Spring is moving into summer quickly
Though Scott has had some big deadlines,
we've had lots of quality family time with Scott working from home
Last Saturday, Scott decided he wanted to do a big all day activity with the kids.
They decided to make their own star wars fan movie.
Perhaps we'll share it with you sometime. :)
Oliver and I had no patience for filmmaking, so after Ollie shot his scenes, he and I went walking and biking respectively at Mine Falls Park in Nashua.
We liked it so well, we decided to bring the family back in 2 days time for Memorial day canoeing.
Sunday, we did a little family history by visiting Marlborough, NH where William and Lydia White are buried in the East Cemetary, my relatives through the Norven Storrs line. William White was a greatgrandson of Pereguin White, the first child born in NE, from the Mayflower.
I need to do a little more research if there are any direct grandparents buried in NH. There were some more Whites in the Graniteville Cemetary, this one, Rebecca White was a 6th generation relative of Peregrine White as well.
Memorial Day, Oliver and I took the rest of the family back to
Mine Falls Park for some beautiful canoeing
The boys took periodic walks on the trail to stretch their legs, and at the very end, I decided it was my turn to stretch my legs, and the boys navigated the canoe all by themselves back to the beach
Here you can see the canoe way out there, but I could still here they bickering and getting mad at each other. Hahaha. It wasn't easy to steer the boat, but they made it!! I was so proud!
Timmy's been working on his social isolation hair
We think he should cut it into a wild-style before getting a summer buzz
Aaron's 11th birthday was an exciting day for everyone!
He enjoyed so much all the well wishes, cards and gifts
The biggest excitement was the birthday parade that we invited friends, the fire and police dept and the ice cream truck (Miss Dotty) to attend. It was a great celebration of Aaron's big day and we appreciated all those who came out.
The family also left Aaron some Marco Polo messages so they could virtually "attend" and he loved that too!
Aaron is a very capable, responsible and caring person.
He surprises us with his ability to learn new skills very quickly.
He's a great friend to everyone and likes to have fun!
He's always willing to go on a new adventure and try new things.
He's been exploring (as has Timmy) the neighborhood lately on an e-bike and has been fearless in venturing out into the "unknown" areas of town. He's now biked to all his best friend's houses in town, and they don't live very close to us. :)
He loves skiing and playing Magic the Gathering.
Lately, he's been learning how to 3D print, and has been running the printer himself.
He's an avid reader and loves graphic novels, fantasy and action packed books.
He was on the math olympiads team at school this year, which is very prestigious. He ranked in the top 30% on the team. His team ranked in the top 10% of over 1000 teams around the world.
He is such a great brother and friend to all of his siblings.
We look forward to seeing him move into the 6th grade and young men's this coming year
and to see where he takes his 12th year of life.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AARON!
