Eleven Years Ago

 

This popped up in my Facebook memories today. 
Eleven years ago we had the most incredible first trip to Disney ever. 
I captured this moment as the girls were walking through Orlando International as we made our way to the gate to head back to Boston. 

I called this picture "In which Princess Anna and Queen Elsa head north." 
This feels like a lifetime ago and just yesterday all at the same time. xo

Grace came home from working at the farm yesterday with this goregous bouquet she made!

My Little Corner

 

I'm only at the school building two days a week but I have to admit that I just love my little corner. It has such a good vibe! xo 

With Thanks

In which Grace is working to get her thank-you notes written and sent. xo 

Yesterday at Church

 

Yesterday, Grace and August were invited to share their senior speeches from Pilgrim Lodge at church. Grace voluneteered to go first and spoke about what PL had meant to hear and how she learned the value of making friends and reconnecting with them each year. It was wonderful to hear these two young adults speak so beautifully about what Pilgrim Lodge has meant to them and how much they will miss it now that they have graduated. xo 

Twenty-Three Years

 

Twenty-three years ago, during a heatwave, these two crazy kids got married. in a church with no air conditioning There is no way we could have known what lay ahead for us (though getting arried in August in a church with no air conditioning should have given us a clue!) but isn't that true of all great adventures?! In twenty-three years we have had a lot of adventures; some good. Some not so good. All helped us to become the people we are today (with our two girls being our most incredible adventure of them all)! In the words of the Indigo Girls, "if we ever leave a legacy, it's that we loved each other well." And indeed, my love, that we have. xoxox 

Request Granted
