Griffin goes to Harvard


Every weekend we are in Cambridge. This is Hannah's 2nd year performing in the Nutcracker and her rehearsals are EVERY WEEKEND in Cambridge. I'm not complaining..really. And honestly, her rehearsals could be somewhere much worse right? So, while I wait for her to dance, Griffy and I walk around Harvard square. I swear to you I feel smarter just being there.


Griffin loves walking around here. It's so different from our quiet walks on the beach. It's so alive here! The music, the culture, the people, the beautiful old buildings, the books!




I could spend hours and hours in there.

He was playing this really cool instrument and speaking German to his dog. I wish I had kept up with my German. It's such a hard language.
This is the old church that Hannah's rehearsals are in. Don't you love old churches?
I think he's thinking about going to Harvard someday.

  4. Weathering a streak of jealousy here in the southwest. You get to wander Cambridge just for fun? You really have found heaven on earth. Sigh. Lucky you!

  11. Oh, a taste of the cosmopolitan is so refreshing sometimes! Love the look on Griffy's face...he's such an old soul! Andrew's taking German this year and loves it...he speaks it better than he ever did with 5 years of Spanish! xoxo

  12. MMmmm, love it! I love looking at other people's pictures and seeing other folks in them. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our own little world that we forget there are other people going about their day in their little town. Love. Love. Love. :-)
