Pennant Fever!

This is how we feel.... when the Twins beat the Tigers!

Also, when Al gets to play on the new quilt from Grandma McKie -
isn't it beautiful?



Careful!


...ooh I like a pennant race!

Al in Boston

We had a wonderful, if fast, trip to Boston and Hanover.

BUT...we were TERRIBLE about taking photos.

(this is Al back in Minnesota, apparently happy to be off of that plane!)


He rolled over in the hotel!


Since we TOOK NO PHOTOS of the trip to Hanover, here are some oldies:

2006 at the Perfect Pear in Bradford VT with Hanna and Liesel

- We got to see Liesel on Saturday which was her FOURTH birthday!
- And, we got to meet baby Jonathon, just 2 1/2 weeks old!


200-? Balch Hill. On Sunday, we had a great visit with Charlie and Gill and took Alistair up to see this view. There was lots of milkweed, but no monarch butterflies.


2006- Paul's graduation.


On Sunday, we arrived back into Boston, and got to see lots of buddies!


Dr. Hadlund



Carcassonne! We LET Scott win...


Though Alistair and mommy did lots (LOTS) of walking, this is our sole photo of the city.

Note the great view of the Charles and Cambridge - we could even see into Fenway!


We stayed right on Copley Square...the shopping was tempting,

but life is different with an infant.

Let's go to bed late and wake up early, OK guys?!




Hey! What is this guy doing in Boston!?



On Tuesday, Al and Mommy went to Southborough to visit the Colby Davies.

Nathan is a TERRIFIC two year old. Take note, Al Baby!




Nathan and Betsy - Life is good.


Nathan gives his Mommy a kiss.

Layover in O'Hare - Alistair is a great traveler.
We have had a couple of terrific trips lately, but we're glad to be back home and into our routine.
