House?

Many are wondering if we've heard about the house yet? Nope. Hopefully (at the latest), we'll hear something by the middle of next week. I'll post updates here as they happen.

I will however, share some pictures of Great Hill Park since I'm having trouble recovering photos from Jeff's computer of our initial visit. Jeff and I were there during Maglet's dance class throwing the ball down the hill for Lucy in an attempt to wear her out so we could go and tour Fenway later that day.

Not too bad for SOOC (straight out of the camera--Have you checked out Shutter Sisters yet? ). I'm excited about the colors in this picture, it was what I was trying to capture because it was very overcast where we were and the city had this nano second of blue sky that made colors brilliant in comparison to the rest of a gloomy day.




I love Lucy's flopping ears in this one.




The Green Monsta and the ginormous citgo sign that is my north star whenever I need to drive west out of the city.



The field from the press box. Touring Fenway has been something that Jeff has wanted to do since we moved here. I thought it was going to be one of those things that wives endure because they love their husbands. I only wish we'd have done it sooner so we could have taken visitors on this tour. It was entertaining and very informative about all the folklore surrounding Boston Baseball. We loved it...even Maglet was riveted. I would highly recommend this to anyone in the area if you haven't done it already.

The stacks of packed boxes are getting both higher and larger. I am loving the getting rid of stuff, it's very therapeutic. Things are gearing down for the last few weeks of school. I helped out with Maglet's field day yesterday. I was in charge of the parachute for eight 10 minute segments. I have never felt so inept in my life. I was totally not prepared because I was thinking they'd have games and ideas for me, but I thought wrong. Maglet's teacher took pity on me and came over to share some ideas and saved me. Whew! Who knew 10 minutes could take so long? Carl and Kat are still playing soccer and enjoying it. They both are going on some fun field trips in the next couple of weeks as well. It gets a little hectic running to and fro but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Fenway Park is pretty impressive. I had the same feelings before actually getting to go there. Glad you guys got a chance to tour it before you leave us! Any other "New England" things you're going to do before hitting the road? I highly reccomend the Duck Tours if you haven't had the chance to take one already. :)

Pretty picture! And Fenway park is beautiful. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you w/ the house!

I LOVE that tour...almost more than the games. In fact, if they served you a Fenway Frank and soft serve in a base ball cap at the end of it I would never need to go to another game again.

I love that picture of the skyline--you should win a blue ribbon for that one

Beautiful picture! It was fun to hear about your trip to FP! Boston is so full of history, I'm sure you will really miss that.

World's End. It is not too late, pack a lunch and go for a picnic!

Leslie said...

Are you guys moving west? Hope it works out because I would like it so much better if you were within driving distance! I love little Maglet's do. It is a mighty fine mullet. Much easier to fix that dilemma on a boy!

can't wait to see you in person!

I can't believe you guys are leaving. Good luck with packing and the move! Hopefully we'll bump into you out west some day.
