Summer 2009 : We've had a busy summer so far!  We went to Edaville Rail Road to see Thomas, celebrated Ethan's 4th birhtday, took a couple trips to the beach (the Cape and a lake), Science and Children's museum in Boston,  Zoo in Providence with lots of legos and swinging time inbetween. Ashley is now 8 months and  has been crawling and is now pulling up to stand.  And thanks to Mimi & Papa and Grammy for babysitting so we even enjoyed a couple date nights without the kids!  Hope you enjoy our pics!

September & October 2007 : This fall we visited the Cotswold Wildlife Park where Ethan blended in with the animals by wearing his lion costume, rode the minature steam trains at Cutteslowe Park, and took a trip into London's Aquarium to see the smiley sharks.

August 2007 : We had a busy August with a trip back to MA to see family and friends.  Ethan loved visiting his grandparents and had a blast playing with his cousins. Of course it went by too quickly but we did manage to spend several days at the Cape and enjoy some hot summer weather and a quick trip to Chicago for a wedding before returning back to cold, rainy England!  Though the sun has finally returned (albeit with some cool temps) and we enjoyed a day out in historic Bath, family picnics and playground visits.  Hope you enjoy the photos from this past month.
