last weekends of summer

well we are winding down the summer but we have definitely taken advantage of the great weather we have had the past few weekends. here is a look at some of the fun... hope everyone had a great summer, the xmas countdown is on-i'm sure mom will have her little calendar going any day now!!!!

we were able to spend a day with paula, ted, lex and cam and had opportunity to meet mr. vincent pinnetti. he is the cutie above that happens to belong to my old friend mike and his wife jess. it was great seeing them and hopefully we will be seeing more of them soon.

mark, max and i have been able to spend some time just relaxing which has been awesome. we spent the day at horseneck beach last weekend. max is loving the waves this year and can finally sit long enough to play in the sand, although forget about a sand castle- he can't resist the urge to squash 'em.

another night spent with old friends was this past week with burgo. as you can see max enjoys his company as well. if any of you know burgo-you know this picture was not easy to get.

we also had a labor day cookout with the fam. this first picture is of my sister-in-law mel and evan. she has yet to appear on the blog and i have not heard the end of it so HERE SHE IS!! are you happy now, mel? just kidding!

here's jeffrey practicing his shot...

my father-in-law manny with max (making sure he doesn't get a sun burn while riding his bike)

just us trying to get a nice family shot-max didn't feel like sitting still (as usual), so here it is! today was a quiet day on the home front, just the 3 of us which was pretty nice. there was alot of car washing and waxing and a bit of shenanigans.
