My Molars Are Coming

Recently, Ethan has been having a LOT of drooling. And he has been a bit more fussy. Turns out that's because he has molars coming in. We hope they finish arriving quickly!

Grandma and Grandpa Greenberg's Last Visit to Boston

Grandma and Grandpa Greenberg flew out to visit us over Mother's Day weekend. They had not seen Ethan in over 5 months--they were sure amazed at how much he had changed!

We had a nice visit, and we did a lot of eating!! You see grandma and grandpa LOVE seafood, and if there is one thing we have a lot of in Boston, its seafood.

On Saturday, they enjoyed oysters for lunch at the Union Oyster House. That night, we had lobster for dinner, from a local place called "Louie's Lobsters--Alive and Kicking". It is conveniently located just a few blocks from our place--and although you can take them home 'alive and kicking' we had ours pre-cooked. Of course, I still go by the mantra "if its from the sea, its not for me" so I ate pasta. But apparently the lobster was quite good.

For Mother's Day, we headed out to brunch at a cute restaurant called North Street Grille. We had a great meal. And the restaurant couldn't even make a complaint about the fact that Ethan was messy, since it was Mother's Day! Afterward we took a stroll around the North End.

On Monday, I had the day off (having worked on Saturday), and we went to the Boston Children's museum. It was great--with a little kids area that was perfect for Ethan--his favorite part was a large wooden car that he could climb in and "drive".

Thanks for coming to visit!

Kristin Comes for a Visit

This post is a bit over due....two weekends ago, my friend Kristin came up from Jacksonville, FL to visit. The same weekend, Jason was in New Orleans for a conference, so it was great to have some adult company!


Ethan enjoyed meeting Kristin, and although she was stuck doing kiddie activities, we had a pretty good time.



Some highlights were a visit to Boston's Franklin Park Zoo, and a walk downtown. The Boston Garden was in full bloom, and beautiful.


We only have 3 months left here, so book your visits now!!!

LAST DAY OF SWIMMING!

Ethan had his final swimming lesson this past Sunday. He now has officially completed the "Parent Tot A" class at Boston University.





He learned to submerge his head and jump off the side.

He learned to float (with assistance) on his tummy, on his back...



He also made some nice friends! At the end of the lesson he received a certificate - his first one.
