Our weekends are go, go, go but I wouldn’t have it any other way! The boys play lacrosse, baseball and golf so we are jam packed from the second they get out of school on Friday to Sunday evening but I love nothing more than being at a field with them and watching them learn, grow and do something they love. We do find moments in between for some down time and socializing so here are some snaps … [Read more...]
