August in MA

-
Conor, Caden and I decided to spend the month of August in Massachusetts visiting both Nana and Gramps Phelan in Cape Cod, and also Grammy and Grampa Callahan in Woburn. My mom recently had a few cortisone shots in her hands, so she had to take 8 weeks off from work. I thought it would be fun to hang out with Grammy while she rested up!

Look at my happy little three month olds!!! This picture was taken on August 6, 2014 in my old bedroom in Woburn. Conor left, Caden right.


And Caden left, Conor right!


We have been in MA now a little over three weeks - splitting our time between Woburn and Cape Cod. A few weeks ago, my mom and I visited Chrissy for lunch in Boston. We went around the Public Garden and the Common. It was such a beautiful day. I even visited the Boston office for my work! I was happy to visit with Milady and walk around the city. Here are a few favs from the day.


 
DADDY came back to MA and visited with us for the week. Here are the boys hanging in the den watching football.



One of our most favorite things to do is laying out in Grammy and Grampa's backyard. The fresh air is so nice, and we love seeing the trees move and listen to the birds chirp! The doggies are constantly barking, but that's ok because we love them.
 

 
Sometimes we even fall asleep!

 
Since we have been in MA for so long, we have been able to visit with so many friends and family. Here is a picture of our visit with Olivia and Ellie, as well as Patrick and Callie!

 
Conor, Ellie, Callie and Caden are all just a few days apart. The twins were born 5/6, Callie on 5/11 and Ellie on 5/14. Four babies in eight days. Incredible.

 
We were even able to meet Shay Shay and Kyle the other day...aka the soon-to-be Neffendorfs. They are getting married in under 6 weeks. The big day is 10/3!! Can't wait. Shay (Callahan) is going to be one stunning bride. :)  I must say - Mr Neffendorf was simply amazing with these kids. Caden wouldn't let him go!

 
We were also able to meet and hang out with our fav west coast friends Sarah and Nicole all weekend...but that calls for an entirely different blog post. Here's a sneak peek!
 
 
 
 
Stay tuned!!
xo,
Shaz

  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

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

 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
