Even though it was a bit early, with my weekly travel schedule out to Texas we decided to celebrate Ashley’s birthday one day early.
I decorated the backyard and we bought Ashley’s favorite things to eat, seafood. There were big scallops and jumbo prawns. So that I didn’t mess up good food, Ashley cooked them while Emery and I decorated the patio. We brought the stereo outside as well and dined into the evening. We ended a great meal outdoors with a small strawberry cake, another one of Ashley’s favorite things. Here som pics from the evening.
Ok, it’s true that we are just finishing the Mother’s Day art project one day before Father’s Day. That is just how we roll.
I bought the supplies and frames from a local arts and craft store. Ashley chose the photos of her and Emery that she loves. I setup the project space and Ashley and Emery worked together to create this beautiful board. Here’s some pics of their work:
My mom, Emery and I took a day trip to Haverhill, the town we lived in for about 2-3 years between 1988-1991. Life was simpler then and I was in third grade, learning to swim at the Y and walking everywhere with my mom. There are lots of good memories from Haverhill.
We drove to New York City to show Emery where she was born and also to reminisce about our days living in timesquare. Here’s some photos from the trip:
