July

 Our 4th of July weekend started with paddle board lessons on Oneida Lake!

Syracuse Mets game!

I loved seeing Liam and Eli's reactions to it all the most. I kept telling them, "someday, we will be sitting here and watching you guys play. One day, you'll be the ones out on that field." And their eyes would just light up. So full of dreams and possibility.
