our first full day in Boston, and our hotel

The old state house

The old south church, where Sam Adams stood an said nothing more could be done, which was the cue for the men to get up and leave, head down milk street to the wharf, and proceed with the Boston Tea Party.

This is the granary cemetery. Paul Revere has an obscure little marker you can barely read.

This is the USS Constitution, aka Old Ironsides

Paul Revere's home.

The old north church. Where the lanterns were hung, "Two if by sea."

Just a fun street across from the union oyster bar.

The circus! Melody was more fun to watch than the show...

Seven Peaks this summer. I know they're old, but these pics of Melody are so cute and chubby that I thought you would all like to see them!

Short, Rainy, and bored.

We are having a beautiful, rainy sunday afternoon right now. Dad has his cousin and her kids over right now, so everybody else is playing Apples to Apples. And having fun. Anyway, Emma's baptism was yesterday, so we have all been super totally busy. Yeah........ Anyway, any questions?

Update

Orchestra starts tomorrow. Back to the old grind. Oh, well. Guess what??? As part of choir, Drew and I get to participate in 4 Kurt Bestor concerts. Cool, huh? We will also have our totally amazing christmas concert for choir December 4th and 5th.
Our cat, Skyfire, had 8 kittens. We "got rid" of them the next day, since 8 kittens is 8 kittens too many.
If you have any questions, ask. I LOVE TO POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
