Pictures of The Week

There has been a lot happening here in Boston, as many of you have heard.  Obviously my blogging has taken a back seat to everything else.  Here I am again, playing catch-up from the last couple of weeks.  I can say, on this cloudy Tuesday morning, how grateful I am for the Lords hand in my life.  Each picture I share is evident of that.  Small, simple things are really what matter most.



Clare is always a good sport when it comes to me putting things in her hair.  She doesn't always keep them in, but she will humor me - even if it's for a moment.  This is a bow-tie I made for Noah, and decided to use it as a hair bow one day.  I loved it, she didn't.


We were excited (to say the least) when we found out that Boston was getting it's very own Shake Shack.  It's about time, and it was as delicious as I remember it in NYC. 


Clare has entered this phase...where she helps herself to anything she can get her hands on. 


Andy attended an LDS MBA Conference and when he met up with his buddy Taylor it was apparent that they were on the same wavelength that morning....


Later that evening we went on a Boston Harbor dinner cruise.  Usually it's called a booze cruise, but since it was all Mormons on the boat, the poor bartender wasn't getting much action. 




Two good friends, no better way to spend a long boat ride. 


Noah's baby, taking a nap.  He is such an attentive parent.


Noah was a little under the weather a couple of weeks ago.  I really hate it when they are sick, but I LOVE how mellow and snuggly they are. :)


I love this pie.  It's my very very favorite.  You can find the recipe here


We are in the process of looking for summer housing and one afternoon while Clare was napping I spent some time searching for a place to live.  Meanwhile, Noah fell asleep on the couch while playing with the iPad.  That almost never happens.   


Clare has hit a big milestone in her life, wearing a ponytail!  She is so sweet.


One evening, after putting the kids to bed, Andy heard them chatting and went into to check on them.  This is what he found.  Noah had climbed in Clare's crib and told Andy that he didn't want Clare to sleep.


I LOVE Clare's cheesy face in this picture.  Here she is with her BFF Abby, they are quite the pair.
