Father's Day 2018

Happy Father's Day to Kevin- patient and wonderfully fun father and husband. Kevin slept in today, and when he got up, the kids showered him with little kid gifts constructed at school. We spent the afternoon at the beach. When we got back and hosed off, Kevin took a little silent hike alone. Hope he enjoyed the day!

Cedar Beach Walk 2018

Sunday was a little too chilly for sunbathing, so we went for a walk along our town beach.

Jaime Visits- August 2017

Jaime visited on her way to Massachusetts and back. We took the kids to the beach, ate sushi for dinner twice, and visited Mattituck for a wine bar and delicious dinner on Love Lane. We even got Italian Ice, which I'm clearly obsessed with this summer.

Summer Family Fun- July 2017

We had a crazy Monday this week. We went to the beach, took James to an art class at the library, and went to a Long Island Ducks game with Jennifer, Frank, and Dominick.

Easter in Brookhaven 2017

The Easter bunny left two baskets and a kids' Bible. And the weather was so beautiful we went to the beach! Great day!

Found the baskets!
