MFA

Last week the kids hit the MFA with Grammy

Out and about

The kids had fun around Boston again today, back at Ring fountain and also the Kennedy Rose Garden

And also under some crazy balloon tree that I guess is a promotion for an exhibit at the MFA?

Boston Public Market

Eva had a day out today with her best friend Natalie

Buck Hill

The next day was much cooler so we opted for the woods instead.

Eva's hiking outfit is particularly special 

At the top of Buck Hill

First beach day

Museum of Fine Arts

We went to visit the Museum of Fine Arts the other day.  It was fun.

We especially enjoyed the modern art wing

Then we went and made reflective statues out of cardboard and metal foil at one of the many kids activities they were running.  It was a great day!

Hike!

Last week we took advantage of the November sun to take a nice hike at the Blue Hills reservation

Noah and Eva climbed many rocks

And posed for some cute pictures

And silly pictures... 

and cute... 

and silly... 

And Noah even took our picture... 

And back to silly... 

The end. :)

Back!

Ok, so we've been back for a month and a half.  And it's been a crazy one, with no blog posts (sorry about that).  I'll try to catch up.

So.... Noah started first grade

And while he was nervous it wasn't going to be any fun because there weren't any toys in the classroom it is really going great so far.

Eva started another year of preschool

And she wasn't nervous at all and has been basically owning being back where she is comfortable.  Apparently last week they had to wait a few minutes while some visiting firemen got their presentation ready and Eva taught her entire class a dance (unprompted, apparently she just decided to do it and they all followed her).  

It's been great being home and re-discovering all of the things we enjoy doing here

arrgh, our pirate garb has also been rediscovered... 

And our backyard and our neighborhood and we are riding larger bikes now... 

And we had the smattering of fall Jewish Holidays, we had a lovely visit in Tully/Ithaca for Rosh Hashanah

And then came back and ate in our sukkah and the kids made some lulavim

shaking practice

So here we are in October and I haven't even told you about our vacation or about Noah losing another tooth.  Ah well, life goes on and it's difficult to both enjoy it and blog at the same time.
