I'm Back (sort of)

After a long, exhausting, exhilarating summer full of road trips, vacationing, visiting family and friends, indecision, laughs, date nights, lots of change, and one month as a single Mom we are officially getting settled in our new home: Walpole, Massachusetts! You forget how much work moving is, until you are in the thick of it, and even worse once you have to unpack and resettle your lives.  We are nearly there and so I can safely say that one of my goals over the coming few weeks is to return to blogging!  I'm going to attempt to catch up our lives but no promises it will ever actually be complete.  Either way, we are happy to be in our own place again (even if it is the third story apartment and we have a cranky, older woman that lives below us and hates noise of any kind).  We are happy to have Jesse working crazy hours, thus providing us income again.  We are happy to have the children all settled into school for the year.  Now it's time to branch ourselves out and get some friends out here :)

Until then, I've got a blog that can keep me some company.....

Picking Peaches



We found this adorable farm on our way home from taking Maddie to gymnastics.  On a whim we stopped and decided to check out what you could pick. (Eli didn't even have any shoes with him)  We were so glad we did this.  They had the most delicious peaches and nectarines ready to be picked and enjoyed.  The boys and I purchased the bag and off we went.  We had a wonderful time selecting the juiciest, ripest peaches on the trees.  

When this was done, we decided to walk around for a bit.  The boys loved all the farm animals you could see and pet.  They also loved the fun old fashioned swings, slides, and gigantic sand box.  What a fun day was had by all!  






I was so excited about this find, that four days later I took all the children back there.  To my disappointment the peaches were no longer being offered to pick.  Thank goodness we had stopped the week before.
