This summer, of course, was pretty much hotter than I ever remember summer being. This is true Murphy’s Law in the Hammond household. Luke was born at 9am on the Sunday of Blizzard Nemo (25 inches of snow, city of Boston shut down). The cold lasted long enough for stir-craziness to set in and we couldn’t WAIT for summer. So along comes June and where did we end up spending the majority of our time? Inside clinging to the AC because it was just too hot.

At least we had the park to ourselves at 8:30 when it’s still shady enough to be out and about! (Try not to judge Jack for eating pretzel goldfish…in the morning.. with extremely dirty park-hands…off of a bench for that matter. Yikes, I guess things have changed now that there are two in the picture!)
