Memorial Day 2009


The picture to your left is the one that will appear in an upcoming Caline For Kids ad!


Phenonmenal Memorial Day weekend! Starting with the Big Band Dinner Dance in Gales Ferry for The Academy of St. Therese (the school Grami started). The 16-piece String Of Pearls band includes... on the trumpet... Howard Brundage! Grampi is one of the newest members of the band, and they perform every Wednesday at Cherrystones Restaurant in Old Lyme. It was amazing to see him on stage again! All the musicians - including drummist Dick Campo - donated their time to the event, and all the sisters believe these were really two shows wrapped into one! Grami did an amazing planning job, and while Isabelle and Mommy danced (and filmed), Daddy was enjoying Jay Maggi's wedding in Western MA.



Boating season is officially here! "I'm the captain!" Anika announced. All the girls got a turn at driving! Isabelle is no wuss, and she went for her first swim of the season in Hadley's Harbor (along with her first two tinkles in the ocean and first fall-from-the-swim-platform). It was awesome hanging out with Anika, Uncle Mommy, Uncle Matt, Oliva, and another Uncle Matt! We wish Elli, Auntie Brita, Uncle Jerry and Heather could have been with us!

We had hoped to boat to MV on Sunday, but the fog was insane. So, we hopped on the Island Queen for Oak Bluffs (halfway there we crossed from rain, fog and cold to sun, clear and 70s! Sushi, carousel, ice cream, bike ride (i.e. naps for the girls), sand bar... in that order.

We're so excited about Uncle Sean's new southern Cal lifestyle in Hull! He needs flood insurance--love that!
