Monday is the first day of school. I can’t figure out how it came so quickly. we have been having a great summer sans the arguments that brothers have (more as they get older).

when something makes my friends laugh and the same thing makes my husband laugh, I figure I should make it a memory keeper and share it on the blog. Here is an email the owner of our rental sent the Fournier’s with a couple additions from me. Enjoy…

In my younger years (high school and college) I loved listening to heavy metal. I loved Judas Priest and Guns and Roses and listened to Queensryche and Ozzy and the old def leopard. We still have a guns and roses cd that made it into the player. Connor heard it and LOVES it… and I [...]

Last week we shared a house in Madison, NH with our good friends the Fournier’s. It took us moving 8 hours away to become friends with them. In NH, we lived 5 minutes apart from each other for about 3 years and we never made a point to do anything more than say [...]
