there was something about this summer that felt extra sweet with the boys. we really embraced the New England summer vibes - lots of time on the beach, fairs, fireworks, lobster rolls, and staying out late for ice cream.
we also kicked off the summer with a big family trip to Portugal - our first international trip with the boys! traveling with kids at this age is A LOT and we are grateful for the memories we will cherish for years to come.
i’m of the mindset that summer isn’t over until september 22nd so I will keep soaking up this season as much as I can. but with school starting soon and chillier mornings, I’m feeling the shift, and wanted to highlight some of our fav moments from this season. 🌞
