Nantucket

I was lucky enough to cash in on a free mini vacation by visiting my parents, Kate, Joey and Ben at their rental house on Nantucket for a few days. I think I need to win the lottery so I can buy a house down there. The weather was great, we were walking distance to town, had dinner out by the water, played at the beach and enjoyed checking out Cisco Brewery. I want to go back!

Settling into Suburbia...

Although we still have a couple of unpacked boxes, endless furniture to buy and pictures to hang we're settling into the new house wonderfully! I am absolutely loving being out in the suburbs and feel much more calm and happy now that I don't have the city buzzing about me constantly. Tucker and I had our first Concord "date night" at 80 Thoreau Friday and it was great! I have a feeling it will be our new favorite special occasion spot!

Saturday I was off to Brookline to celebrate Lyndsey and DL's soon to be bundle of joy at Noel's house. I unfortunately didn't get any pictures from the shower but it was so great to catch up with the wine club ladies! Can't wait to see what the Lyndsey ends up having! After that shower I headed to Erin and Matt's to see their new house in Milton and meet their 3 month old, Ryan. Most of the Southie girls were in attendance - Ben and Emmy stole the show - here are the some pictures to prove it!

Kate, Joey and Ben came out to Carlisle for a sleepover after all of the baby celebrations. Sunday we woke and decided to go "look" at cars and came home with a 2009 Volvo XC90 - we are officially suburbianites! To celebrate we made some lobster at home and called it a night!

hot night, summer in the city

Sorry I've been a terrible blogger and sorry there are no new house pictures - we'll get some up once the boxes are unpacked! We just spent most of our weekend in New York City celebrating Jane and Ross with a few other Colgate friends.

The wedding spot, Liberty Wharf, in New York City was gorgeous! Unfortunately mother nature had other plans and something knocked out the electricity. No power meant no air conditioning in 90 plus degree heat - they got a generator up and running to help the band play and some flood lights to illuminate the room but that was it! Jane and Ross handled it like champs though and we all had a blast! Congrats guys!
