.  Before Mat got down we took the kids for a 5-mile bike ride.  They all did great and Mila did an awesome job keeping up with the big kids.  Our friends, Kat, Geoff and Caroline Hollywood, stayed with us until late Saturday night.  The kids had a great time and we couldn't have asked for better beach and inflatable park weather!

Mom's week

Mat had to go back to work after our crazy weekend but I got to stay on the cape with the kids.  On Monday we relaxed, got to look at the eclipse and finished up the evening with a ice cream and a concert on the beach.  The kids made friends with two women who were using a metal detector to find things on the beach.  They had a blast but didn't find anything too exciting.
On Tuesday we got to ride bikes and hit golf balls.  On Wednesday the weather wasn't great so we spent the morning at an arcade but then our friends came down and we took the kids miniature golfing.  Mat comes down tomorrow so we are planning a beach day!

Crowded house!

This weekend we had 16 people staying at the cape house.  We had our core group of friends from grad school and all their kids.  It was a bit crazy but mostly fun.  The kids all got along really well. 

Digging holes

This weekend we got to spend more time at the beach.  The highlight of the beach was the massive holes we dug.

Mila's 5-year checkup

Today Mila had her 5-year checkup.  She did hearing and eye exams.  Everything looks great and the doctor commented that "she has some spice to her".... oh, Mila!
Stats:  Weight: 42.6lbs.  Height 43"

Beach weekend

The kids were on the cape all week at camp with Grandma and Grandpa D.  So, Mat and I went down on Friday after work.  It was great to see them and hear about all their camp adventures.  On Sunday we lucked out with a great beach day topped of with ice cream.
