Once a year in early May, the Trinidad family's authentic Mexican sombrero comes in handy
Tessie needed empty tissue boxes for her feet and the tissues had to go somewhere
Movie night at Bowman school. We watched the Peanuts movie and the girls switched around a little bit between Peanuts and Hotel Transylvania 2.Who knew a 9 year-old and a 7 year-old would enjoy a movie about a monster's hotel?
Mother's Day at Crane's beach
Sun hat and fleece: springtime in New England
The estate had grounds with a casino to explore. While the older girls faced off in checkers...
Mommy crushed Tessie in chess
It was quite a run to end of the allee
Thanks to a new house rule that lets the last place team holder re-assign at Thanksgiving, Erin switched to Leicester to win the Premier League and was rewarded with the giant Cup(cake)
Erin's art from her after-school program was on display
After visiting thirty-something states outside of New England we finally made a pilgrimage to Vermont
and it lived up to its billing as the understated, well-heeled counterpart to its live-free-or-die neighbor

Vermont's dependency on New York dough is evident in its lone National Park site, Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller NHP. It bills itself as the home of early 19th century conservationists Marsh and Billings. But it took the marriage of Billings's granddaughter to Laurance Rockefeller to create the New York-funded glam dairy farm that the heart of the park today.
Yes, this is true, see movie below
but ducklings are pretty close to alpacas on the cuteness scale

Dandelions at soccer practice
Hard-core journalism
