The Nelson Five: Ahhh, Summer

Ahhh, Summer

We are certainly enjoying the unhurried, unscheduled pace of summertime! Although I have to admit that I always get this crazy panicky feeling right before the start of this glorious season. I think part of it is my apprehension about being able to fill our days with quality, non-TV/video game/Wii/PS2/etc. type activities. I think the other part is the fact that this type-A gal is suddenly thrown into the deep end without the schedule and routine life-preserver that she so desperately holds onto, which causes much internal chaos to say the least!

Nevertheless, we have been coping, no, make that enjoying, open days and endless hours with the many offerings of this great city! Here are a few photos from our first day of summer vacation which we spent at Princess Di's Memorial Playground:

These boys can certainly cope with the lazy days of summer, can't you tell?

Welcome

I began this blog in 2008 as we picked up and moved our family from Dallas, Texas to London, England as a result of a fabulous job opportunity for my husband. My primary goal was to stay in touch with family and friends as well as begin an online family photo album to preserve our precious memories. With 3 young boys at home and life moving at a breakneck speed, I found that by taking even a few moments to capture a thought or a photo or a memory from our day provided a much needed outlet and a place to be a bit more intentional and present. Our family enjoyed every single moment of our two years in London before a new role was offered to my husband which also required a relocation, this time to Boston, Massachusetts. We settled in Wellesley in September of 2009 and loved life in our teeny-tiny Norman Rockwell New England town. After 4 fabulous years in Boston, our family relocated yet again, this time back to Dallas. We feel so fortunate to have been given these amazing opportunities to live and visit and experience life in different places and we certainly look forward to many more adventures!
