In honor of National Sibling Day, I would like to dedicate this post to one of my favorite people - my sister, Chrissy!  I know I’ve blogged about her a ton, but I’m not sure I’ve dedicated an entire post to her.  I also LOVE my SILs and BILs (Linds, T and Joe) - I really lucked out in that category. 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 s...

What a fun week in first grade!!! This week focused on lots of ‘reading’ themes for “Read Across America Week” On Monday, the boys brought their favorite book to school (virtually).  They each brought a different book from Elephant and Piggie series. On Tuesday, it was Culture day. We read a few book based on our culture, and other things that make us “us”. For example, I read “Good Morning Cape Cod” which talks about US history and Plymouth Rock. On Wednesday, they dressed up as their favorite book character. And today they dressed as 100 year old versions of themselves for the 100th day of school! Look at my little old men! We also did haircuts mid week!  On Wednesday, Conor and Caden dressed as “Harold” from Harold and the Purple Crayon; Auntie Chrissys favorite book. Two highlights with my other two favorite guys this week: “Hanging” with Papa - yes, Conor is in the red haha.  Reading with Dad - keeping the theme of the week alive.  Have a great weekend! xo, Shaz...

First beach days of 2021! We went to Covell Beach in the Cape today and the boys got soaked. They had so much fun.   What our NYE looked like - I got ready, did my makeup and put on a dress.  It lasted for about an hour then immediately put on my leggings and glasses lol.  We enjoyed some Veuve at midnight and a nice cab during dinner. I made some top sirloins, sautéed onions and spinach to go with the red wine.  The boys enjoyed some OJ courtesy of Gramps on New Years Day! We then made a firepit and Jims been clearing more of our yard here in the Cape. Tomorrow we are off to grab some more oysters and hang for Uncle Joes birthday! Cal and Dad had a cheers to the new year, too! I hope everyone had a great and safe NYE - here’s to a better 2021!! All for now.  xo, Shaz
