Long Overdue Thanksgiving Recap!

-

We had a nice visit to Cape Cod for Thanksgiving - but sadly, the boys ended up being under the weather most of the time we were there. To be honest, we are still fighting some of those same sicknesses over here. Caden was SO over-the-top fussy during Thanksgiving dinner. For some reason, I found it double hard and stressful when you are around family. All you want is for your kids to be happy and healthy around other people (especially ones they don't see very often). You want their real personalities to shine and you want them to have fun and be fun, right? Well, this unfortunately didn't happen for us this Thanksgiving since they were feeling so poorly. I felt bad for them - and the best thing was for them to rest. Caden was sick overnight and throughout the next few days (after just coming off of another cold and pretty bad cough). And Conor ended up getting an ear infection and now has a horrible cough. He's on amoxicillin. Hopefully his cough settles down soon. It wakes him a lot throughout the night.

Anyway, the boys were at least very very happy when we took them outside in the Cape. I think they loved the fresh air, and all the smells and sounds. We spent a lot of time at the beach since it was BEAUTIFUL outside (and still is!). Here are a few of my favorite shots. Here's to C-Squared being a bit healthier this Christmas season. Fingers crossed! ;)

Conor having the time of his life!


And Caden having a blast at the beach, too!


Visiting the beach with Nana and Auntie Theresa! Everybody got their feet a little wet with the waves, hehe.




Marylous pic for Chrissy and Linds!


 A few beach favs of the kiddos...




We also found some time to take them to a merry go round in a mall in Hyannis. They LOVED it!



And C-squared in front of their Cape house! Two years ago, we made our pregnancy announcement with Jim and I holding two little "I Love Cape Cod" onesies standing in this exact same spot!




All for now. I hope you are all having a great weekend!

xo,
Shaz


PS Flashback pic to Conor having his arm around Caden back when they were 8 months....and over Thanksgiving weekend at almost 19 months. He's so lovable and affectionate. He loves his brother so much.

  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
