Working at the cape house with Grandma and Grandpa D

I was away for a few days for a meeting so Grandma and Grandpa came out to visit and work on the house with Mat.  Elan had a great time working in the yard.  They also got to spend some time at the beach playing in the sand.

9 Months

Miss Mila is a busy 9 month old now!  She is now crawling and has 4 teeth.  

   

And of course Elan wanted to get in the pictures.

Boston Strong!

Monday was the Boston Marathon and to our horror and great sadness two men planted bombs at the finish line.  In the last crazy week, three spectators and one MIT police officer lost their lives.  They found the men, really close to our old apartment in Watertown and the MIT police officer was shot outside of my work.  It was all so close and personal.  However, over the last week the people of the city have been amazing and it has made Mat and I realize how proud we are to live in Boston and be Bostonians.  Marathon Monday is our favorite day in Boston and we were watching the the marathon at mile 18, far away from the finish line.  Mat and I have both decided to run the Boston Marathon again, maybe next year or the following year, but it will be for both the victims of the marathon and the love of our city and the spirit of its people.  We are Boston Strong!

Lexington's 300-year parade

Today we went to the Town of Lexington's 300th anniversary parade.  We were impressed with everything they had in the parade.  We think the kids had a great time.

Grandma and Grandpa J visit

Grandma and Grandpa J came out to visit for the week.  We went down to the cape house to work for the weekend.  Mila discovered the iPad and loved it.  Elan, being his goofy self, let Grandma cut his hair.  Elan sleeps really well after playing with Grandma and Grandpa!
