Shannon’s World

After lunch in Milton, we headed to Cape Cod for a visit with our good family friends the Amaral’s (they recently left No Va and moved to the Cape). The Amaral’s daughter, Shelly was there w/ her husband Mike (I was in their wedding 16 years ago!) and daughter’s Carlyn (my glasses twin) and Meghan (my god daughter). We enjoyed seeing the Amaral’s new house and catching up with everyone. Both Carlyn and Meghan are great readers; Carlyn finished Harry Potter in 1.5 days! Meghan is a gymnast and showed off her tumbling in her grandparents backyard (I did a few cartwheels, too!).

Meghan and Carlyn were a huge help with Libby, so much so that I told Shelly and Mike that Carlyn needs to come to our house next summer for a week or two to be a mother’s helper! I hope we can meet up with the Amaral’s and Matheny’s every year when we travel to New England.

Monday brought a day of rest and a little shopping. I went out with my Mom and Aunt to do a little shopping and enjoy some lunch. Monday was our last day with my Mom (aka the Grammy-Nanny!). I feel so, so lucky that she was able to spend practically a month at our house watching Libby and helping Mike and I take care of some projects around the house. I miss her so much and am keeping my fingers cross that they continue to develop their plans to move to Indianapolis.
