New Skool

We know that school usually starts in the fall, but
we like to mix it up around here so Caralena is
starting school in the summer. Here she is with
her giant backpack on the first day of school.

Caralena was looking a little nervous at the door, but
she still forged ahead!

She immediately saw the water table and grabbed
a smock. Day One went well. We'll see how it
goes tomorrow!

Caralena 3.0

On Friday, we had a fun birthday bash for
Caralena and her friends. here we are getting
ready to go.

The party was at Itsy Bitsy Music, just like
last year. The girls love Madeleine's music class!

Mum made cupcakes - just like last year!

Happy birthday, Caralena!

Happy Third Birthday!

Today is a big day. It's Caralena's 3rd birthday,
and also her last day at Kitty's house. Here she
is wearing her bday dress that Grandma Cecilia
made, and the beautiful bracelet made by cousin
Danielle. Thanks for the great gifts!

Mama and Dadoo are kinda sad today.
This seems like a really big girl! She
even starts school next week.

This beautiful dress is for Caralena to
wear in Titi Kelly's wedding in August.
Grandma Cecilia made it - it is perfect!

Annual Pilgrimage

Caralena has been to visit Jason and Kira
at Little Neck every year since she was born.

No matter how hot it is everywhere else, there's
always an amazing breeze off the ocean.

The water was not as painfully cold as it
sometimes is in New England.

We'll be back soon!

Heat Wave

It has been really hot out - yuck! But Caralena
doesn't seem to mind. Here she is getting ready
for dinner at Jen, Jeff and Adie's house.

Adie has a super cool pool in her yard!

We needed to get out of the heat yesterday so we
went to the Museum of Science in Boston.

This display was al about light and mirrors.
That's a lot of Mums and Boodies, huh?
