Rosalie and Tom's September Stay

Nana RoRo and Big Papi came to stay with us for five days this past week, giving me plenty of time to sneak away to the library and do my schoolwork and lots of quality time with Keels for them. The autumnal weather was perfect for walks around Bethel and fun times at the park.

Fall Visit to Holyoke

We traveled from Boston to Holyoke, MA on our way back so that we could visit with the Ferriters and with Nana Mengel while Emmet had some time off. As always, there was a lot of laughter around Moss and Peg's dinner table and delicious food to be had. Keeley enjoyed some quiet time with her "Amma" and "Papa" Ferriter the next morning going for walks around the circle and collecting leaves. 

Big Thank You to Mary Ferriter!

This is a special shout out to Mary, or as we lovingly refer to her for Keeley, "Mae Mae" for giving us her apartment for three days and helping take care of Keeley so we could have some fun as a couple out in Beantown! Beautiful memories all because of you!

 Walk in charming Beacon Hill

 Keeley tasted burrito and guacamole for the first time with Mary

Best playground ever!

First Family Trip to Boston

We planned a trip to Boston this past weekend to celebrate Emmet's exam being over and get together with old friends and to see Mary. Couldn't have asked for more beautiful fall weather! It was very sentimental being back in our old hometown.

Madeleine Mae's Baptism

This weekend I had the great privilege of becoming Maddie's Godmother! Kerin and Sean threw a big party at their new home in Fairfield and everyone celebrated the new angel in the family. Adorned in her Mom's Christening gown, Madeleine was as beautiful as can be.
