Izzy's First Day of School (First Bus Ride too!)

Today is Izzy's first day of Kindergarten! She's so excited to start at her new school, and get to ride the bus all by herself as well.

Waiting at the bus stop...

The other kids at our stop.

A HUGE thunderstorm came thru in the 10 min we were waiting for the bus. Loudest thunder and lightning I've heard in a while. I figured it was God's way of saying "Goodbye, and have a great day at school!" =)

Running to the bus in the rain.

There she goes... and of course I followed the bus in my car and parked across the school entrance to make sure she made it into the building ok - which she did.

House Facelift

We've been doing a gradual makeover to the exterior of our house. Here's how everything looked BEFORE: (Notice the very dirty/back trim along the roof and around the windows, as well as the worn, old wood door.)

Old original 1960's wood garage doors.

The NEW look after everything has been completed! Nothing "radical" was changed (besides the garage doors), just cleaning and updating all the pieces.

We replaced all the windows last November. Then this summer we clean and repainted all the trim and doors, put in new gutters and downspouts, and installed a new glass storm door at the front of the house.

Just last week, the final piece was finished - new garage doors!

Red Sox!

Last night Zach and Emily made their inaugural trip to Fenway Park! Our indoctrination to the Fenway Faithful and a lifetime of rooting for the Red Sox has begun. =) This was Izzy's 3rd trip to see the Red Sox. She got to go last year by herself. Her first trip was at age 9 months, so she probably doesn't remember that.

Where the love of the Red Sox began... thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Introne.

The first of MANY family trips to Fenway Park!

Z&E Birthday Party (Part 2)

The Loot (before).

The Loot (after). Looks like Toys R Us exploded in my living room!

Izzy wasn't left out.

Mommy finally got a picture with her birthday twins.

Zach and Emily's 4th Birthday Party (Part 1)

Yesterday we celebrated Zach and Emily's 4th Birthday with a pool party/BBQ in the backyard. We were blessed with GORGEOUS weather, lots of good friends and everyone had a ton of fun.

Breaking in the slip-n-slide.
