Trip out East

Last week, we had the privilege of traveling out East. I attended the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) annual convention for a couple of days in Boston, and we were able to visit Steven's family in Connecticut. We spent much of our time resting in Cape Cod with Steven's parents. It was a wonderful trip, the kids did very well, and we both said it brought our stress level down by about 1/3 (which was much-needed for both of us). Besides the stress of getting out the door and resettling, it was well worth it. Here are some photos of our time....

The stunning Cape Cod sunset. I have a bazillion photos of similar sunsets, yet each one is uniquely beautiful. I cannot get enough...

Baby Joshua (3 months old and bigger than Abigail) and Aunt Martha
Campfire on the beach...Ben loved it, especially the S'mores!
Steven's parents who were so dedicated and generous with us. They even watched the kids for 24 hours for us, so we could have a night alone. It was wonderful for us...I think they had a bit of a challenge on their hands. Apparently the cottage got pretty chilly at night and all of them ended up in the same bed for some part of the night. Not much sleep to be had, yet good memories being built! THANK YOU for all that you did!

These are all the cousins on Steven's side: Megan and new baby Joshua, Zachary and Sara, Ben and Abigail. It was chaotic all being together, and wonderful!

We will be going back around Labor Day and cannot wait to see everyone again. We love you all!!!!
