A Few Updates

     The end of July passed very quickly and a new school year is fast approaching. We have been a little busy in the last couple of weeks, so here are a few little updates.

     After the baby shower, the next two weeks were pretty low key. I spent time in Scarborough around the house doing some cleaning and working on a few projects. One of those projects was finally starting our wedding album (only took me a year to get started).

 

    Elliot was here visiting for three weeks while Danielle was in Greece, and Prescott was here with us off and on. We went on many walks/hikes and Sage and Elliot even managed to get locked in the bathroom at one point in time. Thankfully everything turned out all right. But, I think Sage is missing her puppy pals!

     At the end of July Mike and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary. Because it was the paper anniversary we decided to incorporate paper into different activities throughout the day. We started with a scavenger hunt, watched our wedding video, read through some of our old cards/letters, and then enjoyed some champagne and a nice quiet dinner. We didn't get to the crossword puzzles or paper mache. Afterwards we decided to give our year old wedding cake a try. Surprisingly it didn't taste as bad as I thought it would! We had a few bites and then tossed the rest.

Many clues...

The last week in July I headed to NYC with my mom and Jon. I will post more pictures and info about the trip in a separate post.

     Now it August already (CRAZY)! In the first two weeks we have spent some time with family. Mike and Dave participated in a homerun derby at Marshwood to raise money to fight breast cancer (article). My cousin Sam came and visited for a night.  We enjoyed some Wii and a little disc golf with him.  Mike has had some vacation time the last week and a half to spend with his sister Kelly while she was home. We have been to Peaks Island, visited here in Scarborough and spent some time at the Oslin home in Littleton. I am sure we will be making a few more trips to Peaks in the next few weeks before school starts.

    Finally, since Mike had some time off we have worked on a few house projects. We have started to power wash the deck in hopes that we will be able to stain it soon. We also finally stained the shed.

Oh and I almost forgot, Mike got a new car (very exciting)! Toyota Highlander.

     Well, I think those are all of the quick updates I can think of for now. Looking forward to enjoying the last few weeks of summer vacation and hopefully more blogging to follow!
