Wow time is really flying by with all these babies growing up around me. I remember when they were just 4lbs each! And now look at them. I wish I had some pictures to post of when they were teeny tiny but that was before I was taking pictures online. So these were about the oldest I could find: 
The first day of Autumn is upon us which means the fall foliage is starting. In our backyard we're still green but we're starting to see hints of some reds. 
It was the town of Northboro's annual Applefest. They even had a parade. 
Kendall had her eye on this donut eating game where you are supposed to eat the donut without breaking the hole in the middle or something. 
Our friends were there (that's Tyler with his arm around his pal Henry) and Tyler really has the whole waving at everyone in the parade down. I thought his hand would get tired from all that waving he was doing. It got a bit loud when the tow trucks went by honking the horns. 
All in all it was a good tiring morning so after the parade we headed home, we look forward to next year's Applefest.
Tyler has started his soccer class at Teamworks and today he did better than last week. 
Kendall really wants to be a part of the class too but she wasn't old enough to join yet. 
I'm sure the coaches are just thrilled to have her in the way but too bad for them, they should offer a sibling class! 
We want to wish our wonderful Grandma Renee a happy birthday. We wish we could celebrate with her. We're jealous that our cousins Lauren and Kyle get to spend so much time with her but now that we've moved even further it's been almost a year since we've seen her. We miss you Grandma Nay, hope you have a wonderful birthday!
We have some friends who own a small farm in the town of Bolton so we went apple picking there today. They also had a hay ride for everyone which was loads of fun.
I think that means he had a great time. I told Kevin that I might just have to make a pie with all our apples and I think he rolled his eyes at me; I couldn't quite tell since he had his sunglasses on. He may know me better than I think though. On the drive home Tyler said "I worked hard today picking all those apples" 
Today was Tyler's first day of "real" preschool. Out here in Mass kids don't officially start until they are 2.9 years. Tyler turned 2.9 in July so we actually had him start the summer camp for a month but he's been out of school for the whole month of August.
The best thing about Tyler's school is the drop off/pick up procedure. I drive up and they take him out of (or put him in) the car and off he goes. 
First I gave Kendall's room a good scrub down since I can never really clean it when she's around and then I was able to run errands. It's amazing what I could get done in 3 1/2 hours without kids. I think I will be looking forward to every Tuesday and Thursday. By the way Kendall is enjoying her school; she's utterly exhausted when I pick her up which is never a bad thing.
. . . we moved to Massachusetts. Tyler was just turning two, Kendall not even 6 months. What was I thinking? Oh ya better to do it now than before they start school. It's been a year since we ventured out here with no friends or family. When I agreed to the move I actually didn't think anything would come of it. Thinking only how fun it was to talk about the size of house we could have "there" compared to what we had in California. I should have given Kevin more credit because within a month or two he had the job and we were announcing our pending move. 
Everything happened so fast that I didn't even have time to think about what things would be like until we arrived and all I could think was "what in the world did I agree to?" It's not that I hated it here right away it's just nothing was what I expected. In my former life of working in the investment banking world I had wanted to move out to the Boston office. Of course that would have meant living in a CITY not the Country which is where we ended up; Boylston is a town of 3,500 people, that's a far cry from any of the suburbs in California.So while my list of things I've been displeased with here is still longer than what I've grown to like I'm sure my list will continue to grow with pleasantries. I still miss my friends terribly but I've also made some great new ones. I think in the long run this will have proved to be a wonderful move for us. It definitely seems to be a great place to raise our kids and I look forward to what the future brings. Without faults there can be no benefits. Here's to another year of making memories in Massachusetts!
