Not enough words!

Between 6 cameras, I just couldn't fit all the pictures from our fantastic weekend, but I wanted to get a few on here, so I can blog about how proud we are of our Mike!  This past weekend Mike graduated from UNH's doctorate program.  YOOOHOOO!!!!  Balloons, streamers....

We are so proud of Mike, he is amazing and deserves all the recognition he can get.  He has worked to hard these past 10 years at school and work and doing the "Dad" thing.  He is an amazing example to so many people and especially our children.  They will always know how important education is, and remember their Dad graduating.  

He looked so handsome in his robes, and unfortunately we couldn't talk him into wearing his glasses.  I know?  We were so blessed to have so much family in town to help us celebrate this wonderful event  Thanks Tom ,Frankie, Tracy, Jeff, Matt, and Mom and Dad. You totally made this weekend special. And thank you so much to our friends that help us Celebrate too.  





You can barely see him...but Mikes on the right side getting "hooded" We were all so busy trying to catch the "money shot" we forgot to cheer!  Sorry Mike  Woohoo, way to go...etc. 



Love this man.

The Dean's on the East Coast

Kata!!!!!!!!
Kata is my oldest friend and I just adore her.  So when she called a few weeks ago saying she was going to be in Boston for the Day I screamed, jumped up and down, and started scheming on how to get down to see her.  Not only Kata came, but her two oldest (she has 5) CJ and Savannah, and her newest babe, Clare.  Oh, why didn't I hold that baby more?  

We had so much fun talking, eating, sightseeing, and general mayhem.  Her kids are darling, and I wish my big kids could have come.  I just had Elliot to tag along.  In fact to keep Elliot busy I let her have my camera.  She got a few good ones, including this cute one of Kata and Savannah.  



We did so much walking and not one single complaint from her kiddos.  Seriously best kids ever.  The kids got a kick out of this macaroni sculpture.  Too bad we didn't see the sign to NOT CLIMB on it till after we put our kids up there and snapped a few shots.  Sorry macaroni sculpture-er, we didn't mean to disrespect your art, we were just enjoying it the best way we know how.
 


Fenway park was a hit with CJ and Elliot always loves a photo op.  Even little Clare became a Red Sox Fan.


Thanks guys for making it to our side of the country, I'll give you a squeaky-brake-tour anytime.  Love you!
