Call me a fair weather fan, call me what you will, but today was awesome.

Shower the People You Love with Love

Saturday was Nicole's baby shower. 25 of her favorite people in the world showered her and baby Hailey with so much love ... and loot! I've never seen so many cute little pink things in my life. It was such a joy to see her so healthy and full of baby, surrounded by the important people in her life, who are all waiting eagerly to meet this child. Just 11 more weeks...

I made a little pink cardigan sweater, but it will have to wait until Hailey is 2 or 3 years old.

I also made these little chocolate bars, since Nicole *sort of* likes chocolate.

Boston in 64 Hours

This past weekend my sister brought her 5-year-old to Boston to spend some time with us. We were so thrilled to be sharing some quality time with Jack and Julie. We've decided all nieces and nephews get to come do Boston with us when they're 5 (or older). We conquered so much stuff in the span of 64 hours I can hardly remember, but a quick list includes: the Children's Museum (the Arthur exhibit was the biggest hit), the Aquarium, eating his first lobster, the IMAX theater, the "blue" park, the boat to Charlestown, Quincy Market, and playing Uno and Sorry in our basement.
