Family Visit

This week, my grandparents, parents, uncle, and youngest sister came to visit us in Boston! It was only a few days, but we squeezed in a lot of sightseeing!

We also spent [...]

Family Visit

My brother Nate, sister Becca, and brother-in-law Steve came to visit this past week. We had a lot of fun, did some sightseeing, and even managed to paint two rooms in the new apartment!

Connect the Spots

I love it when a series of things connect into family time. Austin, Sam and I went downtown, and between lunch with one of my coworkers-sending a fax-stopping by Downtown Crossing-returning books at the BU library, we had a wonderful family walk.

What a Weekend

We had quite a weekend! My coworker, Jenny, did the invitations for the Museum of Fine Art’s summer gala (our company letterpress printed them as a donation to the museum). As a thank you, they put our names on the guest list for Saturday, along with one guest each. Jenny brought our coworker, Sarah, and [...]

SoWa Art Walk

Saturday, the rain was a heavy mist soaking everything from all sides without ever really falling. The city sagged under the weight and dripped into lakes (always at the crosswalks, of course).

Rosy Outlook

The whole demeanor of the city changes when warm(er) weather arrives. Here are a few photos from last Saturday. I met Amy and Jess in Cambridge for a walk and some hot chocolate (it was still a little chilly out), then Jess and I went to Dartmouth Square, a beautiful little courtyard in her neighborhood [...]

May Days

Here are a few more photos from our long walk a couple of weeks ago.

And here are some from Thursday. It was a warm day and the apartment was stuffy, so Sam and I went to Long Wharf to enjoy some cool ocean breezes.

Brilliant Boston

…and here are more photos from yesterday. Austin taught his last class of the semester and handed back the papers he has spent day and night grading this week. Sam and I had already had a picnic lunch and spent most of the day in the park, and after class Austin joined us. We ended [...]

Branches and Blooms

Spring is here! We spent all day outside yesterday, and I have enough photos for three or four posts, so here’s the first.

Arts Festival

Sorry for the long gap between posts. Sam has been horribly cranky this week. He has another tooth coming in that seems to be hurting worse than the last one. It’s interfering with his naps, which exacerbates his crankiness and makes it difficult for me to accomplish anything. We’ll have to have a little party [...]
