Just seems like our time all together in the week is limited, and will certainly be even more so when Trev starts Kindergarten. So when we found ourselves on a day with no school for Trev and no tutoring for me, we decided to spend the whole day in the city. I will NEVER forget what a fun day we had!

Hotel Fun in Atlanta
Justin was in Atlanta for Passion 2011, a multi-day, morning to night worship experience. The kids and I got to stay with him at the Atlanta Hilton one night, and it was SO MUCH FUN! I'm telling you, forget big extravagant vacations. We could take these kids to a Motel 6 for a night and they'd be happy campers! Window fun

The Girl Can Cook!
Tonight we had ravioli with a marinara/alfredo sauce. Aila made the alfredo sauce from scratch--with minimal help from me! Here she is swirling the butter around the pan by tipping the handle up and down...

Another Year, Another Burt's Run
Tiny, But Tenacious!
It was pretty amazing. Aila was determined to climb the web tower at Bounce-U. And she did! There were kids twice her age couldn't make it all the way up. But that's her at the top of the tower in this next picture!
That tiny little girl had this really focused, intense "Eye of the Tiger" look on her face.

Boston Trip Favorite Pics
I am way, WAY behind in posting about our trip up north. I took 300+pics...but I'll spare you the majority of them.
Here are some of the highlights!
Little Ailey
Sitting on the porch just rocking away...
S'mores!!! I rediscovered these glorious things when I was pregnant with Aila, but they're especially scrumptious with toasted marshmallows!
Justin and Pop with the kids
Mirror Lake. So pretty!
Kids at the cottage
Cracking up...
Oh, I love this shot.
Trevor's train ride
Oh my word, the "Eat Me" lobster. From the front he looks like a family friendly character. You can see my children are happy to meet their new sea creature friend. But then you get a glimpse from behind... Storyland with Pop and Essie!
Essie and Aila at the T Station
Where it all began! This is right where Justin and I got engaged--in the backyard of the home where he grew up. My ring was in an easter egg on this stone fireplace right next to us.
Family day in the city! We had so much fun at the Boston Children's Museum.
Aaaaaaa! This was the face Aila made when "Single Ladies' by Beyonce came on the radio. The girl loves a good dancin' song!
even though I know they were looking at a dead duck in the water!!!
Trevor and trains....
Loved the lupine. Also love my camera's ability to capture the beauty of it all!
Running through the lupine...

Trevor reading his favorite book on a roadtrip
Smooch. :)
Justin and his hammock...I think he would've been happy spending all 2 weeks in that thing!

Aila at the Boston Children's Museum. Cuteness!!!
You can take the boy out of Boston...
LOVE this shot--you can see on Trevor's face just how scrumptious this pizza was.
Oh, how I miss Flatbread's Pizza in Maine!

T is for Trevor! I took this shot because when I was a 23-year old single woman living just outside Boston, someone took a picture of me inside the giant T. Now a decade later, here's my Trevor posing by the T!

Oh, the chasing of the pigeons....they would've been happy doing this all day!
The blur of the T (Boston subway system)
I love this--these are the steps of the home in which Justin grew up. I imagine he sat on these steps when he was Trevor's age!
