Xander and Clare

Lexi and Clare: A meeting of the (underwater) minds.

Xander adores Addie.

You watching, Mom?

Clare's last ever Level 2 cheer. She graduated up to Level 3!

X is almost ready for Level 4 but (to his relief), not quite there yet.

Helping Michael with the basement family room renovation.

Clare's Loving Space Preschool graduation ceremony!

It was so fun to experience the big day with friends.

Such amazing teachers.

Cheering on each child as they ran past when their name was called.

Here comes Clare!

Tickled.

Maya!

Henry and Leo (and their parents) came by for a long-overdue
visit. We had so much fun getting all caught up.

And now a few random photos from earlier this summer...

Killing time with Sports Illustrated while Clare gets her hair cut.

The fort X built was so awesome that he slept in it for several
nights -- and even let Clare sleep over once.

Michael and Xander at the Ken Griffey induction into the
Mariners Hall of Fame game.

Amazing view from one of the hikes the boys have taken this summer.

Seeing themselves in the rocket at the new Rocket Donuts
in Fairhaven.

Sunset at Marine Park.
