Playground fun!!

Baby Eli born December 7th 2011 :)

My heart could not be more full of love for this beautiful baby! He was born early and was a totally unexpected surprise. He is gorgeous and strong and doing very well!

I am happy beyond belief for Katelyn and Tom and their brand new son :)

Ryan's Birthday~ 2011

The birthday boy and his beloved, out for the birthday dinner. :) Yes, my granddaughter is cared for by these two.

Burt chips in to help light the great ABUNDANCE of candles. (some gently used)

The cute little fam watches the blaze go out, and suffers through the smoke.

Getting into the holiday spirit in Boston with Ollie :)

The Holiday Boston Pops For Kids!

Symphony Hall

.
The view from our seats..

What a fabulous time, with the right mix of storytelling and fun sing- along songs!!

Hazel won over Santa's heart-

Then she won over Jan Brett's heart and Jan signed Hazel's book.

Then Hazel won over Keith Lockhart's heart-

Then Keith won over my heart-

Running around like a maniac after a wonderful day at the Pops!!

To top the day off- we walked across the street to UNO's for lunch and a very nice man at the table next to us, began talking to Hazel and it turns out it was James Orent! (Keith Lockhart's understudy) - He was sitting with a number of musicians from the orchestra. I shamelessly passed around my playbook for autographs!

Loving this mild fall :)
