Birthdays, Baseball, Boat rides and Beer

Our week has been full...Will turned 8! We had a family get together and Will got all things baseball. He loves to play it..watch it..(Red Sox of course)..talk about it..collect the cards...and he hasn't taken his teams hat off all summer. He even sleeps with it on. Happy Birthday Buddy!
My neice Cameron has been here visiting from Texas. We love listening to her accent. She thinks we sound weird. She and Hannah are the same age...it's nice for Hannah to have a girl around in this boy-filled house. We painted pottery..
And went to the Vineyard...they jumped off the bridge there. Steve had my camera in New York which was a total bummer.
But I loved seeing the pictures of him playing...

Yesterday we took the ferry into Boston to the Aquarium...this sweet woman from Russia came up to me on the boat and told me how lovely and well behaved my children were. (I didn't tell her that one of them was my neice...for a few minutes I pretended to have 5 kids)...Anyway, what mom doesn't love to hear that? Although, she must not have heard some of the arguing and Will talking about when he sneezes he farts. Not so lovely.
I love Boston.
And don't you love Sam's Summer? It tastes really good on a ferry after a long day!

  2. Your kids are beautiful! I love the pic on the ferry with Will's arms coming out of Griffy's head.
    Occasionally I've gotten the 'well-behaved' comment. And I treasure those moments. Because they are realllllly rare.
    When can I come visit? Love to see Boston!
