HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTIE T AND MARK!! We had such an awesome weekend at Encore. Special thanks to my Dad for setting everything up - and everyone else who pitched in (Chrissy, Linds, Tom, Irene, Ryan, etc) to make it a super special weekend. ;) On Friday night, my dad, Jim and I went to Encore while Chrissy and Lindsey watched my boys with Charlie. That was a huge help and we were able to have such a chill, relaxing night Friday in preparation for Saturday’s festivities! We left Encore early Saturday to bring the boys to soccer. We then had a birthday bbq lunch for T and Mark at our house - even two diff cakes for their bdays haha. Later that night on Saturday, Mark, T, Ashley, Joe, Jim and I had a delicious spread and fun drinks at Mystique. We went to the same restaurant for Jims 35th bday too!  We drove the Jeep to encore. It was beautiful out!!  We got really dressed up on Saturday and had a great night. Dinner was awesome, gambling was fun, we played some fun games. Huge thank you to

Anyway, here’s a trip down memory lane, mostly adulthood. But we’ll see what happens.  My sister has been there for me since day 1. Literally day 1... I snap-chatted my sister after my first ever ultrasound when I found out (alone) that I was pregnant with twins in Los Angeles. My initial reaction was total shock and disbelief. She calmed me down and was genuinely really excited. And if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have these photos of the twins meeting Cal in the hospital at MGH when he was born. She drove from Boston to my house, picked up the twins, and brought them into Boston to meet their little brother. I am so grateful for these pics! This photo was takenaround the same time, when
