Sunflowers Galore!!

How AMAZING are these sunflowers? 

For the past few years, I have seen these sunflower pics on facebook. I never knew where they were - so I looked it up last week. I saw that they were located on a farm in Newbury, so I decided we needed to go. My mom came with us. Here are some of my fav pics from yesterday.


Conor and Mom

Caden and Mom

Cal and Mom






We found friends Lindsay and Britney at the farm! Unknowingly, I offered to take their picture and they recognized Conor and Caden!! HA! It was sooooo fun. Great seeing you girls!



My mom let Caden use her phone....we were deciding whether that was a good idea or not after he unlocked it.

Our family walk later last night - we walked to get ice cream! The boys are teething so I thought it might help.



I made some "lactation cookies" for myself and my friend Shayla. I tweaked the recipe a bit this time. Hopefully they're good!
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds 
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup "applesauce" - raw apple in a blender 
  • 1/4 cup peanutbutter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder 
  • 2/3 cup whole almonds 
  • 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips




Here is Colby Farm's website. And here is the sunflower page. They can be found at 50 Scotland Road, Newbury, MA and they're open from 9AM-6:30PM. You should go!!

All for now!

  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
