Thankful for Thanksgiving & Family

This weekend my sister reminded me how behind I am on my blog posting!  I am so sorry!  So in an effort to get caught up and to be more regular about posting, I am going to try (keyword try) to make a post everyday through the rest of the month of November saying something that I am thankful for and attach a picture or so to go with it. 

Today, I don't have a picture, but I am thankful for my sweet sister, Annie.  She is a beautiful woman who loves me even though we are so different.  I am thankful that she encouraged me to do this.  Thank you for loving on Connor so well and thank you for being an amazing sister and friend. 

I love you Annie!

Till Tomorrow!!

As Promised...

Here is just a glimpse of Connor and his dancing at the wedding!  He was in and out of the dance floor all night and having a blast with or without a dance partner.

Spring has Come!

Hello Friends and Family,

I am going to stop apologizing and just get stuff up as I get it up!  Ha!!  Here is a quick post with a lot of pictures of what has been going on this Spring!

Warning!!!!!  This post is very picture heavy, but enjoy!!!

My parents came at the last snow, and we built a snowman before it melted!!

Connor reading a map with Pops!!

We went to the aquarium in Boston with my parents and I love how this picture looks like the fish are about to swim in his mouth!

Connor got a big boy bike in April and as you can see he is beyond thrilled!!! 

I threw Brian a small surprise party after one of his Greek classes for his birthday!  It was so fun!!

Happy Easter!!!!

Uncle Rob aka Uncle “Wob” came to visit us and we had a blast with the short weekend he was here! 

At Harpoon, you get to taste beer straight out of the distillery before it has been filtered!  The very cool thing about it was that it began being brewed on Brian’s birthday.  Below is the tag with the date!!  So fun!!

Boston has a very very colorful Spring and I couldn’t resist taking pictures so enjoy!!

We wore them both out!!!

You can’t come to New England without having a Lobster!!!

Rob and Brian smelling the Hops at the Sam Adams Brewery

Brian’s family, parents, sister, and grand parents come up for a wedding!  Connor was a dancing machine!!!  He had so much fun.  I may even post a video of his dancing!

Me with Brian’s Grandfather, and our silly hats at the wedding!

Connor was so happy to finally go on a boat ride!!!

Connor with his Great Grandmother, playing with his trains!  It was such a blessing to have Brian’s grandparents visit for a few days!  Connor really bonded and got to love on and receive love from his Great Grandparents and that is something we will all treasure!

Lastly, this is the on campus turtle friend that we think may be a snapping turtle! 

Thanks for reading this post!  We are doing well and loving New England, more pics of the summer to come soon!

With Love,

Marya, Brian & Connor

Connor & the Camera

So I have learned how to upload videos!! Yay!!!

Connor got a hold of our camera without us knowing.  It was left on video mode and this is one of the videos you captured.  Its just funny to hear him talk to the camera.  Enjoy and anticipate more videos now that I know how to do this!

Winter/Snow and other Fun Adventures!

 

Warning: This post may take a bit to load b/c it is mostly pictures!

On Sunday afternoon Connor wanted to see a lighthouse, so this was one of the closest lighthouses we could at least look at for Connor!  I just loved the seagulls just hanging out on the snow!

You can see the pure joy on Connor’s face, he has loved the snow this winter! 

The pictures above and below are of 2 lighthouses in Portland, Maine, we visited Portland with Brian’s parents in February.

Annie, my sister, and Jordyn, my cousin, came to visit us for part of their Spring Break!  We spent Saturday in Boston and had a blast!  Below are a few more pictures from their visit!

We wanted to get some pictures of the 3 of us as well.  We decided to try and use the self timer!  Annie found on my camera where you can have the self timer take a handful of pictures right in a row.  So we took advantage of it and had a photo shoot!  See Below!

Annie and Jordyn this was way too much fun!  I miss you girls so much! 

On their last day, we went to the Boston Muesum of Science, there were lots of really cool things there, but this was one of my favorites!  What a beautiful animal!
