Six months! That is a really long time. It had been six months since we last saw my parents. That is just too long. We made up for lost time in their 10 days here. We stayed really busy, and I think we were all exhausted by the end of their trip!
Mother's Beach in Portland, Maine. It was beautiful!
Quechee Gorge is one of our favorite places in Vermont. The Gorge, along with a lot of other of our favorite places in Vermont were damaged by the flooding. We went on what ended up being a very short walk to see the Gorge, since it was closed. But, as always, it was still beautiful.
Everything always just looks better after by parents have been here. Last trip was the shelf building trip, this trip was the get the house ready to sell in the Spring trip! We sanded and stained the porch, cleaned up the front yard, and my dad organized the garage--because he's just really good at that!
We FINALLY took Chase on a real train ride! We went on the Hobo Railroad, and Chase was so adorable.
Chase & Nana
Chase started Preschool...how did this happen? I swear he was just born. Leaving my baby with someone else to teach him, wow, it was really hard. He has been all mine for 3 1/2 years. I probably would have been just fine keeping it that way forever. But I realize that it's not all about me. Even though my heart is still breaking every time I drop him off, he is thriving in school, and that is all that matters.
