Last Day at the Cape

Our boys are home now and are sleeping in...mounds log laundry, a few injuries, and lots of fun memories and character building happened this weekend!

Here are a few pictures from yesterday....the first 3 are from their drill practice....this is the part I really missed seeing.

I think this trip tired Joe out....what do you think?

More pictures from the Cape

Do you think Joe is tired?  This is Joe at morning at devotions....I am loving it!

Raking and yard work....also a bit of cutting trees.

Here is our Mike raking with some of the other NH boys.

Good Morning From the Cape

What a beautiful morning!  Received this early this morning....some of those boys are ours!

Alert Cadet at the Cape

My hubby and boys are at the Cape this weekend....that is Cape Cod for those non-New Englanders.  They are doing a service project....cutting wood, raking, grounds keeping for a cottage that is hoping to some day service adoptive families with limb differences.

They arrived yesterday and spent some time on the beach right outside the front door.  In between work, they also have been able to play some waffle ball and volleyball.

Michael walking the beach...it is a truly spectacular spot on the beach.

Joe and Brandon doing some fishing with their own home made fishing blocks which they are very proud of.

Some volleyball and baseball were played today too in between work projects.

Just Love Coffee

Well, here we go!

We have been looking at fundraisers to help us on our way to bringing our boys home.  This one sounded like it was up our alley.....coffee. 

 We are a family of coffee drinkers....all except Mom and Mike.

Anyway, it is easy....enjoy delicious flavors from all over the world!  

Here is a sampling of what they offer....

Sounds like a win/win situation!

Thanks SO much!

This Weekend

This is the view from the docks in Wolfeboro after we met at the Bubble for Nicole's 10th Birthday....isn't it gorgeous?

Three families and lots of ice cream ended here at the gazebo on the lake.  When we first arrived we got to see the Jr. Prom for the local high school enter "The Mount", the Mt. Washington boat that cruises the beautiful lake. Boys in their tuxs and girls in beautiful dresses were every where.

Here is Jason just relaxing.

Darrell with Grace....this was after the surprise pictures I took---so glad she showed her beautiful smile!

Here Daryl Collomy chats with Grandpa Dave.

Here is a shot we took from painting the dining room...the boys were a hugehelp in  getting it done.  This was followed by them helping a family friend cutting and chopping wood.

Enjoyable weekend!

Mike and Jason

We went to an event this weekend for Foster Care...we had fun!

There were crafts, ponies, games, storytelling and wonderful families to connect with!

We sang as a family and Michael won a laptop! Yeah!  We are excited for him. He is our newest family photographer and now he can put his pictures and video on his own computer!  He was excited!

Jason is in his 3rd week of taking a post and beam class. He is enjoying the work and the skills will help him in his future. They are building a bridge. Right now, he is learning all he can.

Fun things happening!
