Some random thoughts and updates (I don't seem to have time for connected thoughts:)!:

We celebrated JM's fourth birthday with a very active party at United Sports Training Center in Downingtown, PA. It was wonderful so many cousins, friends and family could attend! Maggie and JM were joined by JM's brother and his sister which made this birthday very special. Big Pappy, Uncle Mike, Aunt Michelle, Noah and Natalie also were with us for a Blue Rocks game the night before. Great family times!

JM started his new school today - fingers crossed for a smooth transition. His most recent ear tube check went fine and he continues speech therapy this summer as well, so while there is a lot of play in store he'll have some structure too.

JM is very much a boy. He is in a rambunctious stage but can often be very sweet and thoughtful. He can be tough and stubborn and cuddly and funny. JM loves to dance and be active. He's getting into reading too!

A brief photo montage:


JM enjoyed getting his face painted at Maggie's camp open house. Spiderman rocks!

Maggie is very happy to receive her first ever trophy. She loves gymnastics and camp.


JM loves helping Daddy outside and just being outside in general.


Maggie and JM enjoyed their cousin's first birthday!


We are headed to Maine soon for some R&R. After some rest perhaps I'll be able to post a well written blog message.

Enjoy the summer!
