This year has been a little crazy for us...to say the least. Will is in paramedic school takes up at least one day of his week and now that he's doing clinical hours things have been much busier.
This is in addition to the huge home improvement project of putting in all new hard wood floors on the first floor of our house and taking out the wall between our kitchen and dining room.
Harper started preschool three days a week which changed our schedule even more. We all agreed that our vacation in June (although amazing) was not enough vacation for the summer. So we planned a weekend away with some fire department friends in September.
Will and I have lived a few places in our 6 years of marriage, Boston, Virginia, Brattleboro and Quechee/Lebanon. To say the least we are happy not to be moving again anytime soon but we are also blessed for the amazing people who have come into our lives along the way.
In Lebanon we have made some really great friends through Will's work. They aren't just work friends that you spend time with a work functions. They are real friends that we want to spend lots of time with. Our friends Michelle and Jimmy have a son who is just 2 weeks younger than Harper. We would want to spend lots of time with them anyway but our kids make it even more fun.
So we went with them to Maine to a place where they had stayed before. We ate good food, saw some sights, played on the beach, flew kites and found a zoo that was much more fun than it looked from the outside. It was a super fun and busy trip and we loved every minute of it.

Most amazing butterfly I've ever seen
Flying kites - Harper flew her first kite at a puppet show in Putney with my dad...ever since we've been excited to do it again. The windy beach day proved the perfect opportunity.
We had as much fun flying it as she did
