September Fall projects

 Had a quick lunch to celebrate June birthdays with our sweet neighbor Jennie:

Had a little team photo shoot and Maya showed that she is becoming a teenager!

Not sure how that happened?!?!

We took some French friends that moved here recently from California to traditional apple picking. It was good fun and yummy cider donuts:

Back to school in August !?!

 This year Maya Bee went back to school in August. I must say that it feels like the summer got cut short. Not a big fan of going back to school in August. Also, it didn't help that we got home the day before from France (totally worth it). Can't believe that your in 7th grade. 

Where is my Maya going?

A new exciting event for Maya Bee was trying out for the Nutcracker! So fun!!

Lastly, we found out that you will be doing a solo to your favorite French song!

Quick Stop on old stopping grounds in August

We were very fortunate to get to France! Boy, was it good to be back with the family.

Been way too long! January 2021

 Sooo, Covid-19 happened, and somehow the blog got pushed to the side.

Lets look back on 2021.

January always starts off with Daddy's birthday. This year mommy made the galette des rois. They didn't come out too bad and were enjoyed by the whole Leigh family.

 

Maya did another ski racing season and met some nice new friends. You also kept busy doing dance classes. This year you did a lot more variations, including lyrical, contemporary, jazz, tap , and ballet. You also learned a new trick.

Batter up!

So my Bee, you have picked up the bat and glove, like your mom.  You are a natural.  You seem to really enjoy it. Your team is the San Francisco Giants, and you are a WONDERFUL team!

You have had one practice and 3 games, and that is all you have done. Tonight's game, you hit your first ball and made it to first! I can't believe how you improve so quickly! I am helping out with the team and enjoy every minute.

Here are a few shots from before a game and during the game that you got your first hit:

What is up

My dear Bee,
It has been so long. It often seems to be the beginning to these letters. You are such a busy Bee.

The last I posted was a year and a half ago.

I try to write about our journey for the School Year 2017/2018

November 4th, we had your birthday dinner at Feng Shui in Chelmsford, which was a hibachi dinner. You seemed to really enjoy it. The next day you had your final Pop warner cheer exhibition in Lowell.  You girls did amazing!!
We celebrated your 9th POOP theme birthday party at Micheal's. It was a very good time! The girls that celebrated with you were Kayleigh Graham, Emerson Kirchner, Jennifer Keane, Gabi Solari, Gabby Bono, Abby Ventullo, Mackenzie Patel, and Brooklyn Richardson. It was a lot of fun! You made a painting and a bag.

You were kept busy doing Jag twice a week, and tumbling classes. You are playing the violin and recorder, which you are doing well.

We did a photo with Santa and fellow Pop warner E team cheer mates.


We celebrated Thanksgiving for the first time for you in America.

We then took off November 30th, for France to celebrate St Nicolas for the last time. It was a wonderful, but emotional time. You had a visit with your best friends Oceane,Ninon, and Thalia. You even got to workout with them a bit. It was a quick visit. We said goodbye to our house on Traverse des Iles and was quite sad. On our way back, we took a pit stop in Ireland, but unfortunately, you had a stomach bug and we weren't able to do much.

We came back to Burlington to snow. You and Gammie got busy making cookies.

You started ski and snowboard lessons at Wachusetts. You instructor name was Heather, and she was so sweet to you.

Dad made it over for Christmas. It was a lot of fun. Christmas Eve was at Gammie and Grampi's and Christmas day was at Auntie Stacey and Uncle Mike.

Happy Autumn
