Mega update
I finally finished the jacket for Hope and gave it to her over the weekend. Here’s the photographic evidence.
…and I was afraid it would be too small! Huzzah! Note also that Hope is now walking!
So we were in Pennsylvania for my
Mom’s retirement party. The weather was fabulous–sunny and bright and
pleasantly temperate. We got to see the fam…
play with Hope…
Ezra making the funniest face EVER
and go to Otto’s (mmm, beer). But of course, the main event was the
retirement party. Mom seemed to like our gifts–a locket from Kim,
Glenn, and Hope, and a retirement starter kit (sewing box, book, gift
certificates, etc.) from me and Ez. The party was at the Civil
Engineering Lodge at Stone Valley, which turned out to be very nice
given the pretty weather.
Marty, Mark, and Mom (Poor Mark is losing both of his fellow third grade teachers in one year!!)
I got my hair cut, and got in some fun thrift
shopping, too (loot includes three scarves, some antique Christmas
postcards–since I can’t leave State College without some, and a swell
blazer/jacket that was only four bucks!).
Now we’re back home and the kitties are content. Thanks to Amy and Doug for looking in on them! Speaking of which…
Last Tuesday they joined us for our first Red Sox game of the year.
Unfortunately, the Sox lost, but it was still quite fun. First there
was revelry at the blissfully uncrowded Boston Beer Works–it helps to
get there early.
This was followed by actual baseball.
