Fall Fun

I have been trying to update the blog for over a week now and finally figured out the problem....my new security  software was preventing the photos from being uploaded.  Meanwhile more fun kept coming so now I have a hodgepodge of events....time with cousin Jhents in Providence, a visit with Rachel, a way-overdue weekend in Philadelphia with Jonathan and Cecelia, pumpkin carving at the Fulcos. For the life of me now I can't organize or space these out so I'm going to call it a day and publish as is.

Day Trip

Our wedding anniversary was on 9/24, so we headed to Maine that weekend to visit Portland and to say hello to the beach where "the big event" took place 11 years ago.  It's always so nostalgic to go back to my childhood vacation AND wedding spot, and it was a beautiful day near sunset, just like the one we chose back then. Except this time we had an 8-year old along for the ride!

Here's Bea, walking down the same "aisle" I did...

and frolicking in the chilly water.  Sadly the beach is eroding more and more each year and I predict our "wedding altar" will be the ocean floor within a decade.

We re-enacted a moment from Bea's first ever visit to Maine in 2009, which was photographed and hangs on her bedroom wall:

Beatrice made us this digital card with our favorite PBS characters on it.

It was a beautiful day on Ferry Beach, both 2016 and 2005......
