A Boy's Lair - Squared

This weekend we were able to put some finishing touches on Owen and Mitchell's bedrooms. While not Houzz-worthy,  I know that someday I'll want to remember a time when yellow chevron animals, paper airplanes and cribs were age appropriate. The first set of pictures are Mitchell's nursery and the second are Owen's bedroom in the "new house."

Summer Goings-on

Summer is in full swing and we've been having lots of fun. Owen started going to a new school. As you can see, they rolled out the red carpet on his first day. While he doesn't have much fun saying goodbye to Daddy in the morning, we're told that he's having a great time.

Admit a torrential rainstorm, Mitchell turned 3 months on July 4th. Our chubby Yankee Doodle!

After spending the holiday pent up indoors, the next day we headed to Newport for a picnic and kite flying. Owen picked out a "Nemo" kite and we all had fun flying it.

Mitch kicked back in the shade but enjoyed himself, nonetheless. 

And it just wouldn't be summer without some good times with old friends;

and a little downtime for quiet reflection.
