september 21st - october 4th

Now that we’re back to work & school, we spend as much of our weekends as possible on the beach! We set up “Camp Ventriello”, bring food, drinks, chairs, toys, shovels, and fishing gear, and the kids have a blast, playing for hours. I have to admit that I kind of hate the beach in the summer, but the rest of the year is so wonderful, especially September and October!

We also officially became foster failures and adopted not one, but BOTH of the puppies…two puppies is pretty crazy, and with 4 kids, 4 cats, and 2 puppies, when someone has an accident on the floor, we don’t really know who it is…But they’re sweet pups, and the kids have been surprisingly good about training and taking care of them.
