Festive Memorial Day Wknd in Cape Cod!

-
The boys, Jim, and I are celebrating our second Memorial Day weekend. Last year the boys were just a few weeks old and Auntie Chrissy visited us in Virginia. This year, we are one year old and we are celebrating in Cape Cod.  We lucked out having such nice weather. It is still a little cool in the Cape, but we have some beautiful clear skies.

Here we were crossing the Sagamore bridge over to the Cape on Friday.


On Saturday morning, the boys and I went for a walk - and planned on walking straight to the beach like we usually do. However, plans changed when we walked right into this road race about a quarter mile from our house. The road was pretty much blocked off, so instead of walking to the beach, we cheered on the runners! Caden and Conor loved seeing all the people.


Late Saturday afternoon when the roads opened up, we finally took the boys to Keyes Beach. Last summer they were too young to touch the sand or even know what was going on. This year it was much more fun. It was a little windy, so they didn't love the sand hitting their faces. We lathered them up in sunscreen and put their hats on. That lasted all of 5 minutes with the wind.


Here is our current Phelan family photo. Photo cred to Jessica Phelan. We visited with Bill, Jess, and their new daughter, Sloane. She is 6 weeks old and had her first beach/cape visit. She is adorable. New cousin for C and C!


 We then enjoyed some cookies after the beach...yum!


Then took a bath and watched some Daniel Tiger (of course)...


We enjoyed some backyard fun at a neighbor's house.  This is Conor....


And here's Caden....ha.  I swapped them out and put the other in the swing. They loved it. We bought a swing set off craigslist about 2 weeks ago. Can't wait to set it up in our backyard in Hyannis. The boys will love it. The boys can swing in the swing set and Mama can swing in the hammock. ;)


We were pooped, so we rested a bit with Daddy. There is nothing like that Cape Cod air. So relaxing.


Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Have fun and stay safe.

xo,
Shaz

P.S. Flashback photo to last Memorial Day...crazy how much has happened in a year!

  Here is Cal’s journal :) Saturday Feb 18 We packed our big van and drove to NEW YORK CITY.  It was a long drive. We got to play the switch for a little bit, and we also rested. We got Subway turkey sandwiches on the way to New York. We stopped at a rest stop to go pee. It was crowded. Then continued driving to New York. We got to the hotel in new york and our room was not ready. We walked to central park and climbed rocks and took pictures of birds. We saw some big horses that had carriages on them for people to have a ride around the park. We went to the central park zoo but it was closed. We then found mom and dads friend Lauren and we got pizza together. Dad helped her get a taxi home. We went to bed in the hotel and saw lots of lights and buildings. Sunday Feb 19 We went back to Central Park to feed the birds and eat bagels. We had so much fun feeding the birds.  I love Mom.  I love Dad.  I love Conor and Caden so much.  I love me.  I love everyone in the world. We saw people ice

 Here is Mr Caden Francis! Saturday Feb 18 We rented a new car and packed it up on Saturday morning.  We then drove to New York.  It took almost 4 hours! We did a little bit of television, then we rested with our blankets and pillows and then we ate Subway sandwiches.  When we got to NY, we went to Central Park! There were so many birds there. We took a lot of pictures of birds at the New york park (the birds were fat). It was SO FUNNY! We then saw Dad’s friend Lauren and got pizza with her. We watched some youtube videos while we were at dinner. The pizza was so yummy.(My Favorite Bird in the world.) Sunday Feb 19  On Sunday morning we woke up in NY city. We found a place that sold bagels!!! We each ordered a bag and walked back to Central Park. We were sad when we found out the bird sanctuary was closed until 11 o'clock. We were sad but we still saw some more birds and tried to give them our crumbs. We then got in our car and started to drive to Washington DC It took about 4 h

Me and Jim have some hard news to share. We originally did not think we were going to post something so personal - but while going through this experience, I feel it’s important to share our story and hopefully help other people going through this same emotional roller coaster. It’s sad, it’s frustrating, it’s scary, and quite frankly it is ROUGH.   Here is our story - We surprisingly found out we were expecting over the Fourth of July, our favorite holiday and our favorite week with our favorite people. Naturally, it felt exciting because it was an awesome time. Nonetheless, we were shocked and terrified because our youngest is five. Quite the age gap when you have three kids in 26 months. Fast forward: On Friday, September 24, 2021, when I was 16 weeks pregnant, we found out we were having our fourth boy. We were excited and not at all surprised haha. We knew it was another boy by my symptoms and how I felt.  September 24 is my moms birthday, and September 23 is my dads birthday. Tha
